Sacrifice

Through each stage of our personal journey we pick up a new piece to solve the puzzle of life. This piece no matter what it may mean helps us try and complete our personal puzzle for success. Although this puzzle may seem complex, we must understand that as long as we are living, it is impossible for us to complete our puzzle because mental growth never ends. This summer, 2 weeks ago to be exact I discovered a huge piece of my personal puzzle. Like most nights I was kicking it with my boy Hysom Z otherwise known as Freako Suave listening to music cruising, when Dom Kennedy and Currensy's Song "Hennesy Beach" came on, during Dom's verse he spit the line, "going to the pros I'm tired of playing d1.". Now to you this may be nothing more than a simple rhyme but, the way I see it this rhyme means one word, "sacrifice." In order to make the next jump in life toward our goals, we must make sacrifices and rid ourselves of habits that may weigh us down. Not only must we rid ourselves of bad habits, we must learn to work smarter. As many see it hard work is the remedy to success and this is true, but working smart is what separates the good from the great. In a society that places emphasis on being "cool" we must understand cool is not going to make you any money, because at the end of the day were not being judged on how cool we are, we're judged off our performance. In closing make the sacrifices that allow you to perform on a higher level, it may not always feel like the coolest thing to do but in the end your mind should be solely focused on obtaining your goals.
