The Currency Of Desire

It makes no sense for us to resent the price of what we want. Instead, we must decide whether we are willing to pay for it or not.

This makes obvious sense in the context of material possessions. However, the same applies to goals we set for ourselves: are we willing to pay in time and effort, or not?

The higher the ambition, the higher the price. The higher the price, the more difficult it will be to achieve it, but don't let that detract you from chasing it. The fact that something is difficult proves that it's worth pursuing.

“We know little, but that we must trust in what is difficult is a certainty that will never abandon us… that something is difficult must be one more reason for us to do it.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke
