All change has a price

All change has a price.

The reason most people don’t do anything about the problem, is often because there’s no such thing as a simple change that solves or fixes. All change has a price or comes at a cost. And we're certainly not just talking about financial here, but in time, effort, feelings, emotion or stability for instance.

Sometimes what’s being asked is just too much. However, sometimes what we stand to gain if it does come off far outweighs the investment or risk. We can learn the most from our biggest mistakes. Ain't that truth!

'What ifs?' can numb you into submission or they can be a catalyst for something great. You decide. Just depends where your head is at and how you read it in a positive or negative spectrum of thought. And you need both sets of pluses and minuses to make a clear and rationalised decision or to back a strategy and the thinking. But whatever happens – doing nothing achieves nothing. At least if you try you know you gave it a shot.

And if something isn't working, why keep doing the same thing in the same way you've always done it? Yes, persistence is a great skill, but adapting with alternative perspectives can help you make the breakthrough.
