If You Want To Transform Yourself, These Quotes Will Help You

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes, Personal Development

For you to move your life forward, to move from where you are now to where you want to be, you must be willing to transform yourself.

When you change, your life will change. When it comes to change, it starts with you.

To start your change journey, know why you are changing, know why you are doing what you are doing.

According to Shawn Achor, ‘The height of your potential is predicted by the people who surround you.’

‘It is better to be a good player on great team, rather than the star player on a forgettable team.’

‘In other words, connecting with high-potential people dramatically increases your likelihood of high-potential outcomes.’

‘Seek out people who bring out the best in you, not the stress in you.’

‘That is, the more connection we add to our network, the harder it is to find a node that remains isolated.’

‘Recognize that you can create change wherever YOU are.’

‘Helping others see the meaning in their personal lives and work lives does not diminish your own capacity for meaning; it magnifies it.’

‘When we are brave enough to expand power to others, suddenly we find that a huge weight is lifted off our shoulders, increasing our power to lift even heavier loads.’

‘Perfection of your objective, physical world is transformed by including others in your pursuit of achievement.’

‘When you work to help make others successful, you in turn take the invisible cap off your own success.’

‘You can be a superstar; you just can’t be one alone. What you need is a star system: a constellation of positive, authentic influencers, who support each other, reinforce each other, and make each other better.’

‘You are what you read.’

‘… only by surrounding ourselves with other stars are we able to truly shine.’

‘We need to free ourselves from the tyranny of labels if we are to achieve Big Potential.’

Finally, ‘for power to expand it needs to be recognized, desired, and reinforced.’

How To Start Making A Difference In Your Life

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes, Personal Development

Remember that life is more than just you. If you want to make a difference in your life, don’t forget about other people. If you want to make a difference in the world, don’t forget to put yourself first.

When you care for yourself, you care for others. When you care for others, you care for the world.

To make a difference in your life, you must be vulnerable. According to Julie P. Boyer, ‘Vulnerability powers leadership. Vulnerability powers change. Vulnerability also powers love and connection.’

Vulnerability says, ‘I am just like you. You and I are the same. We are one.’

To make a difference in your life, start your journey with what you have. ‘You don’t have to be able to imagine how you’ll find the work you’re meant to do, or how you’ll summon the courage to try. You don’t have to currently know that it’s possible.’

To make a difference in your life, don’t focus on what you are going through in your life. Because it is not going to be there forever. ‘Whether you’re at the bottom of a hole right now, or just starting to fall in, we’re going to get you out.’

‘When you’re operating from your true self, you don’t get paralyzed by fear, blame, avoidance, or doubt because you’ll be focused on what’s valuable to you, what you appreciate and what you are capable of.’

‘Everything changes when you shift out of the saboteur’s perspective and look at things through the lens of your true self. You thoughts will change, your perceptions will change, and your experience will change.’

‘Celebrate your new awareness! Awareness is the first and most powerful step in creating new choices for yourself.’

‘When you get good at dreaming, you empower yourself with the capacity to create.’

‘When you dream about what you want, you’re putting yourself in the position of receiving what you want and enjoying it.’

‘If you make dreaming a habit, you’ll find yourself less stressed out, less overwhelmed, and more empowered. You’ll build comfort in the unknown and become a strong decision maker at work and in your personal life.’

‘When you’re trying to create a change that requires you to grow as a person, normal problem-solving and goal-setting isn’t always enough to take you there.’

‘When you spend years, even decades, inside the same thoughts pattern, unconsciously believing made-up stories about who you are, you start paint that reality as ‘real.’

‘When you truly commit to creating an outcome before you know how you’ll make it happen, you activate an entirely different set of internal resources than you do with mere goal-setting.’

‘When you live from purpose, you do so from your heart. … Only a compelling purpose, one that comes from deep inside you, will keep drawing forward.’

‘Whoever you discover you are, and whatever you’re here on earth to do, you’ll do it in your whole life, not just your work.’

‘When you connect with your purpose, you’ll hear an internal ‘yes’ as you look at some options, and internal ‘no’ when you look at others. You’ll be seeing your options through the lens of your heart, the place of intuition and wisdom, which is often more dependable than logic alone.’

Finally, if you know what you want, ‘you can start acting on it now.’
