I find myself in a peculiar place in life. I need to write and process my thoughts. It dawns on me that the concept of cost, which I often associate with monetary value, extends beyond financial considerations.

Normally, when I think about cost, I focus on how much something will financially impact me. I ponder the expenses, the price to pay for actions or purchases. But today, for the first time, I find myself contemplating a different kind of cost—the cost of not taking action. I begin to question what it will cost me if I don’t make a move.

Strangely, what I don’t do often costs me more than what I do. Despite the demands on my finances, bills, mortgages, etc. I made a payment for a summer class I’m taking. On the surface, it may not seem like a wise choice, given my current circumstances. However, I start considering the potential cost of inaction.

What will be the consequences if I don’t push forward? If I don’t invest in myself and my education? As I reflect on my past. Years ago, when faced with adversity, I didn’t know the significance of persisting. I simply kept going, and that propelled me to where I am today. Had I quit then, I wouldn’t have arrived at this point in my life.

So, I ask myself, where would I end up if I give up now? I don’t want to discover the answer. Instead, I want to see the promises that God has made to me, materialize. I place my trust in Him, in the path He has laid out for me. I won’t allow appearances to dampen my faith.

As I contemplate my future and the life I desire, I realize I cannot ignore the significance of education. How could I not decide to invest in my education when it aligns with the promises God has made to me? I ponder the potential cost of not taking this step. I want to witness the manifestation of God’s promises in my life, and I trust in His plans for me.

Completing my MBA degree is part of His perfect will, and it also provides an opportunity for me to gain financial wisdom and prosper. Although this particular class is a repeat for me, I am determined not to back down. Mentally, I am in a better place now, and I refuse to let my past hinder my progress. I choose to move forward with unwavering determination.

I recognize that progress often comes with a cost. It extends beyond monetary considerations and delves into the realm of personal growth and development. I embrace this understanding and commit to embracing the cost of progress. I refuse to let fear or uncertainty hold me back from the life that awaits me. Moving forward is my only option, and I am excited to see what lies ahead on this journey of self-improvement and fulfillment.
