Sacrifices mit Rand.png

On your way to your success, you are going through some sacrifices.
From the beginning of our life, we have to make and are making sacrifices. Without doing them, we couldn't live with other People around us.

I am not talking about some scenarios you see in some Hollywood movies.
Like most of the things in life, it begins small.

As you were young playing with other kids, some of your friends also wanted to play with this beautiful action figure you had. But you don't want to share it; you wanted to have it for yourself. Only for yourself!

You parents were teaching you that you have to share your toys with your friends.

You don't understand why you should share your wonderful Gundam Wing, but you are doing it becasue you parents told you that this is the right way.

You see how your friend is playing with your figure right now and you are upset.

This is a sacrifice. It starts in young ages. The young boy has to sacrifice himself, in this case, to learn that sharing is important. Maybe you see yourself in this little boy?

As we grow up the weight of our sacrifices, get heavier.

And we understand better now what it means to make a sacrifice.

But we all know; to sacrifice something hurts. They are not beautiful; they don't feel comfortable. It's painful, and that's why people are trying to avoid them. Completely understandable.

But on your way to the top, you have to make sacrifices.
Again no Shortcut!

Paying the price.png

You are paying the price to receive something bigger, better and greater in the future.

In my life when I was playing football in my youth I had to make every weekend a sacrifice. When friends of me were making something funny or entertaining like going to the cinema or just chilling around, I had to train or to play in any weather.

So if we want to achieve something bigger we need to make sacrifices at certain times. But this kind of sacrifices is only for us like I said we expect something greater in return For US! And that's its ok and necessary. But now let me tell you this:


I like people who have a vision, that's why I like entrepreneurship. Trying to make the world a bit better.
I read the biography​ of Steve Jobs, and what this man had made happen is extraordinary. Not only him, Elon Musk is also someone who is setting the benchmark on new levels.

I will not say that this two-person did what I am going to say now.

If you are making sacrifices just for you, for your good, then there is nothing special about it.

Exactly! There is nothing special about it.

In the next Post, I will go a bit deeper in it and write​ about that making a sacrifice where only other would profit is something special. Like our little boy did.

great post. You are correct we have to make some sacrifice in order to achieve something.
I think we should always look at things in a positive way,
Sacrifices create opportunities to do something better.
Cheers!

Thanks for your comment.
Yes, you are right. It's beneficial to look positive on that.
Like you said it creates opportunities. But when we are doing them it hurts always in the first moment :)

This is very true. Nicely said about sacrifices!

Upvoted and Resteemed :)

I've known for a long time that need to pay the price for all that is worthwhile! I pray to God for patience! I am waiting for the continuation @modernpastor.

I believe you, ​my dear.
I hope that your​ prayers will be answered soon.

wow, your view point is great, I agree...keep it up

Thank you very much :)

Interesting post @modernpastor. I completely agree, if we want better and bigger things than everyone else, then we will be presented with situations where sacrifice will be required. This distinguishes the genuinely passionate from those who want success without putting anything into it. Look forward to the next part!

I saw a post about you from @flauwy and came to check out your work. Powerful stuff man, love your style. As an only child I really disliked sharing my stuff, I had a real hard time understanding why it is good to share. It all worked out eventually though :) Keep Steemin'. Upvoted and followed.

Thank you my friend.
Yes, @flauwy is really an awesome guy. I was stunned as I saw his post.

I am really happy that you like my stuff. And like I see you can really good imagine the example I​ chose.Can fully understand that it wasn't​ easy for you.

I really appreciate your comment.

I think if there's no love and only selfishness it's difficult to sacrifice.
I sacrifice because I love, I share because that's makes me happy.
I think of others, because I know how it is to have nothing.
Do not expect anything in return when you give, you let go and because you give it with pure LOVE ...

Really nice article again:)

Have a wonderful shiny afternoon:)
Cheers!

What a great and lovely comment.
Thanks for reading and spreading positivity.

Hi Modern Pastor

Could you give me advice on using images? I just downloaded one of your png images and resaved it as a jpg. It went from 264 kb to 67kb. Is there a reason why pngs are better for steemit? I originally had one of my images at about 8-900 kb as a png and it was showing some latency. Now as a jpg it is down to approx 280kb.

ps 'I will not say that this two-person did what I am going to say now.'

better 'these two people did what I am about to share/suggest/describe/explain'?

Hey @tbuyus,

PNG is a better file as jpg in general.
It saves more picture Information. If you want to manipulate pictures I​ would always choose​ png file, because​ the end file has a better quality than​ jpeg. It looks better.

I hope this helps​.

Thanks​ for your suggestion. :) Englisch is my third language that's​ why I​ will happen that it's sometimes not so fluid.

Kein Problem. Vielen Dank fuer deine Tips. Ich Frage mich, ob ich Manche meinen Posts auf Deutsch machen solte. Ware lustig, so lang Zeit ich Deutsch gesprochen habe.

Ohhhh deutsch :)
Das ist cool.

Die Frage habe ich mir auch gestellt, da deutsch meine Muttersprache ist.
Ich habe viel getestet, das empfehle ich jedem. Viel testen und den eigenen Weg finden.

Ich habe mich dazu entschieden auf englisch zu schreiben und ab und zu auf Deutsch.

Wenn du Tipps braust, oder Fragen hast, sind sie sehr willkommen :)
