What would you sacrifice to further your passion?

To pursue writing, to shape the thoughts running rampant in my head, I'd give up time, social engagements, and, oh yeah, SANITY. :) I love the feeling of finding a way to say just exactly what I mean (on the rare moments when the "in my head" planet and "here I am" planet align) and would give up sleep, peace of mind, and even social adventure just to see it through.

i think if you are that passionate about something - then there is nothing that you wouldn't sacrifice to further/be successful - look at amateur athletes who complete in races for the love of it - many of them sacrifice up to 20-30 hours a week for training, on top of jobs/family committments
In general I'd say something like short term gratification and possibly sanity or happiness. But then again the idea of sacrifice is interesting, and not pursuing a passion also has an aspect of sacrifice.
