“Being willing to give up some of the good to develop what can be great is the hardest betrayal we have to endure ”
— John C. Maxwell

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, to achieve something truly amazing, we need to let go of things that are merely good. Imagine you have a job that pays well and is comfortable, but it doesn't make you excited or happy. Quitting that job to chase your dream career might feel like you're betraying your current stability, but it can open the door to something much better. This is really tough because it’s scary to leave behind something that’s already working for you. However, what you gain in the end might bring you far greater satisfaction and happiness, making the difficult decision worth it. For instance, many successful entrepreneurs had to leave safe jobs to start their own businesses, risking failure for a chance at greatness.
