I know of someone who has a penchant of equating the things he does with the idea of "price'.
Every action that leads to a consequence comes with a price tag...be it in spiritual or emotional , or even monetary or temporal terms. We all seem to think that in order to achieve success, the price we pay is through the 'sacrifices' we make. It does suggest that if we are willing to pay the price, we can win.
The things we give up are valuable 'commodities' by themselves.
Time, energy , health, family, relationships and a peace of mind are indeed things we need to consider carefully before we decide to give up.
Yet...there are other pressing needs that may sometimes make us lose our sense of focus in life.
We find ourselves in a dilemma when we have to choose between what we want, and what we need.
There is really nothing as 'having it all."
We need to decide, and the sacrifices can be painful.
At the end of the day...look deep within yourself.
"What is my purpose? Where are my goals?"
"Is it worth the price? Will the ends outweigh everything else"
Can I be accountable and also be at peace with myself when these choices are made?
Dear God,
I am still searching for answers. But the one thing for sure, let all my actions, my words, and my deeds bring me so
much closer to you.
