It’s normal for your body to try to go against things you don’t want to do,

as that’s just something embedded in our human nature.

It’s too early and I’m exhausted.

my body wants to lay in bed longer,

the urge is too overpowering.

So I hit “snooze” for another 8 minutes.

Then I do it again.

And again,

until my mind yells at me to get up,

and so my body follows.

No matter how many times I do it,

it never gets easier to get up.

Granted,

It doesn’t happen everyday.

That, I’m thankful for.

But in the cycles it does happen,

It’s rough.

The days of exhaustion that follow.

But eventually,

Your body catches up.

You finally rest.

You find your flow again.

You reset.

In a similar way,

I feel that’s what sacrifice is.

We’re ultimately forced to do things that we don’t want to do, for however long.

We want to stay comfortable,

and we might continue to hit “snooze” for a while but we know at some point,

We have no choice.

We have to get up and make it happen.

And sacrifice has a light to it.

You learn resilience,

it strengthens you in such magical way.

Like a superpower.

We do it because we NEED to,

there’s something as risk.

We may owe it to ourselves,

Or we may owe it to others.

Either way, there’s no option but to figure it out.

And we do,

as difficult as it may be.

That’s the beauty of the journey.

Because another thing about sacrifice,

it always come with a reward.

Believe in the beauty of the struggle.
