In order to continually succeed in life, you must
be willing to do the things others do not
normally do. Andrew McDonald Without
sacrifice, there can be no success. Its true
that sacrifice can be painful but ultimately the
sacrifices that you make only help to serve to
make you a better person and push you closer
towards success. What you will find in your
journey towards success is that most people want
to gain success BUT they dont want to take part
in making sacrifices necessary to obtain that
success. However, its important to remember that
greatness lies on the other side of making
sacrifices. This year I had to make a huge
sacrifice Id just accepted a permanent IT
position at a global home improvement retailer.
This was my dream job! The company is known for
superior employee relations, benefits were
competitive and my team would be amazing. Easily,
I could see myself retiring from this
company. The week I started I was offered a
contract opportunity at another company that
offered more flexibility, more opportunities for
growth, and better pay.  The permanent position
improved my career opportunities while the
contract position would improve my
entrepreneurship opportunities. What was a person
to do?

Ultimately, I ended up taking the contract
position. I knew that my business ambitions were
more important than my corporate career. It
wasnt easy to have to tell the people that Id
made such a great impression on that I was
leaving. I had to say no to the job of my
dreams and in a sense, let my team down BUT I
knew my decision was best for me and my
business. Sacrifice is not easy If making
decisions and gaining success was easy then guess
what? Wed all be wildly successful and living
our lives to the fullest. Making sacrifices will
cause discomfort and even pain at times. There
will be times when the sacrifices that you have
to make will cause others discomfort. Be prepared
because most of the people around you (no matter
how much you root for them and want them to be
successful) will take every step to avoid
everything that comes with sacrifice. What
sacrifices are you willing to make to master
success in your life?
