How To Have The Right Attitude About Sacrifice

In order to have the right attitude about success, you need to understand the importance of sacrifice. Sacrifice is a concept that might seem challenging, but it holds great importance in your life.

Sacrifice means giving up something you want in the short term for something you want in the long term. All high achievers make great sacrifices. If you want to be a high achiever, then you will have to make sacrifices too.

To help you have the right attitude about sacrifice, remember these two laws.

Two Unbreakable Laws About Sacrifice

Unbreakable Law #1: You Have To Give Up To Go Up

If you want to save money you have to give up spending it now. If you want to lose weight you have to give up eating bad food now.

If you want to earn a black belt in jiu jitsu, you have to give up other things that you could be doing so that you can go and train.

This is a basic rule of life and there is no getting around it. If you want to go up in anything, you have to give up something. Talk to any high achiever in anything and you will find that they have made repeated sacrifices to get where they are.

Unbreakable Law#2: The Higher You Want To Go Up, The More You Have To Give Up

The greater the goal the more you have to give up. If you want to lose 10 lbs, that will take some sacrifices. If you want to lose 50 lbs, that will take more sacrifices. The higher you want to go, the more you will have to give up.

An Attitude Of Sacrifice

Having the right attitude towards sacrifice means accepting these rules. There is no success without an attitude of sacrifice. The higher you want to go, the more you will have to give up to get there.
