The Cost of Achieving Your Goals
In life, you can have anything, but not everything. Your time and energy is constrained, hence, to achieve new skills or goals, you got to focus on something, which in turn always means letting go of something else.
While it’s not a monetary cost, it’s an opportunity cost you got to pay.
Everything comes at a cost.
Before you decide what you like to achieve, learn or go after, understand that cost in terms of effort, time and commitment and be ready to pay the price.
“The opportunity cost of an unlived dream is not only that dream, but also the dreams the dream was meant to inspire.”
If you have too many good options aligned, congrats, you’re suffering a “luxury problem”: Choose to go after the lowest hanging fruit first and take it from there.
Take it step by step.
In life it’s like building a pyramid, build a strong foundation first before you reach for the higher levels, so it’ll be sustainable.
