Share Your Shame

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

Shame is heavy. If you have the courage to share your own shame, you are going to feel better about yourself.

Shame is why people don’t talk about their mistakes. Shame is why people don’t bring other people into their lives. Shame is why people hide their mistakes. Shame is why we keep ourselves away from the life that God has created for us.

Shame is a devil. If you do not talk about it, it is going to keep you small. It is not going to leave you alone.

Not talking about your failures, not talking about your weaknesses, not talking about what you are struggling with, not talking about what is bothering you, it is only going to get worse.

If you want to walk freely, to enjoy your life, to increase your happiness, and to bring more love into your life, to do what you are doing really well, you must be brave enough to talk about your shame.

When you talk about your shame, when you own your shame, when you don’t care about what other people are saying about you, moving forward becomes really easier to face.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to do what you are not good at? Do you have the courage to face your shame?

Embrace Imperfection For Genuine Growth

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Trying to be perfect is a road to nowhere. It is cheating yourself. It is cheating life. And it is cheating your growth and productivity.

Do not take that road. Because you are not going anywhere. You are going to be walking around. You are going to be busy, but you are not going to get to where you want to be.

Remember that perfection is not about you. It is not about what you know, what you can do. It is about your perception. It is about how you see life, how you see your life, and how you see the world around you.

But why do we focus too much on being perfect? Why do we want to be perfect?

We can achieve a lot. But not by trying to be perfect. Because it is not going to happen. The best way, the fastest way to success is to embrace your weaknesses. It is to agree with yourself that you can never be perfect, that you are not alone in the game, that other people have their own weaknesses.

They do. You are not the only one. You are not alone. So if you want to really make a difference in your life, if you want to change your life, you have got to embrace your weaknesses.

Because your weaknesses are not really your weaknesses. They are your strengths. If you have the courage to embrace your weaknesses, they will make you stronger, not weaker.
