Dearest Darling Friends,

When I choose the benefits of an action, I also choose the cost, the inconveniences and the sacrifices.

• If I want to be an author, I can’t just choose the invitations to speak and book signings. I am also choosing months of lonely writing, hitting the writers block and struggling for hours to make the writing amazing.

• If I want to be physically fit, I can’t just choose the fit body, the flow of abundant energy and envious attention. I am also choosing boring meals, sacrificing yummy super tasty food that everyone is enjoying so much and heart breaking calorie counting.

• If I want to be a sucess, I can’t just choose the name, fame, money and adulations. I am also choosing tonnes of hard work, bouncing back from mistakes, sacrificing distractions and navigating innumerable setbacks.

In other words, I HAVE TO want the lifestyle, and not just the results. Otherwise, goals, dreams, desires, won’t make any sense.

The results of success are usually public and highly visible, but the process behind success is often private and hidden from view. It’s easy to want the visible rewards, and difficult to want the hidden costs.

And that is the crucial difference between a life of achievements and a life of regrets.

Wishing you a life of glorious achievements.

Would love to read your thoughts on this. Even a few words would be great.

With love, prayers and best wishes,
