The Price and Promise of Life
Chander Shankar
Making a difference via coaching, mentoring and creating excellence.
Do you know what drives your motivation? When striving to achieve a goal, what sacrifices do you make? Do you resist the temptation to watch that game or your favorite movie? Do you suppress your desires to get things done?
In life, we often face situations where the promise of a better future or a significant outcome demands a price.
Imagine if I asked you to become healthy and fit enough to run a half-marathon in three months and promised you a million dollars upon completion. Wouldn't you be ready? Many of us would turn our lives around for such an outcome.
Our mindset and attitude towards what we can achieve make all the difference. As author Steve Chandler says, our condition is a result of years of conditioning. We are the creators of our life. The future isn't defined yet, but we often think our past dictates our path.
All we need is the promise of a desired future and a willingness to pay the price with honesty, integrity, and discipline. Believe that today is the day that God and the Universe have planned for you to make a promise.
Today is the day you've been waiting for. The bigger the promise, the heavier the price we are willing to pay. Envision a future where you are always relaxed and calm. Believe in the promise of life that you will get what you want, and don't focus on what you don't want.
Everyone pays a price eventually. What are you willing to give to get what you truly want?
