As I read through this chapter, "The Law of Sacrifice" from Raymond Holliwell's book Working With The Law, I wasn't very comfortable. He speaks of discipline and sacrifice. He talks about Abraham Lincoln as a fine example of discipline. Well, I don't know about you, but I never wanted to be president and although I have a healthy respect for Abraham Lincoln, I never aspired to be anything like him. It's almost like he's to big to compare. Like trying to be Jesus or something.But the fact is Lincoln was but a mere human. Just like the rest of us. He accomplished great things because he let go of the little things and moved toward the greater. He had the discipline to stay on track and not wander. He always had the big picture in mind. He did not concentrate on the trivial.But Holliwell paints a rather austere picture. I love to have fun and discipline and sacrifice don't sound all that fun. In fact quite the opposite. You know what I mean? However, Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey are able to explain the Law of Sacrifice in a way that doesn't seem so dismal.Proctor says this of The Law of Sacrifice, "Sacrifice is giving up something of a lower nature to receive something of a higher nature." So you're not really giving stuff up, you're "trading up" so to speak. You're letting something smaller go for something bigger. More for your money, right?So the first thing we all need to do is decide what it is we want. And the next step is to determine what needs to change to get us there. What will you give up, let go, or sacrifice in order to get to the place you want to be or have what you want to have. Maybe the money you save by not buying that $5 cup of coffee each morning could go towards the down payment on that sweet new car you've had your eye on. Or one of the hours you spend watching TV could be spent exercising and moving toward that stronger, healthier body you've been wishing for.Let go of something of less importance in order to make room for something greater. That feels good. That feels right. It's like when my kids have to clean out their closets and get rid of the old toys to make room for the new ones they just got for Christmas or their birthdays or whatever. Or cleaning out my closet after each season and making room for the new clothes (and shoes of course :)). We get rid of the things that no longer fit or are worn out and we make room for the new stuff. We always need to be moving on to bigger and better things.Life will forever move forward. We wouldn't want it any other way. Even if everything is great, it would eventually get boring. Change is good. It keeps us fired up and moving on to our next step in life, whatever that may be."Your motion forward is inevitable; it must be. You can not help but move forward. But you are not here on a quest to move forward - you are here to experience outrageous joy. That is why you are here." - Jerry and Esther Hicks
