Are you ready to pay the price?
In life, it is one thing to have big dreams but it is another thing to be ready to pay the price so that your dream can be visible to everyone's eyes and not just in your heart.
Even though God is willing to help us make our dream come to pass, we must be willing to pay the price by ourselves before everything can work out just fine.

Do we remember the story of Joseph? He still had to pay the price by becoming a slave, to enable him to become what God had shown him concerning his life.
Moving from one realm of our lives to another requires a price every one of us must pay and that is exactly what the strange being we surely hear or watch about in movies do.
Do you remember that strange being we surely watch about in some horror or adventure movies, that strange being that is always known to be in between two realms and called the gatekeeper?
That strange being that whenever someone wants to cross or move from one realm to the other, he permits them even when they do not see his face but only on one condition.
That strange being is most times called the GATEKEEPERS and one of their jobs is to guide both realms from letting intruders walk freely but secondly, if you are willing to make a move to the other realms, you must be ready to pay before you pass.
Nothing comes easy in life, you've got to be ready to face risk if you want to accomplish your dreams because no one is going to take risks for you.

The gatekeeper does not permit anyone who is not ready to pay the price to move from one realm to the other realm. It is either you are paying with a coin, or with blood, if you don't have any, then the permission is not granted.
And such is life, life does not actually care, it doesn't want to know the pains you are going through, what life only cares about is if you are ready to pay the price.
If you are too afraid to invest in your dreams, if you are too afraid to take a step into what you have imagined your life to look like, then no one would.
Why should anybody invest in a dream, your dream when you are afraid to take risks when you are afraid to invest your time, energy, and resources.
If anyone believes in his or her dream, they would go to any length, they would do whatever it takes to make that dream come to reality, so if you are not taking action for your dreams, it means you don't believe and as long as you don't believe, no one will.

So, whenever you've got dreams and you wish people could key into your dreams, ask yourself this big question, "Am I ready to take the risk"?*
Now, your answer determines the amount of effort you will put in and the response you will get from people when they see your effort but if you no your answer is negative, I would advise you to go back and check if it was actually a dream or better still forget you had such dreams because no one invests in a dream the owner is afraid of taking a risk for.
And that is because nobody, I mean nobody will pay your price for you, you pay your price by yourself and with your own coin.
No one will believe in our dreams better than we do, and no one will take a better risk to achieve our dreams better than we can.
If you must see yourself achieve your dreams in life, then you must be ready to pay the price because that's the only thing life cares about.
