.
During the interview, she was talking about a strict diet she was currently on, all fish and vegetables, and explained “You want to be skinny and have a good body? You have to workout every day and say no to certain foods.” When her interviewer commiserates, Shakira shrugs and says “You can’t achieve anything in life without a small amount of sacrifice.”
In this instance Shakira was talking about her body, but it is a sentiment she repeats throughout the interview, and one that I wholeheartedly agree with.
“You can’t achieve anything in life
without a small amount of sacrifice.”
So often people expect achieving their goals and dreams to be easy, requiring the bear minimum of effort on their behalf. But that’s rarely the way it works. Most success, whatever the goal, is the result of constant and continuous effort and a willingness to make these make compromises and small sacrifices along the way.*
Think about the goals you want to achieve and ask your self what small sacrifice or compromise can I make that will take me closer to my dreams. Commit yourself fully and watch your future unfold.
Remember, achieving what you want in life won’t always be easy but it will be worth it!
* If you want to be a pop star with a hot bod, saying no to chocolate will probably seem like a small sacrifice. I am of course much relieved that this is not my goal as saying no to chocolate would be more than I can bear!
