Have What You Want

What if I told you that you could have anything that you wanted? Would I capture your attention?

Here is the deal. You can have anything you want, but you need to know one thing and you have to be able to and desire to do the second thing. You ready? This epiphany hit me while flying over the grand canyon today in route to Chicago.

First, if there is something that you really want that you can articulate. It does not matter what it is. It could be to build a colony on Mars or to be the greatest author ever to walk the Earth, it could even be the creator of a new world. Does not matter how ambitious it is, a millionaire, a billionaire, whatever. If you can articulate it, then you can have it. However, the first thing that is required is that you have to know the price. In order to get something you have to know the price tag. If you do not know the price and you have to ask someone else, then forget it. The only people that are even capable of achieving something are the people that know the price tag. So you want to be awesome? Do you know what the cost is?

Second, if you really do know the price tag the second thing is this. You have to be willing to pay it. You can effectively have anything in the Universe if you know and are able and willing to pay the price. What separates the non successful from the successful is almost always their willingness to pay the price. Let me tell you this, first hand experience talking here, nothing of greatness comes cheap. Great achievements are ALWAYS expensive. The price tag is going to be hefty, and I am not talking about money here. I am talking about you are going to have to give to obtain the great thing that you seek.
