How To Get Back Up

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

Things are going to happen to you that you can’t control. Things are going to shake who you are.

When they happen, don’t stay down. If you want to make progress in your life, you must get back up.

To get back up, according to Anthony J. Klarica, you must ‘break challenges down into manageable parts to help address them.’ If you want to be successful at what you are doing, don’t do everything at the same time. Focus on what can make a difference in your life.

‘Be prepared for injuries, setbacks and disappointments, appreciating that they too are part of the journey.’ Life is full of obstacles. When they happen, take them as learning opportunities.

‘Respect the fine line between winning and losing, and learn how to lose.‘ Life is a testing ground. It is your laboratory. It is your own personal university. When you fall, get back up.

When you fail, do it again. Because it is the only way to win. If you want to win more, you must fail more. Remember, success comes from failure. If you want to win, learn how to fail.

‘Reflect on resilient stories from others you can relate to in order to sustain your own resilience.’

Your journey is special to you. If you are having trouble making progress, reach out for help. People are willing to help. But you must first help yourself. You do that by reaching out to them.

Remember, resilience is about how you handle your situation. It is also about how you carry yourself.

When you are down, don’t stay down. Get back up. When you fall, get back up. And keep going. Be patient. You will get to where you want to be.

As always, you are more, not less!

How To Build Motivation That Last

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

Success is about self-motivation. If you don’t have the courage to motivate yourself, no one is going to do it for you.

Self-motivation is going after what you want, even when you do not feel like doing it.

If you want to build motivation that last, according to Anthony J. Klarica, ‘Keep focusing on what you can do, putting energy into action to help ignite motivation.’ Do not waste your time on what you can’t do. It won’t help you.

‘Consider competence, autonomy and relatedness: think about what you are good at, how you can contribute and who you can connect with.’

Success is going to come from what you are good at, what you can do really well, not what you are not good at. If you are good at something, even if others don’t like it, you have got to go for it. Because no one succeeds at what they are not good at.

‘Celebrate what you do along the way. Don’t wait for the big achievements.’ When it comes to getting yourself going, nothing is too small to celebrate. No matter how small, always celebrate your wins.

‘Find passion, meaning and purpose in what you are doing.’ Before you do anything, know why you are doing it. Do not waste your time on things that are not getting you closer to where you want to be. If something is not making you happy, if you are not growing, stop it. Life is too short to waste.

And you must ‘Look beyond winning for motivation. An awareness that multiple motivators are in play enables you to recognise achievements and growth on your journey.’

Remember, you are the only one who can motivate you. If you want something, go for it. Now is your time. What are you waiting for?

As always, you are more, not less!
