Article: Settling vs. Sacrificing
By: Khama Anku
There is a HUGE difference between settling and lowering your standards in life vs. sacrificing for a temporary moment, to eventually catapult yourself to a higher level a little bit down the line.
I
have been coming across way too many people who think that the two are
one in the same. Nothing could be farther from the truth:
Definition of Settling:
1) a gradual sinking to a lower level
2) to sink gradually or to the bottom
Definition of Sacrifice:
1) destruction or surrender of something for the sake of something else
2) to give up in favor of a higher or more imperative object or duty
3) to destroy, surrender, or suffer to be lost, for the sake of obtaining something
As you can see, when you settle - you end up at a lower level than when you started.
But when you sacrifice - you end up with something better!
You may have to give up, destroy or put off something you want NOW -
but you are doing so because you are willing to let it go to have
something BETTER LATER.
Many
people thank me for being so candid about the early days of Spiritual
Physique. I feel it is my obligation to let people know, to provide a
source of encouragement.
When you settle - it's coming from a place of low-self esteem and lack of self-respect.
When you sacrifice - it's coming from a place of high self-esteem and self-respect.
When you settle - it's coming from a place of fear!
When you sacrifice - it's coming from a place of faith!
Don't allow the world to confuse you with the difference between settling and sacrificing!
If you know in your heart, you are making a decision to let something
go or put something on hold for the sake of gaining something BETTER in
the future - DO IT!
If you need to sacrifice now to provide a better future for yourself and your family - GO FOR IT!
Don't worry about what other people might say or think - it's your life, not theirs.
When I decided to take my business to the next level so that I could do it full-time from home, I made the choice to make some sacrifices. And I am so happy I did!
I
did everything from eat beans and rice for months to clean houses for
extra cash so I could invest into myself and my business. Because I did
that - I'm living my dream. I work from home, full-time - doing what I
LOVE. And my life and business are SKYROCKETING!
If you are ready to go to the next level, don't be ashamed to make some sacrifices . You aren't settling!
I love you and I encourage you to sacrifice now - so you can soar later!
