SACRIFICE- AN ESSENTIAL PRE-REQUISITE FOR A SUCCESSFUL LIFE




According to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, "sacrifice is the fact of giving up something important or valuable to you in order to get or do something that seems more important. It is something you give up in order to get or do something more important or valuable".

Life is not always a bed of roses as they say. Someome acknowledged that at every crossing in the journey of life, one comes across two paths: the one that leads to growth. The path that leads to growth is usually associated with some sort of discomfort. In order to achieve success in life, one needs to bear this discomfort.

Anyone who wants to experience success must learn to pay the necessary SACRIFICES that success requires. A gem cannot be polished with out rubbing. Challenges in life are intended to make our life better and not bitter. Nothing is ever achieved without facing discomfort.

Crosses are the ladders that lead to growth. People who fall for comfort or instant pleasure settle for much less in life. People wanting to lead an easy life set themselves much small targets, and as a result, achieve much smaller success in life.

You need to make a choice today between achieving and failing. Know that nothing good comes very easy. If you actually want success, you must as a matter of fact be ready to pay the price that success requires; you must be ready to tread the rugged road.

All things are difficult before they become easy. "The ladder of success works like any other ladder. Very few have climbed with their hands in their pockets" says Ziglar.
