My Sacrifice


"Everybody wants to go to Heaven but Nobody wants to Die" 

What are you willing to do to achieve your dreams? Just exactly how much are you prepared to sacrifice in your pursuit of happiness? When we speak of our goals and dreams we think of all of the great things that will come as a result of ascending to those lofty heights, all the glitz and the glamour.  But often what goes unnoticed is the sacrifice that must be made to achieve all of the greatness we crave.  Nothing can be gained without sacrifice... So how much are you willing to give?  Or what seems to count much more is how much are you willing to give up?  

"The most important thing is this, to be able at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you will become"

Can you do it? Can you leave all that is "you" behind and venture off into that vast land of uncertainty, going out on a limb and embracing the height, embracing the moment?  Having the faith, confidence, or whatever you want to call it to leap, to stand up and say this isn’t happening, nope, not to me.  I WANT MORE and I’m willing to take a step back or even risk falling to get it.  

When you think about it, what are you holding on to? A life that is supremely underwhelming and a career that lacks fulfillment and excitement?  There is no need to have such a tight grip on something that deep down you know you really don’t want.  So let’s let go and be who we choose to be.  Be Great! Be Successful! Be willing to risk it all and bet on the only thing you can depend on, YOU.
