Great Achievements come from Great Sacrifices
James Allen in his book, As a Man Thinketh, writes, “He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.” P. 42
As a Man Thinketh is available online at gutenberg.org under the Harvard Classics.
NOTE: Think of a time in your life when you achieved something you wanted so badly you could almost taste it. What did you sacrifice to achieve your goal? I felt this way about wanting to earn my doctorate. I had to maintain a full-time job to support my family and so my family and I sacrificed the time we normally spent together so I could achieve my goal. The sacrifice, as it was in my case, is often shared by those who are close to us. When we have a lofty goal, we have to ask ourselves, “How much and what am I willing to sacrifice to achieve this goal.” Great accomplishments come from great sacrifices.
