On Sacrifice
A lot of people, especially when starting out on a plan for creating wealth, think of the effort as a sort of sacrifice. The idea of sacrificing is what keeps a lot of people from working to build wealth, so let’s talk about that a little.
The Irony Of Wealth Sacrifice
It seems a little ironic that you would have to sacrifice to build wealth, especially considering the Law of Attraction wherein wealth attracts wealth. That’s understandable but it’s also just plain life. Our lives are so jam-packed with things to do, obligations and commitments to others and to paid slavery jobs, that there seems like there is no room for anything else, even if it is something of great benefit to us (like creating wealth) that will allow us to free our time and take control of our lives (like wealth creation).
Part of the reason that it seems so ironic and difficult to commit to is that we think of this in slightly incorrect terms; when you work to build wealth, even if you give up some of your ‘spare’ time or ‘free’ money, you are not really sacrificing it (as in, it is not dead or gone to you), you are simply changing and exchanging it for something else—something that is actually far better and with much better potential for you.
Truth In Perspective
Sacrificing has a very negative connotation, and for good reason. What you are doing as you build wealth is not sacrificing a life that is working for you, you are giving up something that isn’t for something that is better; that something is also the one thing that makes your best, truest life possible. When you think of it that way, that hardly sounds like a sacrifice anymore, now does it? Considered in its real perspective, wealth creation, even at a ‘cost’, is a much more attractive undertaking!
