The promise of the future is not free. There is a price to be paid for any future reward. The price the future exacts from us involves <b>discipline</b>, <b>labor</b>, <b>consistency</b> and a burning desire to make the future better than either the past or the present. Those are the price tags of progress, but the price gets easy when the promise becomes clear. <b>When the end becomes attractive, we become keenly interested in the means.</b> We must see and want the promise with an insatiable desire, or the price it requires will overcome our wishes, and we will fall back to where we once were.
