How To Get To The Top On Your Own Terms

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes, Personal Development

You can get to the top if you are willing to do the work. You must, according to Josh Altman, ‘constantly be creating your own opportunities.’

Whatever you are doing right now, do it well. Because it is the beginning of where you are going. Your future depends on what you are doing right now.

According to Lauren Maillian Bias, ‘It doesn’t matter why the door opens. If it opens, don’t hesitate to walk through it, but be prepared to work harder than expected. Expectations of you are always higher than they may outwardly seem.’

‘Learn to clearly communicate in a way that commands respect, but isn’t abrasive.’

‘Always be committed to the job at hand. Do it well and get noticed enough to move forward.’

‘Show that you can persevere with grace during difficult situations. Problems are a part of life, and we all encounter them, but how you handle them will be most memorable.’

‘When people show you their true colors, believe them. Don’t make excuses for other people’s negative behaviors.’

‘Treat everyone like a rock star.’

‘Know when to hold out for what’s most important to you.’

‘Always be the bigger person and rise above the nonsense. Remember: The actions of those who would tear you down are a reflection of them. Don’t let someone win by dragging you into his or her mud puddle.’

‘Own your voice, control your narrative, and be deliberate in your communication.’

‘You are your reputation, not your company or your title. It’s all about you– the impresssions you leave, the interests you pique, the conversations you start.’

‘Stay grounded and never lose sight of your moral compass.’

‘Seek to work with people with integrity. You can always find higher ground when you’re working with good people.’

‘Every time you’re faced with a major decision, ask yourself: ‘Is it worth it even if I fail?’ If the answer is ‘yes,’ go for it!’

‘Live life on your terms. Do what works best for your life as defined by you and no one else.’

Are You At Peace With Yourself?

‘When one isn’t at peace, nothing makes sense.’- Daniel Chidiac

Peace comes from within. You don’t get it from what you have. You get it from what makes you happy.

You get peace from what you do for other people, not from what you take away from other people.

Peace doesn’t come from who we say we are. It comes from what we get from how we treat other people.

Peace comes from being happy with what you have. Peace is when you are comfortable with yourself.

It doesn’t come from buying the biggest mansion in the world. It doesn’t come from driving the best car in the world. It doesn’t come from your titles.

It comes from within. You do not have to search for peace. You are peace. Your job is to connect with your peace.

To do that, you don’t need more things; you just need to be true to yourself. Because if you are not true to yourself, if you are not doing the right things, if you are not treating other people with love and respect, if you are not taking care of the little things in your life, you won’t be able to connect with your peace within. Do not let that be you.

As always, you are more, not less!
