Making The Decision to Sacrifice

Name your long term and short term goals. Do you know what you will need to do in order to achieve them? You may have somewhat of an idea. Now, think of the things that you will CHOOSE to give up in order reach those goals. A little harder, right? Choosing to sacrifice is harder said than done. No one in their right minds would want to give up something that they're accustomed to having, but sometimes we have to do it so that we can get to where we want to be. Everything worth having requires some type of sacrifice, no matter if it's big or small. You have to be prepared to let it go so that you will have room for the new things in your life. There is a reason why on;y a small percentage of people in the world are successful. They realize that sacrifice is not an option. It's a must! You may have to give up time, money, relationships, freedom, sleep, your youth, and even some other aspirations, but in the end it will work out and all be worth it. You can have it all, you just have to be willing to give it your all.

  1. But its not the sacrifices that are a problem. Its the commitment to them thats a problem.
    I decide to put in certain number of hours to study, exercise, wake up early, etc. But after 3-4 days I may wake up late 1 day, study less so skip on exercise and the cascade of events continues making me sleep late which in turn will make me wake up late the next day.
    I am really motivated by what you have written. I get pumped up but then i get immune to it later on and get back to my same routine. How do you advise to break that and make permanent lasting change?

  2. The answer to that question is in tomorrow's post. It's on motivation.
