“You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do”

Simplified Meaning:
Every action or decision you make in life has consequences, both good and bad. Similarly, not taking action or deciding to stay still also comes with its own set of consequences. Imagine you have a big exam coming up. If you decide to study hard, you might get tired and miss out on fun activities, but you'll likely do well on the exam. If you choose not to study, you may enjoy your free time now, but you might perform poorly and regret it later. This idea helps us understand that we need to think carefully about our choices because every path we take or avoid has its costs and benefits. It's important to be aware that no matter what, you're always "paying a price," so make sure your choices align with your long-term goals and values.
