Make sacrifices for your longterm goals from "summary" of Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink
To achieve long-term goals, you must be willing to make sacrifices. This is not negotiable. It is not a suggestion. It is a requirement. If you want to reach the summit, you have to be willing to endure the climb. You have to be willing to push through the pain, the fatigue, the doubt. You have to be willing to give up the comfort of the present moment in exchange for a better future. Sacrifices are not easy. They require discipline. They require the ability to delay gratification, to resist temptation, to stay focused on the bigger picture. Sacrifices mean saying no to distractions, to instant gratification, to shortcuts. Sacrifices mean putting in the work when no one is watching, when no one is cheering you on. Sacrifices mean giving up what is easy in favor of what is right. But sacrifices are worth it. They are the price you pay for success. They are the dues you must pay to achieve greatness. Sacrifices build character. They build resilience. They build strength. They separate the average from the exceptional, the good from the great. Sacrifices are not punishment. They are a gift. They are an opportunity to prove to yourself what you are capable of, to show the world what you are made of. So embrace sacrifices. Embrace the struggle. Embrace the challenge. Embrace the discomfort. Because on the other side of sacrifice is victory. On the other side of sacrifice is success. On the other side of sacrifice is freedom. The freedom to live life on your terms. The freedom to be the best version of yourself. The freedom to achieve your wildest dreams. So make sacrifices. Make them gladly. Make them willingly. Make them knowing that they are the key to unlocking your full potential.
