Sacrifice, the price of choice

It's obvious, the more unique and the faster and more profound we want want to be, the greater the sacrifice we need to make.

Being understood and implicit in that, accepted, may only be a slither of the price we pay.

If we want noodles for lunch, not only do we sacrifice eating every other possible food. We also sacrifice doing any other possible thing which we might have done, during the minutes it took to eat our noodles.

With every choice comes ... infinite sacrifice.

It's not making the choice, it's paying the bill that hurts like hell.

And yet!

If we deliberately and intelligently develop and follow our passion, purpose and relevance, we'll find ourselves free in the midst of ridicule [from convention], and from the artificial burden of sacrifice.

And that won't mean guaranteed success, just better odds and a lighter load.
