The Power Of Choice: What Do You Really Want?

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

You always have a choice. You are not a powerless person. You are a powerful person. Before you choose anything, know why you are choosing it. Before you jump into something, especially something new, know why you are doing it. If not, it is not going to make you happy. You are not going to feel fulfilled in your life.

According to Shad Helmstetter, ‘To choose love you have to believe you are capable of finding it; to choose success you have to believe you deserve it; to choose happiness you have to believe that it is there and that it belongs to you already.’

No matter where you are right now, what you are doing right now, love it. Love your life. Be happy with yourself. Do not look for happiness. Make your own happiness. Why? Because ‘love is a choice. Success is a choice. Happiness is a choice.’ Remember that where you are is not up to chance; it is up to choice.

If you want to create a better life for yourself, you must choose wisely.

Share Your Shame

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?
