Why Everything in Life Will Cost

The other day I took my wife and children to the dollar movies to see the movie, "How to Train Your Dragon." It was a very interesting movie about a group of vikings that are seeking to destroy all of the dragons that live in their area. The chief viking has a son named hiccup who has arrived at the age where he must learn how to kill dragons himself. The only thing is that he really doesn't want to. He befriends an injured dragon and helps this dragon to fly and along the way learns that what the vikings know about the dragons is all wrong. He ultimately ends up in a climatic battle at the end and it ends up costing him a lot.

What occurred to me was that there is a cost to everything we do. What keeps that average person from committing crimes is that they are not willing to pay the price of being a criminal. People who become successful in life have to pay the price for success. Sometimes that means being away from your family or missing important events. Everything has a price and we must decide what we are willing to pay. Even doing nothing will cost you in the long run. So we must master the art of figuring out what to pay in order to get the results we want out of life.
