Sacrifice

If you want to achieve you got to SACRIFICE. 

We all know that right! We hear business people all the time state that they SACRIFICED sleep, time and finances to build their business.

We hear of sports stars that SACRIFICE  their time, socialising everything to become the best in their in their field.

So the understanding of SACRIFICE is not new to any of us. We all know that to achieve something we might have to give up something.

I want to share something with the world in relation to my kids. I have some beautiful children and I always wanted to be a great father from a early age. Due to my past I was determined not to repeat thing that happen in my life in the life of my kids. 

But there was a major problem I never understood to have a great relationship with my kids was going to take more than a great desire. It was going to take the same action that sports stars, business owners make SACRIFICE. 

My kids want to play with me. "Dad, dad can we play fight", "Dad, dad can we play lego", "Dad, dad can I read to you", "Dad, dad can you come to my play"? 

What was my answer! For years I would give this answer. 

"Later kids, Daddy busy", "Can we play tomorrow" 

Now these responses where plausible, I was busy building a future for my kids. (HOUSE, SECURITY ETC) 

But something began to ring home and hit when my kids said "Your always working", "you never play with us" 

WOW!!!! I realised that what my kids where saying was you never spend time with us. 

Right! Time for change!!!

Unfortunately my life because I have decided to spend time with my kids was not going to get less busy. The difference was going to SACRIFICE. 

Firstly I had stop being SELFISH, it was not about me but about my KIDS

Secondly I realised I had to become dedicated to them (QUANTITY as well as QUALITY) 

Thirdly I had to accept that I had to SACRIFICE what was important to me to want was important to THEM (Kickboxing, lego, doctors and nurses whatever) 

I can say of late my kids get more time with their FATHER and I am reaping the rewards. But it came at a cost but it been worth everything I had to give up. 

So if your prepared to give all to your business, career, make sure that you apply that same SACRIFICIAL mentality to what's really important (FRIENDS, KIDS, WIFE, PARTNER & FAMILY)

Remember "God gift to us is life, what we do with that life is out gift back to God"
