The price of anything is never the real issue. For anyone. But when you contrast price versus the amount in your bank account it magically changes. For some people. Price is perspective.
You price your goods or services according to your perspective or how others will perceive it, whether or not they will find it valuable. Your perspective determines your purchases. Things are expensive or inexpensive depending on your perspective, which includes: your upbringing, your career, your goals, your mood, etc… I say your mood because you may be in the mood for something and be willing to pay more than it is worth to have it immediately (buying with credit is how this idea is commonly used).
Catch yourself next time you ask “How much?” instead ask “How can I afford that?”. Price can now be a motivator. Everything has a price. Sometimes we dont see a ‘price tag’ and we end up paying alot more for something than we hoped too. Look for the ‘price tag’ on the things, choices, or opportunities in your life. With every ‘price tag’ there is an accompanying ‘cost tag’. This is an example of the seen and the unseen. We are sometimes quick to calculate the price, but not so quick to count the cost. We make many decisions based on price alone. Our decisions will bring better results as we look past price and focus on the cost. Stay tuned…
