"No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”- Friedrich Nietzsche.

Owning self in a certain amount that will show you truly are in control, attracts some pretty high sum.
If you are not ready to own yourself, you will always have a reason to complain about how someone who owns you treats you.
Pay up and own yourself with pride. The privilege to being in control of your life should mean something to you.
The price to pay to be in control of yourself should never be too much because, the benefit of being you and still in control of you, outweighs the price that you will pay.
Owning yourself is like, taking time out to build your dream so someone doesn't have to pay you to build theirs while you put yours on hold.
If it means anything to you, you will do whatever it takes, including paying the price no matter how high just so you achieve that success that is designed for you.
Choose the path that leads to you so that, no matter how far, long, dark, tiring, hot, unpleasant and unending the road may be, it will mean something at the end because, you did it for yourself.
Do it your way. Pay the price and you will have something to smile about tomorrow.
Remember, You're On Your Own.
