How many times before you even look at something are you asking yourself “What or how much is this going to cost me”.  This is just a short post on something I read this morning that has impacted me to the point I had to stop what I was doing and just write this post and the reason was because it impacts so many lives of so many people in today’s world.  But is it really the right question?  Are we really asking ourselves the right questions?

Opportunities pass by our door step so many times and probably 9 out of 10 times we ask ourselves.  OK…how much do they want from me now, or what is this going to cost me, which is so bizarre because that is the only real time we do this to ourselves.  What we really should be asking ourselves is “Where is this going to take me” Sounds a bit strange yeah I thought so…but in actuality you and I do it all the time.  Let me give you just a couple of examples.

You are a guy and your thinking about buying a new car…so you look at cars maybe in magazines, or at lots as you drive to and from different locations…and maybe you find one you want to look closer at…do you know why you want to look closer at that car…easy it because within your mind you have placed yourself in the car…and you see it taking you somewhere; like, by your friends house or your girlfriends house or maybe to work where people reasure you how great you look in that car, or how pretty the car looks and with  you inside you look like a very successful person…and as Emeril Lagasse would say…BAM…your sold and you buy it.

Let’s change things a bit and take it to a smaller degree…you’re a woman who is just walking around the mall kind of window shopping…when suddenly you are stopped in your tracks by nothing more than a pair of shoes…dare I say nothing more than… but at any cost let’s continue.  These particular shoes for most are not necessarily any different than any other pair of shoes but at this moment in time they are extremely important to you.  You go into the store and look closer at them…hold them…touch them…and then your minds starts to take it from there…It’s telling you to try them on…let’s see how they look and feel.  So placing the shoe back you move further into the store finding some help, which is quite easy in this type of store.  The lady comes up to you asking…”Can I help you find anything”  Oh yes I would like to see if you have that shoe in my size”  The lady brings the shoe out you place the shoe on your foot…both to be exact…and you step up to the mirror.  That was all it took because when your inner self sees how good they look, and how hot they make you look and how great your legs look in them it takes things further and it shows you thoughts of how your going to wear these on that special intimate dinner with that special someone and how sexy your going to look, or how when you wear them to work all of the guys are going to be turning their heads to see your shoes, but really it’s your legs, and the women are going to be jealous of you with those shoes…what happens you buy them…the cost is no longer a factor.

You see we do this day in and day out when we see something we don’t ask How or What is this going to cost me”?   Instead you decide where it’s going to take me…but where this happens over and over is when you’re presented with an opportunity.  That is when you ask yourself those doubting questions of how much, or what is it…well you know.  What you should be doing is asking yourself the same things you ask yourself on so many of your other purchases; however this purchase has the ability to change your life…so you should always ask yourself…”Where is this going to take me” That is really what you want to know anyway…so next time you have some opportunity please don’t just start off looking at one with the question of “What or how much is this going to cost me”?  Allow yourself to hold that question and look a bit deeper and ask where is it going to take me?
