Costly Sacrifices - Surface Brief.

I have been sacrificing a lot recently. Funny how it’s not something I’m prepared for but it just ultimately started happening and I understood that a new season is opening in my life. A new chapter.

The first thing I had to give up was ultimately really hard for me because that thing was tied to my ambition. My goals and vision. Ultimately, as ingrained as it was in my mind, I realised how selfish it was. We don’t make wealth by thinking about ourselves. We make wealth by creating value to the general public. My thoughts had to first be conquered for me to see a clearer picture.

There are things that still need to go. There are hours I need to put in and there are hard decisions I need to make. Time has been making most of these decisions for me. As time passes, I come to a new level of clarity that I can only classify as brutal. No one likes the truth because it hurts. However, the truth is what we need. The truth is an amour that can never rust.

There are things I’m aware that are already happening (I can’t go into these details on a public domain) but I am prepared for them. Tears are forming, wears apparent and yet I am not moved. There are things and people that need to leave for my life to take proper shape. Things I’ve been holding on to that I’m now learning to release. It’s not easy.

The sacrifices I have to make are not as grandiose as others or maybe even as significant to them, but they hurt me. They are taking a toll on me but my silence is my strength. When I hide my plans, voices of negativity and “caution” (which is actually fear) do not interfere.

The sacrifices I have been making are barely visible to the human eye and I do not talk about them. There is no profit in that. Just people who think they know and ultimately discourage you. What I can confidently say is I have been making progress.

I have commitments I have been unfaithful to and it hurts. It hurts more when I have no more words to justify myself, not even a sorry. However, I know this lack of order is as a result of the clean up. It’s what happens when we clean even our homes. We first turn it upside down before we prioritise. The message remains the same, “trust the process”.
