The world we live in is great. We have convenience at the tip of our finger. We live in a world where we expect instant gratification and complete access to the things we want. Think about it for a second, we live in a world where we have one click ordering of almost everything, we have nearly instantaneous food delivery, credit to purchase things we want. All of this is great, but it’s caused the vast majority of us to forget one of the most important things in life.
We’ve forgotten the art of sacrifice.
There’s a problem with this kind of living though. In order to truly accomplish anything in life, real accomplishments. We need to be able to sacrifice pleasure.
Don’t believe me? Think back to something in your life that you accomplished that you were truly excited and happy about. Yea, probably wasn’t ordering a TV from Amazon, or buying a new pair of shoes. Maybe it was saving money all through high school in order to buy that first car that you REALLY wanted. Maybe it was starting a business.
Those moments in life, the ones that you’re truly proud of. They all have something in common: They all REQUIRED sacrifice and delayed gratification. You gave up time, energy, freedom, and maybe even fun in order to achieve what you were looking for.
Being able to sacrifice and delay instant gratification is a skill set, it’s something that needs to be learned. The current world we live in doesn’t teach that to us anymore. It’s made us numb to the importance of sacrifice.
Here’s the thing: Delayed gratification and sacrifice are the keys to getting in shape.
If you can get comfortable with sacrifice, you’ll be able to achieve and single goal you set your mind to.
I understand that most of us don’t want to hear that, and honestly many of you reading this probably don’t believe me at all. It is however, the truth. There is no “one-click fit body” button, that dream body you’re looking for takes nothing but hard work, dedication, commitment and sacrifice. Embrace and grow your ability to sacrifice and you’ll grab hold of all of your big life goals.
