Sacrificing for a goal is tangible, and is 100% within your control. Simply put, it’s all on you. There is nothing or no one else to blame if you aren’t willing to make sacrifices for a goal.
Knowing this doesn’t make sacrificing for a goal easier, it just puts it into context. What’s more, the quote below puts this context into further perspective with a simple ultimatum for those who are unmotivated to sacrifice for a goal:
Sacrifice is giving up something that matters for something that matters more
Given that, if you aren’t willing to make sacrifices to achieve a goal, then that goal is not as important as the thing you want to sacrifice. Therefore, you have two choices:
1) change the goal to something that matters more, or
2) change the sacrifice to something that matters less.
