Opportunity cost is when you take one opportunity, that excludes one or more other opportunities.
The opportunity you're not taking is the opportunity cost of the one you are taking.
For instance, if I accept a food delivery order for $9, while I'm running that order, an order offer I would have received for $18, I don't see. So the opportunity cost for taking the lower paying $9 order, is $18-$9=$9, or 100%.
This is why it's important to NOT settle, because if you turn down what you don't really want you make space in your life for what you really do want. The opportunity cost for settling for what you don't really want, is your dreams.
This is why when I was dating, when I realized I didn't want to be with the woman I was on a date with I would kindly reject her quickly, because the opportunity cost of being with someone I didn't want to be with would have been not being with the woman I would want to be with. And that was a dream I wasn't willing to kill.
If you are unwilling to settle for what (or who) you don't want, what you do want can come if in some sense you've ask for it.
On some level, I got my amazing wife annsofinovelist (nprofile…x09m) because I would have rather been single forever than settle for being with a woman I didn't want to be with.
So when Ann-Sofi came along, I had space for her in my life spiritually, emotionally, physically, and economically. And you better believe I seized her off the market extremely rapidly, with God's help.
So, the lesson is, don't settle for less than what you really want, because Heaven is waiting to take it's place in your life if you save it a seat.
