Choose Happiness

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Your happiness is your choice. You can choose to be happy. Whether you have what you want or not, choose happiness. Whether you have more or you have less, choose happiness.

Be happy. You are not happy because everything is perfect in your life. You are happy because you are alive. You are happy because you are a chosen one. You are happy because you still have a day or two to go after dreams. You are happy because you are not sick.

From now on, no matter what you are going through, do not blame it on others. Instead, choose happiness. It is not to say that you are not going through something. You are. You know that happiness is not about what is going on in your life. You know that happiness is about taking care of yourself, how you are treating yourself, and what you are doing for others.

Again, being happy doesn’t mean you are living a stress-free life. It also doesn’t mean you are living a problem-free life. You are happy despite what is going on in your life.

Before you leave, when things are tough, choose happiness. Why? Because it is your choice.

Be Comfortable With Yourself

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

When things are tough, be comfortable with yourself. When you are tired, feel like giving up, be comfortable with yourself. When you are tired of explaining your values to others, those who don’t understand you, be okay with yourself. When people are not who you think they are, be comfortable with yourself. When you are the only person in the room fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves, be comfortable with yourself.

Because people are counting on you. If you are not comfortable with yourself, you won’t be able to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. If you are not able to take a tough stand against a popular but not helpful issue, the world will suffer.

Don’t let that happen. Because being comfortable with yourself means self-love. It means you are okay with yourself, regardless of what is going on in the world. It means you see opportunities, not problems. It means you are happy with what you have. It means you know where you are, what is going on, and what you are going after.

Before you go, remember, being comfortable with yourself is self-love.
