#7 Never sacrifice who you are just because someone has a problem with it

“Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else.” 
― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

Sacrifice isn't as simple as it sounds. It takes a lot of courage, patience and will, and it definitely doesn't come easy. It's not every single day we're so willing to do something that we hope we didn't want to do, but when we ask ourselves for the second time, we know it's the right/best thing to do, especially if it's for our loved one(s). Or even for a stranger that probably needs our help or deserve something more than us. Sacrifice isn't something that should be forced but it's more about by our own personal beliefs/wants. The level of sacrifice vary with the people around you; the more the person means to you, the more you're willing to risk just so much for them. The reason is you feel so much more affected by them because the relationship between could only go sky high. But sacrificing for someone should be done sincerely because with that sincerity, then both parties could feel the impact of the action.
It also means risking part of ourselves for someone who deserves it more than we do. Time, in my opinion, over anything else, is pretty much the one that people usually sacrifice a whole lot for someone. It got me thinking, how one could actually go just so far for the other, to make time for them. I mean it's not as easy at all. So much effort being put into, just to sacrifice time for someone important. I bet all of us have gone or is going through this phase, such is life.

As sweet as one would sacrifice so much for the other, at the end of the day the response could either be a make or break. So what I'm trying to say is, it doesn't hurt to go a mile further for your loved one(s). Show them that you appreciate their presence around them, always remember to remind them that they're important to you and lastly, sacrifice sincerely and don't expect anything in return.

Risk sacrificing so at least you know you've tried even though it doesn't turn out great or
 regret not sacrificing and live with full of guilt knowing you should have just done it anyway.
