Do Not Be Afraid To Change Your Mind

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

If things are not working for you, do not get frustrated. Do not beat yourself up. Ask yourself, ‘What is going on? Why am I not getting it right? What am I missing?’ Never ask, ‘Why me?’ That is not good. That is not good for you. Just because you are learning does not mean you are not going to get better.

Just beacuse you are struggling to understand something does not mean you are stupid. Just because you are still trying to know yourself better doesn’t mean you are a weak person. Just because you don’t want to be abused by those who don’t know you, that doesn’t mean you are a bad person. Or that you are a loner. You are not a loner. You love yourself. You don’t want to be abused by people who don’t know what it really means to be alive.

If something is not for you, do not pretend to like it. If you do, you are wasting your time. If you are not comfortable with people, do not pretend to like them. It is okay to say, ‘I love myself more.’ Do not pretend to do anything that you are not proud of. If you do, you are hurting yourself.

Embrace Imperfection For Genuine Growth

Trying to be perfect is a road to nowhere. It is cheating yourself. It is cheating life. And it is cheating your growth and productivity.

Do not take that road. Because you are not going anywhere. You are going to be walking around. You are going to be busy, but you are not going to get to where you want to be.

Remember that perfection is not about you. It is not about what you know, what you can do. It is about your perception. It is about how you see life, how you see your life, and how you see the world around you.

But why do we focus too much on being perfect? Why do we want to be perfect?

We can achieve a lot. But not by trying to be perfect. Because it is not going to happen. The best way, the fastest way to success is to embrace your weaknesses. It is to agree with yourself that you can never be perfect, that you are not alone in the game, that other people have their own weaknesses.

They do. You are not the only one. You are not alone. So if you want to really make a difference in your life, if you want to change your life, you have got to embrace your weaknesses.

Because your weaknesses are not really your weaknesses. They are your strengths. If you have the courage to embrace your weaknesses, they will make you stronger, not weaker.
