A short reflection on sacrifice...and one of the best advices I have heard.

Are we really willing to sacrifice ourselves to do what we love to do? Are we really going to be whoever we want to be if we don't do anything to start being that person?
 "3Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules."
2 Timothy 2:3-5 (ESV)
These verses explain my point. You can apply this to every aspect in life; you can even "translate" it literally to the person you want to be. I'm not trying to imply something you should do, but just take a moment and think about this.
Based on a reflection my dad gave me tonight. At first it seemed dumb to me but it got me thinking after a little while and now I think it's a great reflection.
