The Reason You Sacrifice

The Reason You Sacrifice

No matter how much discipline you have, at some point, you’re going to run out of steam. You decide the goal isn’t worth the sacrifice because, frankly, you don’t feel you’re worth the effort.

But then you remember: the life that matters is not just about you. In the same light, you are not just about you. You are meant for more than yourself.

There’s your motivation. You discipline yourself so that others will benefit from your existence on this planet. They will benefit from your good character and your good choices. They will want to be better people because of your example. Life generates more life.

What do you want? Will you do whatever it takes to get it? Those who matter to you can become better human beings too if you discipline yourself to make it happen.

“For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.”
—John 17:19
