How To Build The Life You Want

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

In the words of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, ‘Obstacles present no hindrance, for they open new avenues of intellectual advance.’

When you face a problem, what do you? Do you give up? Do you just say, ‘I am done. I can’t do it?’

Or do you try to figure things out? This is better. It is better to face what is in front of us than to leave it and just walk away.

Yes, you can walk away if it is not what you are really interested in, or what you want to do with your life.

‘You never build the life you want by getting lost in things you don’t want.’- Dan Rockwell

Because staying with what is not working is a waste of time.

If something is not going to make you a better human being, let it go. If you are not enjoying what you are doing, why do it?

Do not waste your time. Whatever it is that is NOT making you happy, that is stressing you, that is not adding anything to your life, if possible, let it go.

‘You can get what you want if you are willing to let go of what you do not want.’

Let it go. Because you need more time to do other important things, to live a better life, and to do a better work.

Because you can’t win by playing not to lose. You can’t win by not taking more risks. You can’t get what you want by keeping what you have. Because life is about investment.

To get more, you must invest more. You must do more. Learn more. And love more. The question is, will you do it? Do you have the courage to face what is right in front of you?

How To Rise To The Top

Where are you now? What are you doing? Do you like what you are doing? If you don’t like it, what are you doing to lift yourself up?

What are you doing to get to your own next level? Or, are you waiting for other people to wake you up?

No, That is wrong. If you are serious about taking charge of your life, if you are serious about making a difference in your life, you have to start where you are, with what you have.

Because no one is going to give you what you want. You have got to go after what you want.

Do not wait for the perfect time, or to have the perfect tools to start. You have got to start now, where you are, with what is available.

Stop waiting for people. Stop waiting for the right time. Why is that? Because the right time to do anything is right now, not tomorow. Right now is all you have to make a difference in your life.

Maybe you are waiting to get your MBA before you put your thoughts to work. Do not go there. Do not do that to your destiny. Because people are counting on you. People are waitimg for you to make it in life. People are praying for you. People are rooting for you. Because when you make it, then you can ‘open a page for another person.’

Where are you now? What are you doing now? Do you like where you are? Do you like what you are doing? If not, what are you doing to improve the situation?

To do that, to open a page for another person, you have got to give yourself a start in life.

You give yourself a start when you don’t wait for the perfect time to launch your life, to make a difference, to do what others don’t, and to see what others can’t.

You give yourself a start in life when you are humble, when you are proud of what you are doing right now, no matter how low.

Because you know that where you are going is not going to happen if you do not take where you are now seriously.

Because you know that where you are right now is the foundation. It is the ticket to where you want to go. Because it is.
