“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”

 

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

The universe requires balance.  No one gains success, achieves their dreams, accomplishes great things, without sacrifice.  You will lose something in the path to achievement.  Realize this with pragmatism and sober reflection.  Make your choices carefully knowing this truth.  The pain and failures along the way become far more bearable when you understand the cost of attaining your chosen goals.
