“Count the cost.” I heard that in church this morning, and it stuck with me. Everybody wants the outcome. The scholarship. The starting job. The championship. The opportunity. The dream. But have you counted the cost? Early mornings. Late nights. Missing things your friends are doing. Training when you’re tired. Failing publicly. Being coached hard. Doing the boring work. Stacking days when nobody is watching. Dreams are easy to talk about. The cost is paid when talking stops. If you say you want something badly… Make sure your habits prove you’re willing to pay for it. ⚾️
