How To Say Yes To Your Life

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

When you choose yourself, it means a yes to your life.

Saying yes to your life is about being comfortable in your own skin, no matter where you are.

When you say yes to your life, you are saying no to distractions, to anger, to resentment, to failure, to fear, to negative people, fake friends.

Saying yes to your life starts with you. When it comes to embracing your life, no matter what you have gone through in your life, it is your responsibility to reset your life, to reposition yourself for greatness.

Beause you own your life. If you are not for your life, no one is going to be for it. And if you are against yourself, no one can help you.

That is why you must say yes to your life like your life depends on it. Because your life really depends on it.

Saying yes to your life starts with being honest with yourself. In the words of Gezim Gashi, ‘Being honest with yourself about the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be will allow you map your action steps.’

When you say yes to your life, you are in a whole new place in your life. You are a different human being. It means you are willing to do whatever it takes to take your life to the next level.

When you say yes to your life, it means you know what you want, how to get it, and where to get it. It means you know what is going on in your world. You are not too far from your own reality.

Because, according to Gezim, ‘the more you know about your current reality, the more likely it is you’ll be able to map your way to your vision.’

That is what saying yes to your life is about. It doesn’t mean you are better than other people. It doesn’t mean you are smarter than other people. It does not mean you are after what other people are doing. And it doesn’t mean you are not going to face issues in the future. You will, but you will know what to do when they do arrive.

Saying yes to your life means you are willing to do whatever it takes to stand up for yourself, no matter what. It means you are comfortable with yourself. It means you don’t have any problem being with yourself. It means you are not going to sell yourself short, no matter what.

Saying yes to yourself means you are not going to settle for anything less than what the Lord has created you to achieve.

If you do not know how to say no to distractions, I want you to remember this: ‘Everything we do is a step towards our best self or away from it, toward some other possible of ourselves.’

So, what are you doing to move your life forward? What are you saying yes to? And what are you saying no to?

You Can Create Your Own Lasting Success. Here is How To Do It

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

What you can do for yourself is limitless. What you can do for the people in your life is more than you can think. And what you can do for the world is more than what you think.

Life will give you what you work for, not what you want. So if you want to create your own lasting success, growth, you must be willing to do the work.

Because you can do a lot if you are willing to do the work, if you are not afraid to fail, if you are willing to challenge yourself.

If you want to create your own lasting success, you must challenge yourself. You must not be comfortable. You must not be complacent. Because complacency is a dream killer. It is a temporary solution. According to Molly Fletcher, ‘Complacency is a feeling of self-satisfaction that keeps you from reaching your potential. Complacency lulls you into false sense of security, an ‘I can do it later’ mindset.’

To be comfortable is not a bad thing. But don’t make it a habit. Because it will make you even more comfortable.

You can create your own lasting success when you commit yourself to what you are doing right now, not what you will do in the future. Why is that? Because what you are doing right now is not going to change anything right now. If you do what you are doing now really well, it has the power to change the direction of your life.

When it comes to success, to growth, commitment is key. When you commit yourself to what you want in your life, you do not really care about what is going on in the world. You are not easily distracted by what other people are doing. You are really into what you are doing. You want to see it through to the end.

You can see things through to the end when you discipline yourself. Life is a failure without discipline.

Discipline is doing something that you do not feel like doing. It is facing your fears. It is saying to yourself, ‘I am going to do this thing, no matter what is going on in my life.’

Success is possible when you discipline yourself, when you are comfortable with being uncomfortable, when you are comfortable with discomfort. According to Molly Fletcher, ‘discomfort creates freedom from regrets, from looking in that rearview mirror and wondering what you could have amounted to.’

You can amount to anything if you are not scared to try things that you have not done before. if you can face yourself, if you can face your fears, you can do anything.

If you can face your fears, you can take charge of your life. If you can do what other people don’t want to do, you can achieve your dreams. If you are willing and ready to do more than others, to invest in yourself, then nothing can stop you from creating your own lasting success.

To start, you must know your purpose. The question is, ‘Do you know your purpose?’
