Sacrifice

Regardless of your stance on LeBron, he had a great quote today on his new podcast with JJ Redick, Mind the Game.

“To be great, you have to sacrifice.”

Hearing from someone like LeBron who has sacrificed to acheive greatness really resonated with me. He elaborated a little and got specific about having to sacrifice family. But I think there’s lots of things that we sacrifice on our journey. Sleep, family, money, friends, etc.

As they say, you can’t have your cake and eat it, too. I am all too guilty of trying to have everything perfect. Thinking through every scenario of every decision trying to pick the best one, hindering my progress.

Accepting the fact that we sacrifice as part of journey to greatness alleviates some of the burden we carry.
