Your Fulfillment Matters

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

No relationship is perfect. But ‘relationships become problematic when one person’s fulfillment is routinely sacrificed in service of the other’s.’

If you want to fulfill your potential, you need a healthy relationship. You need a healthy human being in your life. You need people who love you for who you are, not for what you can do for them.

Do not surround yourself with people who are in your life to get. It is not good for you. Why is that? Because if you are unable to meet their needs, they will leave you for another person. The more you do, the more they want from you. The more you do for them, the less you do for yourself.

It is okay to help other people. But do not forget yourself.

As always, you are more, not less!

How To Find Your Purpose

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes, Personal Development

You are alive for a purpose. Go after it every day. If you do not give up, it will come to pass.

To find your purpose, according to Russ Whitney, ‘Don’t live in fear. Live in faith and gratitude. Fill your heart with love and thankfulness for all that you now have so that there is no space left for fear.’

You can be exceptionally kind, loving, giving, and respectful without being a slave to the opinions of others. Accept that other people will disapprove of some of the things you do, and you’ll free yourself to do truly magnificent things.’

‘Life gets better when we make the decision to not worry about what others say about us. If someone talks about you, it’s none of your business. Your job is to keep your side of the fence clean from the perspective of you and the God of your understanding- that’s it.’

‘Step back from your disappointment and reconnect with your passion. Know that there is a positive and effective way forward.’

‘You don’t need anyone’s permission to live a successful life, happy life filled with exactly what you see in your dreams. You don’t need to wish, beg, or plead for a lucky break. You just have to step forward and do it.‘

‘Be in the moment. Let life flow, and things will fall into place. Stay out of tomorrow and don’t bring yesterday into today.’

‘Be grateful first thing in the morning. Find the good in everything all day long. If you don’t have something positive to say, say nothing.’

‘Suit up, show up, and use your gifts. Know what part is yours and what part belongs to the universe. Do your part; the results are out of your hands.’

‘The only person you should compare yourself to is your yourself. Your obligation is to do your very best. Don’t worry about how that compares to someone else.’

‘If you plant a seed, water it for a few days, and then stop, it won’t sprout and you might never have planted it. So keep watering your seeds. Direct your focus again and again toward those things you’re committed to completing.’

As always, you more, not less!
