Everything costs something. Some things cost more than others… 

Learning has a cost, not knowing costs more. 

Gaining a skill has a cost, not having any skills costs more. 

Trust has a cost, bad relationships cost more. 

Hard has a cost: Effort Now 

Easy has a cost: More Effort Later 

We always have to pay.

It is better to decide what you are getting and choosing what, when and how much you pay.
