The word sacrifice is so popular even more than the person that discovered the word but the truth still remains that it is grousely misunderstood by many. Especially in our time it is very difficult to see someone who just does things without expecting anything in return but all claim to be very sacrificial.

In another way some people stay away from sacrificing much for others and are termed to be selfish and self centered because of previous experience of being taken for a ride. Most time, for an act to be looked upon as being sacrificial it most be an extra ordinary act in that it pains. In most cases the recipients don't expect it so they are woowed by the act so times left in tears.
Sacrifice is the act of giving up something that one cherish so much for another person usually someone who is in dare need and don't know the way around. Sacrifice are in levels, it could be monitoring, act of kindness or even time.
Let's talk about what I have given up
I got to know about the blockchain blogging through a friend, one of those days I remember very well was a Friday, she call and told me of a platform, without much meditation I subscribed to it and That's how the journey began for me. Now because of the joy I hard I made up my mind to join in the promotion and do my best to get people onboard and also provide mentorship.
Okay, I was some months pregnant but that didn't change anything but I will give my whole day to coaching and onboarding. Sometimes the people will stay in my house till late in the night I will prepare food and all of us will est. I even went to the extent of running WiFi for them and that didn't border at all.
As time progressed I took I'll that was when I was about 6 months gone because of that I decided to antinatal care earlier than when I programmed. I was told my blood was short little so immediately I got to know where I was coming from. Remember I already have a little baby before then. So the cause was lack of rest, infact I barely sleep because my line was always on.
What Changed
The way and manner some of the people being coached where taking me my husband had to step in and reminded them that it's someone's wife they are stressing. Some of them felt i was being paid for utilities I opened up to them that no one pays me extra vote for all the sacrifices, a times when we go for promotion they feel that it's a right for them to take refreshment.
Now all those excess things I have trimmed them off. The mark of ones seriousness is your ability to keep to the time, have your data and phone. Unless you try and get hooked then I can come.
One serious lesson I got from here is that even in the name of helping people please set boundaries and be deliberate in keeping to the rules.
