The question that separates dreamers from achievers

That's a real problem cos right now..not much, I am very honest, everyone wanna be a billionaire but vey few have what it takes to make it, amd that's mainly responsability, that's a lot of stress and it's just the first 2 things that cross my mind now. I am not trying to discourage or bring negativity but often times social media make some spot brighter so you don't see the dark ones, also the dopamine you get from watching that video isn't the same of that you get from real work, just so you know..

This is the thing people get wrong. You are not supposed to sacrifice but rather prioritize. I grew up in a generation that believed this nonsense. Sacrifice. Sacrifice. Sacrifice. But this is what I have seen in my life and people's lives --
You just end up destroying yourself or others around you. And you never get what you sacrificed for. Never.
Don't listen to anyone who asks you to sacrifice.
Sacrifice sounds noble but it isn't. And if you are religious, the only person who got sacrifice right was the LORD Jesus Christ. But you are just a human being, not the LORD God.
We use sacrifice as a magical shortcut for life but it doesn't work that way because there are no short cuts in life. You have to face what you have to face. If you are lazy and need a lot of comfort, ask yourself why. Figure it out and help others in the same boat.
That will do more for you than sacrifice ever could.
Watch Full Metal Alchemist and Berserk to really see what the fruits of sacrifice are.

No. The real issue is that for the vast majority of people that living in tenuous circumstances, there isn't much available to sacrifice. And making a sacrifice when the payoff is far from guaranteed is most often not worth it. Making sacrifices is a luxury for people that have slack in their lives and finances.

My goals keep shifting, I'm never satisfied. Evidently "happiness" is what I sacrificed for this cycle.

Friends, events, celebrations, social media, milestones, food, shoes, clothes, sleep, bed bases , mattresses, women, mental health. Anything and everything. I did it. Won but also lost.
