Sacrifice is an absolute requirement. Show me someone who has made no sacrifice, and I'll show you someone who has no attainment.

MartialDev is talking in terms of ruthlessness. He means trade, not sacrifice - but they carry the same meaning.
Try manifesting a totally fit body like Arnold Schwarzenegger without spending any time lifting weight. Try becoming a black belt without years of intense practice.
You must "sacrifice" time, energy, disempowering beliefs, unhealthy habits and many other things to achieve greatness. These must be given up. You cannot sit on your rump and manifest a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Period.
However, it is entirely possible to ENJOY your trade-offs or "sacrifice", it's all in your own perception:
While some people say "Oh noes! I have to give up junk food?"
Others choose to say, "Now I'm eating food that will give me tons of energy and stength. Now I'm becoming healthier and more vibrant EVERY DAY!"
One type of person is "sacrificing", the other person is simply trading his time and energy for a happier and more succesful life.
Yes, sacrifice is required, but looking at it as a sacrifice is not. It's more like you're investing in your self.
