Summary

Living a top 5% life isn’t easy. It requires a lot of work, discipline, dedication and something most fail to factor in; sacrifice. Success of any kind requires sacrifice, as your goals, dreams and targets will not just magically materialize in your life. If sufficient levels of sacrifice are not made, the sustainability of the massive action required to successfully reach your desired outcome will not be possible. After all, how can we responsibly expect change if we aren’t first willing to? In episode 9, Chris discusses the importance of sacrifice, how lack of sacrifice often is the reason most will fail to create positive, lasting change; and identifies key things many people will need to give up in order to evolve into the person they were destined to become.

0:00.0	What's up guys? This is Chris Cavalini and you tuned into the start today podcast. I'm Han Solo today. It's going to be short. It's going to be impactful. I'm going to get right
0:22.5	to the point. So this last weekend, I saw the new Avengers movie. And I'm not going to give any
0:29.3	spoilers, but there was a part of the movie in there that got me thinking. So if you saw either
0:36.1	the newest Avengers movie or the last one, the Infinity War,
0:39.4	you remember the scene where Thanos and his daughter encountered the gatekeeper of the
0:49.6	Soulstone. They got to that planet where the Soul Stone was being kept and when they approached the place where the soul stone was, the gatekeeper informed them that in order to get the soul stone, that they would have to basically lose what it is that they love.
1:11.6	All right?
1:12.6	Basically what he was saying was in order to acquire the soul stone,
1:18.6	which would essentially bring him great power,
1:22.6	he would have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
1:26.6	And that got me thinking because that concept is metaphorically equivalent to the path of what it takes to accomplish success.
1:40.3	And there are absolutely zero exceptions to this rule. A huge mistake I see a lot of people
1:46.8	making is, you know, when they set a new goal, when they make the decision to raise their
1:51.6	standards, they, you know, go on offense and they commit to changing their life in some way.
1:59.0	The biggest mistake that I see people make is, you know, they set their goal.
2:04.6	They're all excited about it.
2:05.8	They start taking the action, you know, whatever the case is.
2:08.2	But the thing that they failed to do, the thing that ultimately leads their demise.
2:14.0	And in my opinion, what is probably the sole factor that most people fail to deploy,
2:22.6	fail to identify, which causes them to not be able to ever see anything through and
2:27.7	accomplish their goals is they fail to identify the sacrifices that they're going to have to make to accomplish their goal.
2:37.8	And this legitimately applies to anything, all right?
