Every human being has needs and desires. Yearnings often run so deep that they cannot be silenced and must be fulfilled. While you may have to restructure your needs to accommodate those around you, they should not be suppressed.
If a relationship or situation demands that you sacrifice the very essence of you - reevaluate. When something is for you, really for you, it will never demand that you cease to be.
There will be times when you will be called upon to rise to your highest self, but that is not a sacrifice...it's an honor. When you are living in truth, you will know the difference, without a doubt.
The best way to invite goodness into your life is to be the example of what it looks like. Live each day striving to be the best version of you. If there is someone or something that does not contribute to your elevation - walk away.
