Everything has a price. Price may not be always in monetary sense. It can be anything. If I want something, I may need to spend time to achieve that. The price of achieving that something is time. If I am a workaholic and neglect my loved ones, then the price of achieving a career is the quality of the relationships with my loved ones. Whatever I do, there is a price.

Since I aspire to be rich, I always wonder what is the price of becoming rich? I also wonder why so many people aspire to be rich but yet so few of them actually achieve it? And I found the answer after reading the Guide To Becoming Rich Without Cutting Up Your Credit Cards by Robert Kiyosaki. The answer is that not everyone is willing to pay the price of becoming rich.

That is the reason why not everyone who aspires to become rich actually succeeded to be rich.

For example, I want to have a great body. So I sign up for a lot of seminars and courses to gain a great body. I even hire a personal trainer. He comes out with a three months training program that is customized for me. All I need to do is to following the training program strictly without a failure. According to my training program, there will be hours of workout at the gym daily.

Also, I need to stick to my diet strictly too. To have a great body at the end of the training program, I need to do a lot of workout and control my diet. That is exactly where the problems will begin. I will start to find excuses for myself. Firstly, I am feeling so tired after work, where can I find the time to do workout. Secondly, I like to have the freedom to enjoy great foods.

I do not want to be restricted by my diet. Thirdly, I do not know how to do the workout by myself. I need my coach to be around to hand held me. But he is not always around. Next, someone has better advantages than me, which is why he can do it while I cannot. And the list of excuses goes on.

All these excuses simply justify one and only one reason. The reason is that I refuse to pay the price for getting a great body. It is like I want a great body but I do not want to do workout and control my diet. I want a great body instantly without any hard work!

If I am willing to pay the price of getting a great body, then I will find ways and means to overcome my obstacles. Instead of focusing on creating the list of excuses why I cannot do it, I should be focusing on how to go about overcoming my obstacles and doing it.

So what if I am at a disadvantage? Can I work in other areas to cover for my disadvantage? So what if I am tired after work? If I truly desire a great body, then I will find time to do workout by reducing my relaxation time. For every obstacle, there is definitely a way to overcome or workaround it if I think hard enough.

As long as I am consistent in my effort, I will definitely make progress. Though I may be slower than someone else, the fact remains that I am making progress! I need not try to beat someone who is better. I need not be envious of someone who is better. This is because each one of us is born with different strengths and weaknesses. Also, each one of us has different problems and issues to deal with in life. No one is the same.

The main challenge in my life is always myself. It is never about other people. If my life is simply about beating someone who is better, what will happen if there is no one better than me one day? Does it mean that I will not try to improve myself since I am the best?

That is why I respect people who are able to become rich honestly by virtuaeof their hard works and struggle. They have paid the price for becoming rich. They have contributed consistent efforts to their dreams over years. They have challenged themselves to higher standards so that they improved. They have struggled to overcome obstacles and learn from mistakes.

They have to face the discomfort of financial insecurity while trying to build their businesses and wealth. After all the hard works and struggles, they finally realize their dreams of becoming rich. That is why I feel that they deserved to become rich.

In conclusion, as mentioned in Rich Dad’s series by Robert Kiyosaki, the only way to become rich is by paying the price of becoming rich. Are you ready to pay the price of becoming rich?

If yes, go ahead and settle down for one thing whose price you are ready to pay right away and progress ahead in life !
