The Truth About Sacrifices: Reframe Them to Change Your Life
You likely hear the phrase, “You have to make sacrifices” often.
I disagree.
You do not need to make sacrifices. Instead, you need to live by your priorities.
Priorities are the things that are important to you. If you’re organized, you’ll know which priorities are most important to you. These are the things that you should focus your attention on.
Lower priorities are things that are nice to have. But they aren’t as important as your higher priorities. Here’s a way that you can structure your daily tasks into priorities. This strategy helps you plan out which tasks you do first, which is especially helpful if you’re a busy person.
Living by your priorities helps you create a life that you want to live. They help you make decisions that are in your best interest, not someone else’s.
This article will clarify what a sacrifice is. And it will tell you why you shouldn’t make sacrifices.
