Do this one thing to discover who you really are

Every offering. Every sleepless night. Every part of yourself you’ve given away—be careful where you lay it. Not every altar gives back. Some just consume. Some only demand more.

You think you’re sacrificing for love, for family, for loyalty, for “the greater good.” But pause and look closely: are you offering… or are you bleeding? 🩸

Because here’s the truth no one tells you—sacrifice is holy only when it nourishes something alive, something that breathes growth back into you. 🌱 If what you serve only takes—if it never fills, never affirms, never returns—then what you’ve built is not devotion, it’s bondage. And bondage wears many masks: a relationship that drains, a job that hollows, a cause that pretends to need you but feeds only on your silence.

I’ve seen people worship at the altar of someone else’s approval until they forget the sound of their own voice. 🔗 I’ve watched dreamers trade every ounce of fire for a promise of “someday” that never comes. I’ve seen warriors give everything for a banner that never once protected them.

Here’s the cut that stings: blind devotion isn’t noble—it’s a slow death. 🕯️ Chains forged in the name of love or duty are still chains. And they will tighten until you no longer remember the person you once were.

So ask yourself: does what you serve feed your soul—or eat it alive? Does your sacrifice plant seeds, or does it salt the earth?

💡 Because the wrong cause will cost you everything.

Your time, your heart, your very self.

Choose wisely.

And remember—gods that no longer listen do not deserve your prayers.
