I don’t think there anything good that can happen without us letting go of something.
A farmer wants to get corn he takes the very own corn grains that he has and put it in the ground, the grain decays and bring back something much more than what he planted. He has sacrificed the little he has and it produced something bigger.
An investors want money, he takes the very little money he had and invest in a stock, he has made a sacrifice and he is expecting a return.
I don’t think it’s necessary for me to continue giving scenarios of how one need to sacrifice to get better things in life.
Almost everyone has a dream, and we all want to accomplish that dream but are we ready to make sacrifices?
A young man who just entered the university proposed in his heart to make a first class honor from the university but yet never attends lecture, rarely opens his books, party all night. What kind of sacrifice is this young man making?
Well, I see this young man making sacrifices for failure.
We can even see that not even only good things require sacrifices, bad things also require sacrifices.
Now there is another question, when should we sacrifice?
The farmer that planted corn grain, wanted more corn grain and the investor that invested, wanted more money. I believe the message is clear, when you want to sacrifice anything, sacrifice it for something bigger.
Many people might feel that they actually don’t sacrifice for what is less than what they get but I will bring your mind to a particular sacrifice that most people make that don’t worth it.
The sacrifice made for money
I have seen countless people sacrifice their dignity, integrity, honor, life, people, friends, family, and many more because of money. It’s sad that a whole lot of problems in this world are caused because people want to make money.
We know of scammers who constantly inflict pain on this victim because of money. Are humans worth less than money?
You might say no.
We can easily lie with our mouth but what we do of our own accord don’t tell lies.
Anytime you put getting money above any human, it means you value money more than the person
The sacrifice for fame
Many people hurt themselves because they want to get attention from the public.
Are you worth less than attention? If no, then why do you sacrifice your peace for it?
Others would say a lot of bad things against a fellow to gain attention of the public.
Is the person worth less that the attention you want to get? If no, why do you make someone feel bad just so you others can feel good about you?
I hope anyone in this category of people reading this would change and become a better person.
what should we sacrifice for?
We should make sacrifices for one another, why?
Because we are just what we have! Nothing else in this world matter more than the lives of you and your fellow humans, If you don’t sacrifice for one another, what other things worth our sacrifice?

Such an interesting and thought provoking read and I totally agree and whether we call them sacrifices or life choices they need to be done to get where we want to in life

Thank you for always @tattoodjay
Yes, you are correct we need to make sacrifices to keep moving forward
👍🙂👍
Sacrifices are needed to forge ahead in life, however, we must make sure that we sacrifice for the right things and for right reasons.

You can't get to the top without making sacrifices.. Just as we always say, you use money to find money... You wil have to sacrifice some money to make money..
Now apart from the genuine sacrifices people make, some people go as far as making bad sacrifices just for fame and money which isn't right. No matter how much you want to make money, you should go sacrificing humans for that to happen...
Irrespective of what we want to sacrifice, let our sacrifices not be anything that would stain our soul.

as a social creature making some sacrifice toward one another can be really helpful, and needed as we might also need some help inthe other time
I think if everyone's justification is sane, they can sacrifice for anything they want. Whether they want to sacrifice their fellow human for money or fame.... No way, I didn't say that, did I? That's my twin talking.. hehehehe
However, you are right about sacrificing for ourselves instead of money. People are the most important thing in life, money is secondary.
I agree whole heartedly.. I myself know that a price is need to be paid in order to achieve anything in life.
The only lines that seems blurred to me is "what is too much sacrifice and what is too less."
