Simplification Is Not About Letting Go. It Is About This

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Simplification is about what you want to achieve in your life. It is not about what you want to give away.

It is making things better. It is not about letting things go. It is about letting good things into your life. Yes, it can also be about letting bad things leave your life.

Yes, if you want to create room for growth, you have got to let some things leave your life.

You can simplify your life by being true to yourself. Because things are easier to manage when we are real to ourselves.

You can simplify your life by paying attention to what is not working for you. When you pay attention to what is not working, then you will know where to focus your resources.

Simplification is about making things better for yourself. It is letting go of bad friends, fake friends. It is about making room for growth in your life.

Simplification is about going back to what matters to you. When you are after what you love, when you are after what is important to you, you feel alive.

Before you go, remember this: ‘If you want to create a better life for yourself, you must simplify your life. If you want to get things done, more things done, spend more quality time with your loved ones, you have got to simplify your life.’

So what are you doing to simplify your life today?

They Are Your Real Friends

People are calling you. Your friends are calling you. The question is, ‘Are you listening to them?’

If you want to hear, you must pay attention. Listen for something. Listen to your people, people who love you, who are for you, no matter what is going on in your life.

Your people, people who are willing to do whatever it takes to help you succeed. They are your true friends.

If you want to make a difference in the world, you need true friends. You do not need people who are not for you. You do not need any dream killers. You need more dreamers.

Do not ignore your real friends. You must listen to them. They know you. They know what you can do. When they are talking, just listen.

Because they are your true friends. Because they want you to succeed in your own life.

You need them. Because when they see things that are not good, that are not going to help you succeed, things that are unproductive, they will not stand for them. They will do something about them. They will bring them to light. Because they know that they are not going to get better if nothing is done about them.

Remember, nothing gets better by itself. If you want to know more about something, get closer to it. The closer, the better.
