Real success is always about sacrifice. The following are five things successful animators sacrifice in achieving their goals:

1. Time

We all have the same 24 hours, and we all have the opportunity to make the most of it. Becoming successful comes at an expense where you have to sacrifice your free time and devote more time to your goals.

2. Sleep

Sometimes, regardless of how productive you are during the day, successful animators require more hours of work at night. The best part about it is the rewarding feeling you get after accomplishing the tasks.

3. Health

The truth is when you’re determined to achieve your goals, it might come at a cost where you might start to neglect your health as well. It may not be the ideal thing to do, but we need to ignore certain aspects of our lives to temporarily improve others.

4. Personal Life

Successful animators have to give up some points of their personal lives to reach where they are. There are certain times where you need to say no, turn down invitations, or miss out on some events to reach your goals.

5. Desires

Successful animators give up their desires and reflect on a long-term plan.
