Sacrifice

"The important thing is to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."
Charles Dubois

Do you think that you could sacrifice what you are? Most of us have a lot of difficulty imagining ourselves as different from what we already are. Our ego does everything it can to keep us the same, because it knows that if we sacrifice what we are it means sacrificing the ego. Our ego is terrified of death. That is why we argue with people over stupid little things even if it means that we will be miserable afterwards. We would rather be right than be happy. That is also why we get jealous of people who have more than us. Our ego can't stand the idea of anyone else being better than us.

So what could you become? What would you like to become? If we could sacrifice what we are, that opens the door to change. And there are no restrictions on who we could change into, just as long as we beleive that it is possible. We can be anyone we want, as long as we have faith that we can be that way. Think of the possibilities. What character traits have you always admired in others and wished you could be like that too. You can be like that too; just as long as you beleive that you can change, just as long as you can sacrifice what you are for what you could become.
