The Law Of Sacrifice

What do you think of when you hear words like discipline and sacrifice? Doesn't sound like much fun. And yet, if we want to learn to play a musical instrument, we must have the discipline to practice regularly. If we want a change in our lives, we must do our spiritual work.

Consider that we have to give up (or sacrifice) something to get something else. It might be sacrificing a $5 bill to get our nonfat soy latte, or giving up an old "story" of guilt, shame or victimization, in order to set into our greater life.
