There are many people who say they have a Dream.
A Goal.
Something they are Striving For.
We also live in a world that Pushes us to have these things, even when we do not Understand what the "Cost" is to Attain Them.
Which brings me to a Question...
What Sacrifices Will You Make For The Dream To Come True?
Now, be careful...
I'm not asking this to get a Simple Reply.
If you say, "Everything", then You Fundamentally Misunderstand the Question.
Now, do All Dreams and Goals have some form of Sacrifice Involved?
Yes.
This is a part of Life.
If We Truly Want Something...
There will be things We Must Do to Attain Success...
As well as things We Must Sacrifice To Attain that Success.
We must be Realistic and Understanding about the Process.
I find that Most People have these Idealistic Visions of what Chasing Success Looks Like.
Romanticized.
Filled with Completely False Beliefs, often Fed to Us by Individuals who want us to Feel "Less Than"...
Usually to Push Us into Buying Something from them.
So if you say "Everything"...
Are you Willing to Sacrifice Morals?
Your Authenticity?
Your Humanity?
Your Soul?
I Truly Hope Not.
Sacrificing these things Do Not Truly make you Successful.
Some parts of our Lives Should Never be Sacrificed.
We also should Not be Sacrificing the Health and Wellness of Others.
This is part of the Fundamental Reason for Zombie Businesses in the Rot Economy.
Sadly, some People "Are" Willing to Sacrifice Both Their Humanity and Others' Humanity.
This is One End of the Extreme that we See with this Question.
However, there is Another Extreme Too.
All Dreams and Success "Do" Have "Some" Sacrifices You Will Need to Make.
You're Not Going to Attain What You Want Doing "Whatever" You Want.
The Classic Example Here is the Desire to "Look like a Model".
Do you Know what is "Actually" Entailed to "Get" Those Looks?
The Food Choices that Have to be Made?
The Level of Physical Activity Required?
The Amount of Starvation Required to "Get" that Look for Photo Sessions?
Oh, you did not know?
Models Do Not "Have" those looks 24/7.
The Methods they have to Endure to Attain those Looks are Completely Unhealthy and Physically Demanding, and they are Completely Unsustainable for Long Periods of Time.
Models have to go through "Cycles" to get those Appearances...
Plus, they often need help from Photo Editing Tools "As Well".
Not only do they have a Physical Demand that is Grueling and often More Difficult than Pro Athletes...
But they have to do some Incredibly Unnatural things to their Bodies, which often have a Horrible Price Later in Life.
Physical Prices they are Un..able to Recover From.
Ever.
Yes, they have those Looks Today, but the Demands are so Toxic that they Destroy their Bodies Permanently.
Is that a Sacrifice you "Truly" want to make?
So often, we Go into a Dream or Goal "Thinking" it will be Easy or Simple.
Yet, it Rarely Is.
There is a Reason that Most Entrepreneurs Fail.
Building a Business Requires Sacrifices.
Sacrifices of Time.
Energy.
Money.
Not "One Time" Sacrifices Either.
Continual Costs and Sacrifices that have to be Made Again and Again.
Perhaps Not "Every" Day.
But More Often than We Realize.
Sacrifice.
I made Writing a "Top" Priority.
I'm making a Sacrifice Right Now.
I am Writing this at the Sacrifice of Sleep.
The Rest of My Day is Booked Up as I am on a Trip with Family and Friends.
I was Up Late to Spend Time with People I Care About.
I also Got Up Earlier than Everyone, on 3 Hours of Sleep, because I am Fairly Certain I will Not have Time Later Today.
Do I have to Sacrifice Sleep "All" the Time?
Of Course Not.
But there are some days where I have to Choose between a Full Night Sleep and the Success I Seek.
It is Not a Sacrifice I have to Make "Every" Night, and it Should Not Be as Humans "Do" Need Sleep.
We are Adaptable, and can make Sacrifices Here and There to Sleep.
But there are Some Needs We Have.
The Path to Success in Any Endeavor will have Some Sacrifices.
You should be Careful of Knowing Which Sacrifices You "Are" Willing to Make, and which You "Refuse" to Make.
Which Sacrifices are "Short-Term" and which have "Long-Term" Consequences.
You Will Sacrifice Something in Your Life.
It may be Some Sleep, here and there.
It may be Certain Foods or Activities.
Or it May be The Dream Itself.
Perhaps Sacrificing an Old Dream for a New Better Dream.
Just Understand What Sacrifices You're Willing to Make.
