Sacrifice is something that you do every day. You make decisions around two or more choices by weighing various things up.

The decision you make should probably be based on what you consider to be the more important issue in the long run. But is that always the case?

Sometimes a lot of consideration isn’t needed as it’s clear what is important. Your values help you make decisions, at times, very quickly, about which way to go.

When life throws a curve ball, obstacle or difficult situation your way it always clarifies what your values are, who or what is important to you.

Money is another thing that people either hold close to themselves; willing offer it to help family or friends out or generously give it away by sacrificing it for what’s more important – medical research that can help people on a global level.

Once you prioritise what’s most important to you then sacrificing doesn’t seem like a big issue as you don’t feel like you are sacrificing anything.

However, there are times when decisions are difficult because it seems easier to go with whatever is happening now rather than considering long-term consequences.
