Some things become valuable because of what you refused in order to keep them.

Some things are precious because of what they cost. The work you kept doing when easier things were available, the person you stayed with through the hard year, the path you did not abandon. The refusals are part of the value, not a separate sacrifice made alongside it.

Think about what you have quietly turned down to keep something in your life. Naming it tends to renew your commitment or reveal that the price no longer makes sense. Either answer is worth having.
