Sacrifice

This week we celebrated Memorial Day and honored those people that have protected our country.  Thank you to every single person and their families!  The sacrifices are more than most of us will ever know.

Sacrifice is a pretty hard word to swallow.  It evokes some pretty strong emotions of loss, grief and pain.  We feel helpless in being able to avoid the sacrifices that have been made.  
​
But sacrifice can be a good thing!  The reason people sacrifice something is because there is a higher goal.  A  step towards a vision of a greater good.  A belief that there is something bigger than themselves.  Something worth striving for.   It's the action behind the question of "what do you want?".  

It's hard to give something up.  It's hard to do the work.  And it's hard to see it through to fruition.  But whether it's cleaning out your closet, getting rid of those tools you never use or giving up that bad habit, you have to make a change.

What is it that you want?  And what are you willing to sacrifice for it?

To your most peaceful self.
