Everyone focuses on the sacrifices you make by going after what you want. We should instead focus on the sacrifices you make by standing still, by not going after what you know you are owed, by giving up and taking the smaller version of your life.
The sacrifice doesn’t just take courage, it takes faith. Saying I will withstand this pain, this hurt, this effort is worth it, knowing what I want is waiting on the other side. It’s scary to sacrifice something. But you’re sacrificing something more by sitting in that fear.
