Life Prescription/ Sacrifice/Spirit

Awwww the word sacrifice! It creates all kinds of reactions, responses and emotions. When one sacrifices it generally means giving up something for a cause, or for someone else's advantage or even for reaching personal goals. It's a noble and powerful action that can bring about change, profound change!

Sacrifice is the deepest level of love, you are actually giving value to someone or something by giving up something you value. Sometimes the sacrifice is time, sometimes money, sometimes material things , sometimes the giving of self and ultimately the giving of your life are all sacrifices.

Sacrifice is not for the faint at heart, it takes courage, perseverance, patience, long suffering and tenacity. It takes big picture thinking, futuristic results and present day actions. It builds character and discipline. It builds self respect, community and accomplishment.

When applied for the right reasons sacrifice brings healing, contribution, it moves the masses, it elevates ideas, opens doors for personal achievement, discovery and innovation.

Sacrifice is taking the initiative of loving thy neighbor , the audacity to give without the complete knowledge of the long term effect but the hope of something valuable and wonderful is taking place to make it, her, him, me, them better!
