Account Closed Choose your suffering

"The Real Secret of Success Choose Your Suffering.Everything you want in life; every goal you want to achieve; every dream you want to manifest: all comes with a price tag.Legitimate success in any endeavor requires that you pay upfront, in full and with your own sweat.There is no other way.To achieve any goal, you must choose the suffering that is right for you.Subsequently, you must live with the consequences of that decision.The moment you choose to not continue to pay the price of success, is the moment you choose to suffer the consequences of failure, which is, the WORST kind of suffering.The suffering cost of failure is ALWAYS higher than the suffering price of success.The cost and consequences of success in a job, relationship, career, or any area can cause a monumental amount of disruption and chaos in your life.Here are some examples of the suffering costs of failure:If you lack financial discipline, you will suffer the consequences of debt, harassing bill collectors and sleepless nights.If you do not manage your diet, you will suffer the cost of diabetes and poor fitting clothing.By not keeping your promises or honoring your commitments, you will suffer the loss of reputation and contaminated character.Sooner or later, each of us must choose to pay the price of success or pay the cost of failure.Sooner or later, you will come to the understanding that you MUST choose your suffering.The price of success is often more than people are willing to pay.
