. . The word sacrafice has negative connotation but it does have strong value in our life, especially when it comes to relationships. When we love someone full heartedly, we are willing to sacrifice our needs or wants in order to give what our loved ones want. This is noble and desirable to achieve a win-win for everyone. We often see how parents make big sacrifice for their children, they make sacrifices out of true love - these are REAL sacrifices as opposed to people who make fake sacrifices. We also often hear spouses make sacrifices for one another in order to live in peace and harmony as one family. The value of real sacrifice is enormous and hence it is crucial to learn to cultivate this value in our life.When you are able to put other people's needs and wants first and doing it out of true love, then you are creating the true value of sacrifice that not many people are able to do these days. How you view sacrifice is what matters! You can see the sacrifices you make as a choice for what really matters, rather than something that you have to give up. If you view sacrifices as something that you lose and others win, then this is not a true sacrifice and will not last for long. The true value of sacrifice is win-win. You give in now and benefit later.The best thing about the true value of sacrificeis that when you do it outoftrue love, you don't even feel that it is a sacrifice. Rather you view it as giving LOVE to others - this is true sacrifice and will last for a life time.Make Good Choices in Your Sacrifices You want to be sure, however, that you make sacrifices for good reasons and that your partner also sacrifices for you. Marriages and partnerships are supposed to be for the benefit of both partners. Therefore, sacrifices must go both ways.It is important that you do not feel like you are forced to make sacrifices. It should be something that you are willing to do, without feeling remorse. Note that you do not have to sacrifice or compromise on your moral or personal values. This type of sacrifice will certainly leave you with regret and guilt. Unfortunately, the kind of person who will ask you to compromise your personal values may not be the best partner for you. For instance, you should not sacrifice your HONESTY! If someone ask you to do that, you should refuse and make it clear that this is a personal value that you WILL NOT sacrifice.Loyalty and faithfullness are other personal values that should not be sacrificed no matter what. These are the values that make who you are and should not be compromised. If you sacrifice these personal values, you are going to suffer when the tide is turned on you. - .smile.
