Do you know that when you always think of a comfortable life will put you in a mode of laziness, lack of knowledge and is complacent in the achievements of life? This, if you don't want to accept sacrifices.
The quote above explains logically that if the weather will always be good, there is no sacrifice and you cannot gain much. But if storms rushed, wind blows and the big waves come, 101% the mind of a sailor will work making plans and ways how to achieve and solve problems that makes you master sailor of the sea. In other words sacrifices will gain you something. From these sacrifices, you can make your decisions positively every time the circumstances come.
Take risk. Do not afraid in divulging, diving and dwelling to the circumstances. Do not be coward in every problem. You must go on. Move on. Don't mind the people around looking at you. Just be yourself. I know there are someone out there who are afraid to take risk.
Sometimes you cannot move yourself to the higher level of life because of this factor------'being shy'. Being shy will cause you to be afraid on expressing emotions, talents, ideas, questions, and it is most likely that you cannot easily understand things because of being ashamed of yourself. Just think of it, you are not alone in that situation. Everyone experienced that moment. So do not be shy! Get out of yourself! Express yourself who you are. Give out until you became master of yourself. Master in communicating others and start making friends.
That is what we call sacrifice. Do things that are beneficial. Do things that harness you.
Sometimes we are making daydreams for our future, gazed a little thought of this, making stories in mind about it in the corner of your world making yourself the actor of those stories you made. Sometimes we think of having a good job in the future and earning a huge money that can sustain you in a comfortable life.
Just remember that:
"THINKING and PLANNING without ACTION is a WISH"
So act and take risk! Be the master of yourself!
