Hopefully all of us have dreams and goals in life that are
aligned with what matters most to us.
One way I’ve found to measure my commitment and drive to achieve my
dreams is to ask myself “what have I given up lately?”
Sacrificing something we care about, or like, or want for
something that is even more important is one of the ultimate confirmations that
we are serious about our dreams. As I
reflect on my commitment level to those things I care about most, I can see
times in my life when I’ve given up things I liked to better achieve my
goals. And though the sacrifice was hard
and even sometimes painful at the time, the decision to let go of a few things
in order to obtain what I wanted most was always worth it.
Truly successful people know what they want and are willing
to make sacrifices for it. Those who
can’t let go, struggle to make the real progress they hope to in reaching their
goals and desires. As we analyze our
commitment to our dreams, we should ask ourselves frequently, “what have I
given up lately?” in order to measure our commitment. As we make sacrifices today, we will in time
receive the benefits from doing so as we achieve our wildest dreams.
