Stand Up For Yourself: The Courage To Pursue Your Dreams

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

‘Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for something else.’- Maya Angelou

Who told you that? Who told you that you don’t have what it takes to live your life? Who told you that you can’t do what you want to do in your life? Who told you that you are too young to pursue your dreams? Who told you that you don’t have the right qualifications to get you through the door? Who told you that you are too old to go after what you want to achieve for yourself?

Who told you?

Look, people have the right to talk, to say anything. But they don’t have the right to change your destination.

Do not focus on what they are saying about your dreams. Instead of paying attention to what they are saying, why not get to work? Why not use your power to change your life?

You can do it. Because you can do it. Because you have what it takes to do what you want to do. Do not let fear stop you from living your life. Do not let people talk you out of your dreams.

Remember who you are. You are a child of God. You are here to please God, not to please people. You are here to represent God, not to listen to what people are saying about your dreams.

Do not worry about what people are saying. Your dreams are from God. They are not from people. They are not from your friends. They are not from your coworkers.

You are responsible for your dreams, not your friends.

If you don’t know what to do, ask God for help. According to the Bible, God says, ‘Do not fear, for I am with you.’ When in doubt, just remember that.

Remember that, with God, you are courageous enough to face your life. You are courageous enough to get things done.

Without courage, we are done. We are not going to be able to do anything big in life.

No success will come to you without you having the courage to fail, to make mistakes.

You are not going to be able to achieve greatness in your life if you do not have the courage to face your fears, if you do not have the courage to embrace failure.

You are not going to be able to create a better life for yourself if you do not have the courage to embrace creativity, if you are afraid to try new things.

If you want to keep going, if you want to add value to your life, if you want to get ahead, you must face your fears.

The question is,’Do you have the courage to face your fears?’

How Patience Can Help You Face Your Life

‘There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience.’- Jean de La Bruyere

Be patient with yourself, no matter what is going on in your life. If you are not where you are supposed to be, be patient with yourself.

If you are not making enough money to live your life, with hard work, everything is going to be alright. Trust what God is doing in your life.

If you have not be treating yourself with love, you have got to stop doing that to yourself. You are on a journey. You are not racing with other people.

You are racing against yourself, your yesterday’s self. Beating yourself up is not going to add anything to your life. Instead, it is going to take a lot from you. For example, your peace, your happiness.

Do not do that to yourself. When things are hard, when things are not going well, just remember why you are here. God created you for a reason.

You are not here by accident. You are not here by mistakes. You are alive to make a difference, to change the world, to write your own history.

Isn’t that great?

That is why you shouldn’t give up, no matter what you are facing in your life right now. If you do not give up, you will win. But if you give up on yourself, on your dreams, everything is over. Life is gone. Dreams are gone.

Please don’t do that to your beautiful life. People are counting on you. People are praying for you to make it in your life.

It is going to be alright. You are not living by accident. You are living a life of purpose. Whatever it is that you want to do, don’t wait for the right time. Because the right time will never come to you.

Now is your right time. Be patient. Don’t rush the process. Because you can’t acquire patience overnight.

If you want to be successful in your life, you must be patient with yourself.

If you want to get to the other side, you must respect yourself. You must be patient with others. Because ‘patience can’t be acquired overnight.’
