Give A Little To Get A Lot

I am compelled to sacrifice trivial exploits when I know I have pressing matters to attend to.  I constantly remind myself that there are more important things in need of my time.  I know that once I am done, I can focus on the lighter side of life.  

Significant achievements inspire me to go after even bigger challenges.  When I am working, I create a list of priorities.  I place the greatest importance on the tasks that make the greatest impact.  That way, my successes keep me moving forward.

1. I take time to rejuvenate my mind as I work on my goals.  This re-energizes me so I can take on new tasks with the same fervor.                                                                                   
2. Although there are many things I want for myself, my focus is on the well-being and happiness of my family members.  When I consider the needs of my family, prioritizing is easy.   I know I can return to my own desires after I take care of them.                           
   
3. I feel a great sense of fulfillment when I make sacrifices.  The feeling of satisfaction is incomparable.  When I choose to sacrifice something today, I know it is to allow for a better tomorrow.
   

Understand that sacrifices exist to teach you how to be patient and focused on your higher callings.  The lessons you learn are more profound when you allow yourself to make necessary sacrifices for others.
