In order to get something, you have to give something. All that we do involves an exchange of energies.
There is no such thing as having what you want without making a sacrifice to achieve it. There is no “get rich easy” or spontaneous enlightenment. Material wealth or spiritual awareness are rooted in single-minded action and devotion.
The athlete wins the competition because of years of physical practice. The concert musician wows her audience after years of musical discipline. In order to attain a goal, you must make sacrifices.
