Opportunity Cost

Opportunity cost- the cost of anything is every other option
            Opportunity cost is a idea that can be difficult but if you understand it you may find that you have much more freedom than you thought. The price on a bottled water at the grocery store says $1.00, what does it cost? You will have to spend a dollar to purchase it but the real cost is anything else you could have spent your money on. I could start to list out other things you could have spent your money on but the list is infinite. So if you are trying to sell something you aren't just competing with whoever is selling the same thing as you. You are competing with any other option the person has.
            This works when we're not talking about money, it works for everything including time. Anything you do with your time cost you anything else you could have done with it. Anyone that you are with cost you everyone else. I started thinking this way and was immediately disappointed. I felt like I had made bad choices, I had. The sooner you start thinking about opportunity cost the quicker you can start to own your life. When you chose something it is what you really what more than anything else. So it can make life brighter, every day can taste better. When I choose a band to listen to I feel good because I know that band  is who I would rather listen to than any other band at that moment. I have been able to take ownership over my choices, ownership over my life. So at this moment there is nothing more important to me than trying to explain this to you. If you are reading it, thank you. I am honored to have this writing be more important than anything else you could have done at this moment.

*I am constantly thinking about this and the clock is always ticking. Clear goals are very important in this game of life.
