When Things Are Tough

‘In the midst of a difficult or challenging situation, don’t shut down, open up! Just when you think you can’t take any more, do any more, be any more, don’t give up, open up! When it feels like you are about to fall off a cliff, jump! When it looks like everything is falling apart, start rebuilding from the rubbbish and remnants of what is left. The only way to get to the next level is to go there.’- Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today!

The only way to get to the next level is to go there.’

Challenging times will come. Things will get tough. People will reject you. People will say things just to put you down, just to tear you down.

You will make mistakes. People will hurt you. But do not lose your heart. Believe in yourself.

When you do, other people will believe in you.

You are more,not less!

Five Ways To Make Your Future-Self Happy

Who you are today is not who you are going to be tomorrow. Your future-self is who you want to become.

To get there, you must take care of today. Whatever it is you are doing today, if it is not getting you closer to where you want to be, it is taking you away from it.

To make your future-self happy, you must get out of your safe-zone. Why is that? Because doing the same thing won’t get you there. To get something new, you must think differently. You must take risks, purposeful ones.

To make your future-self happy, you have got to be yourself. Because if you are not yourself, you are not going to get to where you want to be. You need your real self, not the one you are faking.

To make your future-self happy, you must build your life from a place of love. Because where there is love, nothing is impossible.

Finally, to make your future-self happy, you have got to be comfortable with yourself. You are enough. Be comfortable with yourself.

Isn’t that enough? What else do you want?
