Sacrifice

Sacrifice is the surrender of something prized or desirable for the sake of something considered as having a higher claim. Sounds fine giving up something you like for something better, but then why is it so hard to do sometimes. Do we really think we can have the thing we like and the thing we'd really like without giving up anything? Or do we just hope that it can happen that way? Sometimes it seems easy to make the choice, we sacrifice sleep to take care of our babies, sacrifice days of fun to work, (of course we do that so we can pay the bills, have a house, and eat), sacrifice dates for family nights, sacrifice sweets for a fitness. The list of things that we give up every day for better things could go on and on. But what about big things, how easy is it to make a life changing decision that will be hard and far from ideal to make life better in a year from now.
It can be hard to see past all the challenges that come with a sacrifice in order to see the thing that will be better, worth giving up the thing you already have and like having.
We can have all we want in life, but sometimes that means have very little of what you want for a short time to get all you want in the end.

“Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.” ― J.M. Barrie

I have dreams and goals in my life that I can have, will get if I wont stand in my own way. I will sacrifice the things I have and enjoy for the things that I will love and want more then what I have now. I will do it not only me but my husband who gives so much to me and my three kids who I would sacrifice everything for.
