Sacrifice — A Requirement On The Path To Greatness

Great accomplishments require sacrifices.

To go further in life than where you are right now, you will have to choose to give up some things for the sake of something greater.

To go where you’ve never gone and do what you’ve never done, your life will have to change. If everything remains the same so will your outcome. To reach new heights you’ll have to shed some weight; you’ll have to let go of things along the way. Everything can’t go with you. Changes will have to be made in your habits, your thinking and how you spend your time.

Where you’re going can be seen in what you’re doing everyday. If you don’t like where you’re heading, reevaluate how you’re spending your time. Separate out the essentials and nonessentials of your day. Replace or let go of the recurring nonessential tasks. Chose to spend your time doing activities that result in lasting future fulfillment instead of short-term immediate gratification.

Get off the couch, you can’t afford to spend your time there. There will be parties you will have to miss, events you will have to choose to not go to, TV shows you can’t afford to watch, social media updates you will have to forgo and movies you may have to catch at a later date. There will be budget cuts and difficult decisions you may need to make; along with life luxuries you may have to temporarily let go.

Provisional sacrifices are required for long-term successes.

What do you need to give up? What sacrifices do you need to make to reach your greatness?

The best time to start is right here, right now; today.
