I’m beginning a new series titled ‘7 words to success’ it’s my belief that implementing these
words in our daily lives and just picking one per day can set the foundation that we can stand
on and achieve great success.
First off success is a journey that should not be walked alone or enjoyed by one. If you are to be
successful lets also figure out how to impact the lives of others as we achieve success, that way
we all win!
Today’s word is:
SACRIFICE!
The definition of the word sacrifice according to the dictionary is:
the surrender or destruction of something prized or desirable for the sake of something considered as having a higher or more pressing claim.
In order for us to get something greater, we must give up something great too… If you got a job and you want to make more
money that might mean giving up a little freedom. If you have a spouse and you want your relationship to grow, that might
mean giving up a little football on tv, in exchange for high quality time with your significant other.
Bottom line is nothing worth having doesn’t come with a price and ultimately some sacrifice has to be made in order to get
something even more important, or of higher value.
I encourage you to read this post and actually write in the comment box below what you’re willing to sacrifice
today so that you can have something better tomorrow. You don’t have to say what it is you’re chasing… Let that be
between you and God but let’s all post what we’re willing to give up to get it on here.
This message I wrote today is as important to you as it is to me. I desperately needed to see this message in print.
I pray that as I walk in my journey of life, that you too can walk with me and together let’s get to where we really
want to go and that’s “The Road of Success”.
God is love, be blessed.
Thank you for yet another inspirational post, Geo! Tomorrow I’m going to sacrifice the extra-long & extended hours of sleep to get some things off my To Do List. As minor as a few hours may be, I’m hoping it’ll pay off in the end
Love you.
Today, I will sacrifice the selfishnes of being alone.
Hey Geo! I love this! I will sacrifice time with my family so I can be more independent and start living my own life.
Thanks!
Today I sacrifice my selfishness and be more family oriented, I love doing things on my own, but I never really try to help others rise to the top with me. If your only as strong as your weakest link, then I will need some re-enforcement!!
Geo,
You are wise beyond your years.

@Val – my dear friend Monte told me that every little bit counts! No matter how small the tasks, just getting off our butts and doing something is a victory, so claim it
@Chrissie – you’re one of the most impressive gals i’ve met in a long time, I’m confident whatever you put your mind to will get done. I’m rooting for you
@Marsha- True family loves unconditionally…Your family will understand that as Marsha grows, they too will enjoy that success.
@Jermaine- individually one can be strong, but we are EVEN stronger united in number. You don’t have to lose yourself in the mix but definitely get the family more involved.
@Steve – I’m a little kid at heart. You should see me around kids. But truly appreciate the words from someone who has lived a respectable life as you have.
Today I will be biting the bullet and Starting my First day back at School
Nice post and cool looking blog brother.
