My mother would always tell us, anything that is worthwhile in life has a price. Isn’t this so true?
There is a very common expression which I am sure you are familiar with. It goes like this: “easy come, easy go.” Anything that comes easily in life usually does not stay.
Success in life is certainly not in the category of “easy come”.
This is because true success lasts!
When you apply the discipline, determination and dedication necessary to reach your level of success, when you reach your dreams you will be glad it was not easy.
Why? Because the things in life that cost you:
- You appreciate.
- You take care of (maintain) and
- You value.
Plus the discipline, determination and dedication it took to achieve your success has prepared you to maintain the lifestyle that will MAINTAIN and RETAIN your success.
Today is Day 55 of following the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge and today’s affirmation is:
I am willing to pay the Price for Success.
Yes, there is a price. Those who win the lottery do not reach success. They are simply able to spend more money for a little while. Yes, a very very high percentage of lottery winners end up broke again within the first two years of winning.
The path to true and lasting success in life is paved with a price. What is this price?
Discipline: It takes discipline to continually act on daily training and action plans.
Your daily training plan consists of reading, listening to or watching motivational teachings as well as material that will enhance your skills in your field of expertise.
Determination: Any Olympic Champion will tell you that they passed moments in their training process that required sheer grit and determination. You will have days when you may not “feel like” training or working.
These are the days when your WHY (your life purpose) will keep you motivate and moving ahead. These are the days when it will take determination to overcome your emotions and show them that YOU rule. Your will should always be stronger than your emotions.
Dedication: It takes dedication to your goals and dreams to stay on your course and not get distracted by the many “shiny objects” that will cross your path every day.
It takes dedication to be stay focused on your goals and dreams and consistent in following your daily action plans.
I am willing to pay the Price for Success.

“Every worthwhile accomplishment has a price tag attached to it. The question is always whether you are willing to pay the price to attain it – in hard work, sacrifice, patience, faith, and endurance.”
