Monday, June 27, 2022 –The vocabulary ‘Sacrifice’ is not a new word in the dictionary. Even in the Bible, Abraham had to sacrifice his son at some point. Whether he finally sacrificed or not that is a story for another day.

Essentially, there is no gain without pain. Those who are ready to endure pain and for a long time will be the one to move next step. That has never changed, anyway. In fact, if it was easy, everybody would be driving an Audi on the road.

To make it in life, one has to practice opportunity coasting; there are things you will have to forgo to acquire the other. There has never been any two ways about it.

According to business experts around the world, every successful entrepreneur must have sacrificed something to build their wealth. It does not just take a one day sacrifice; this could run into years or even decades. It has never be a journey for the fainthearted.

So what are some of the things a person has to sacrifice to be able to make it in life? Top on this list is identity. You could have taken years or born with a certain identity call it personality or trait, but it comes a time when this has to be compromised to be able to achieve something else.

Always be ready to change according to the situation so that opportunities don’t slip through your fingers and in between your two legs.

Secondly, you just have to sacrifice sleep. There is a common saying that goes, “if your blanket is warmer today, your future will be even colder”. We can’t overemphasize this. Some truth of course.

Sleep few hours. A man who is on a mission and in war with poverty cannot afford to sleep more than five hours. For instance, how does a man start sleeping at 9 or 10PM?

Lastly, sacrifice soft life. You could be employed and earning some salary but that does not give you a license to spend it on women and booze. Sacrifice this good life today for a better tomorrow.
