One of the most important principles in economic thinking is “Everything has a cost.” Yes, that’s right. Everything comes with a cost: the meal you are preparing for today; the choice to stay home or go to work; posting that comment or picture on Twitter or Instagram; saving or spending that extra income; sleeping for an extra hour or getting an early start to your day; working for a Fortune 500 company or taking an entrepreneurial path; living the single life or getting married.
Whether on a micro or macro level, recognizing those costs and benefits can lead to better decision-making and successful strategy execution. The same is true as it relates to success. There is a cost involved in adopting a status-quo lifestyle. There is also a cost attached to creating and pursuing your passion and living a life of purpose.
In this episode of The Mindfullness Show, I discuss the price that must be paid for success. Have you considered the long term cost of your decisions and actions? How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? And what are you willing to do in order to live the life your soul craves and rise to meteoric levels of success?

Dear friend,
Fortunately, there are also things which does not cost anything: “The air we breathe, the sunshine we get, rain or snow and last but not least – love – and so I wish that even spirituality should be not a matter of business but free – as spiritual truth does not cost anything as well – the rest goes under business and has its price…
Thanks for sharing
Have a nice weekend

I like this! Great job. It’s so true that. . .every choice we make affects another. Like if we eat a cherry-filled donut. . .we might end up sick, but if we chose the eggs n toast, we might not of. LOL Yeah weird example, but it’s interesting to know how each choice changes the way our future or present will be, AND. . .That’s why we need to be living in the moment. . .not for the moment. Don’t waste your life making dumb choices 😀
Nice one!

Thank you! “Each choice changes the way our future or present will be.” That’s it!! That sentence captures the essence not only of the post but also of life. Btw, I love cherry-filled donuts. 😄

They most certainly do. I think the key is taking small steps and experiencing small victories, then repeat. That strategy has worked for me thus far. All the best to you!
