What am I willing to give up to keep growing?

That question has haunted me for the last few hours. Darn thought provoking leadership books! What am I willing to give up to keep growing? I believe that you do have to give something up in order to focus more on something else and to keep growing. If you want to be a better friend, you have to give up time you would normally spend on yourself or with your family. If you would like to lose weight, you have to give up eating certain foods or quantities of food. If you want to be a better salesman, you have to give up time at home and in the office to get out in front of customers and research the products. If you want more financial independence, you have to give up your spending habits and prioritize what's most important. All of these things are based humility, recognition, desire, motivation, and ability to work towards a common goal. I may have to come back to this one. I need to decide what I will be striving towards.
