If you don’t sacrifice you don’t win

Sacrificing is known as being very hard I’m not saying anything surprising, but I still don’t think it’s known how hard it is. Most people don’t sacrifice much and when they do it’s normally some huge even that causes them to do it.

Like when someone eats like shit and won’t change their diet until they have a heart attack. Better late than never as some people don’t change even when their life is on the line.

From the outside, it seems easy for others to sacrifice certain things when you don’t value them yourself, but people do things for real reasons and they can’t quit just like that. In some cases it means changing your life in a way that may make it unrecognisable.

The hardest sacrifices are the ones that are the most important. If you don’t make them you won’t win. People are happy in theory not winning when they don’t have to go through the pain of sacrifice and change.

You can’t have it all

When it comes to the pleasures in life you can’t have it all. I can’t eat all my favourite foods and stay healthy, I can’t have a good career without learning and working hard, I can’t have money without conservative spending, I can’t be fit without working out, and I can’t have friends or family without putting other people before myself.
