Sacrifice is an art. I have found that it is very hard to sacrifice if we are not aware of the lower and higher values involved.
If we are really aware of what we can rise to in making a sacrifice, it makes the sacrifice a lot easier.
It can be a test of faith when we are in a situation where we have to sacrifice but we don't know quite what we are sacrificing for.
In any case not knowing what we are sacrificing for is an unconscious sacrifice and this often leads to resentment building up within us.
It is also very helpful to fully know the inferior values we are leaving behind when make that sacrifice.
To be tired of those lower values, know them inside and out and know that they are not taking us anywhere useful to our spiritual or even human development it makes a sacrifice a little easier to do.
