Nothing worth having is easy. So you have to be willing [to sacrifice].

It's important to know what you don't want, but it's vital to know what you DO want.

Every job will demand some sacrifice. The key is to avoid unnecessary sacrifice.

You have to believe so strongly in what you are doing, to be so dedicated to it that you are willing to make the necessary sacrifices.

If we aren't willing to pay a price for our values, if we aren't willing to make some sacrifices in order to realize them, then we should ask ourselves whether we truly believe in them at all.

You have to be open to learning, you have to be open in terms of having the desire to achieve something. You have to be open to sacrifice, bearing in mind that nothing comes easy.

A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.

You can sacrifice yourself, but you cannot take it that your kids will do this.

I think we just had to find a way to balance everything. We should also know that we’re going to make some sacrifices.

"I have already said before that sacrifice is necessary. Without sacrifice, nothing can be attained. But if there is anything in the world that people do not understand it is the idea of sacrifice. They think they have to sacrifice something that they have. For example, I once said that they must sacrifice "faith", "tranquility", or "health." All these words must be taken in quotation marks. In actual fact, they have to sacrifice only what they imagine they have, and which in reality they do not have. They must sacrifice their fantasies. This is difficult for them, very difficult. It is much easier to sacrifice real things.
Another thing that people must give up is their suffering. It is very difficult also to sacrifice one's suffering. A man will renounce any pleasure you like but he will not give up his suffering. Man is made in such a way that he is never so attached to anything as he is to his suffering. And it is necessary to be free from suffering. No one who is not free from suffering, who has not sacrificed his suffering, can work. Nothing can be attained without suffering but at the same time, one must begin by sacrificing suffering. Now, decipher what this means."

Understand and accept that you will have to make sacrifices to achieve your goal. If you are willing to pay the price, however high, you may be surprised what you get in exchange. Pay the price.

Hard work involves a lot of sacrifice at any level. Whether you’re in university, starting a business, or already running a business, you’re always going to have to sacrifice something for the greater gain. The moment you feel comfortable, you’re on your way out. You have to be passionate enough and have enough conviction in what you’re doing.

But I will say this: the more clear I am about what my goals are, the more easily I can say no.

You are going to have to get real with yourself. You are going to have to decide that you love yourself too much to stop settling for less than what you really deserve.
