Your Most Important Sacrifice

There's one sacrifice that you cannot escape from making once you decide to follow your dream or your calling. A sacrifice that would determine whether you'd make the journey before you one with joy or immense suffering.

This is especially true if your dreams are outrageously wild and seemingly impossible to others. You'll find that most times you won't even have to wait too long before an opportunity presents itself.

You'll have to face it at one point or the other but either way the sacrifice will be made. Your choice however, will be on whether or not the sacrifice shall benefit you or be your doom.

You'll have to decide who to keep in your trusted circle.

Its been said that you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. Take a close look at the 5 people who you closely associate yourself with and ask yourself this: Do they have my best interests at heart? Would they be there for me if I crashed and fell flat on my face?

The moment you decide to follow your dream and stay true to it you'll begin to notice certain people in your life begin to fall out. These could even be people who you used to hang out with for hours on end but for one reason or another you don't seem to have the connection you used to have.

Now I'm not here to tell you which friendships you should keep, I'm here to enlighten you on the ones worth keeping. And if you do find that it's someone who you truly value as a friend but you've both drifted apart then by all means FIGHT TO HAVE THEM BACK.

But if they're not then here's exactly what you're going to do: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Let them go. It's a hard step forward but a necessary one.

In my opinion it's better to achieve success and celebrate it with the people who remained true to you than to celebrate it with people who you don't trust and worse of all could even suspect.

Save yourself the trouble, pain and effort.

If you know in your heart that this person/people do not have your best interests at heart and do not support whatever you're doing, that's fine.

This will come off as a bit harsh but the truth of the fact is you're better off without their support. Follow your own journey and let them follow theirs. Wish them the best of luck in life and proceed to do what you do best with the people who truly love and support you.

Your life is too short to fill it with people who'll drag you down. You'll have enough troubles to deal with why make your journey even tougher?

You are a light that should not be contaminated. Start seeing yourself as such.
