It takes approximately five minutes to get from my home to my job. I have a small, fuel-efficient car, and driving is a fast, affordable option. If I utilize public transportation, it takes an hour and twenty-nines minutes and the $0.75 bus fare to get to work . If I request an Uber, it takes five minutes and cost $5.65. If I walk, it's free, but it takes twenty minutes.
In each of these scenarios, I start at the same location, my home, and the destination is the same, my job. Rather I take my car, the bus, an Uber, or walk, I can make it to my desired end. Each choice, however, has different energy, time, and resource tolls.
The route you choose can cost you more. In ignorance, foolishness, unpreparedness, hardheadedness, pride, procrastination, naivety, rebellion, etcetera, we often make choices that make the journey more expensive. That's the painful part of growth. Tonight I asked myself the following question.:
"What has it cost you?"
"Analyze your mistakes. You already paid for the tuition, you may as well get the lesson." This isn't just a nice social media sentiment. It's truth. Regardless of how you're travelling; rather it costs you $0.75 or $5.65; if it takes you five minutes or over an hour, make it there. Get to work!
