THE PRICE OF PLEASURE

Giving up the things that excite us for while for a success that we perceive to be the greater goal is the ideal joy of life.
Life is easy if only you ignore taking the easier path and make action even if it is hard. There is a price that you will have to pay if you are to succeed. Success is basically what you call it because it is only you who gets fulfilled. 

The path to success and true gratification is full of things you have to do as opposed to things you wish to do. Yet at the end of the journey you find fulfillment. The first thing I was ever told about success in life was to follow my passion. But the time I started pursuing my passion, I found out that it was all but work and if I would follow my passion to the ultimate success, sometimes I would have to give up on pleasurable things like sleep.

Giving up the things that excite us for while for a success that we perceive to be the greater goal is the ideal joy of life. It is all like a game, when you are playing a puzzle, you seem to find joy in the little milestone but a sense of true contentment when you are done. Let us take example of a marathon race, very few find it pleasurable to run the miles but they find gratification in the medal. Giving up junk food to remain a supermodel seems worth the cost.


You must learn to set your eyes on the prize, and the walk to the goal will be pleasurable. When slaves begun seeking emancipation they risked everything for the possibility of walking in a free world. Some died but during their fight they set their eyes on their highest attainable goal which was freedom.
