Achieving Goals

“What you are prepared to do in order to achieve what you want is the only cost involved in achieving that goal.”

The quote means that the "cost" of achieving a goal is not always monetary, but rather the effort, sacrifice, and dedication you are willing to put in. It emphasizes that the real price of success is the amount of commitment you are prepared to invest, and the quality of your choices will determine the outcome. 

• "Cost" as effort: The statement reframes the traditional idea of cost from a financial perspective to an investment of personal effort and time.

• "What you are prepared to do": This refers to the sacrifices you are willing to make, the hard work you're willing to put in, and the resilience you must have when facing obstacles.

• "The only cost involved": This suggests that if you are not willing to put in the required effort, there is no other way to achieve the goal; the willingness to act is the sole determinant of success.
