If you are not where you are supposed to be, something is holding you back. If you are not getting the right results, something is holding you back. If you are not meeting the right people, something is responsible for not making it happen. If you are still stuck in your past, something is standing in your way. If you are not happy, something is stealing your happiness away from you.

The question is, ‘What is holding you back?’ Why are you not moving forward in your life? Why are you not where you want to be? Why are you not making progress in your career?

The truth is: You are the one holding yourself back. Stop blaming other people for your life. You are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your dreams.

No one on this planet can hold you back, but you. No one can stop you from running your race, but you.

You are not getting the right results because you are not doing the right things. You are not running your own race. You are not doing what you love to do. You are not being true to yourself. You are hiding behind perfection. You are telling yourself false stories about your life, about your situation. You are not hanging out with the right people.

You are holding yourself back because you are still living in the past. Even when life has moved on. Even when change is running faster than the fastest person in the world. You are still attached to your past failures.

You are holding yourself back because your mind is flooded with negative thoughts. You are holding yourself back because you don’t believe in what you can do. You don’t believe in yourself.

But you can change everything. You can change your life by doing the right things, by thinking the right thoughts, by hanging out with the right people. You can change your life by changing how you treat yourself.

You can move your life forward when you move forward. You can. Because nothing is holding you back. You are the one holding yourself back. If you want to change your life, you have got to change your thoughts. The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to do it?’

How To Reset Your Life

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

If you don’t like what is going on in your life, it is your responsibility to look within you. Do not blame it on others. Do not blame it on your family people. Yes, where we are can affect how we do things in life.

But we are responsible for what we do, what we think, and how we feel.

If you do not like your life, reset it.

If you do not like your work, reset it.

If you do not like where your life is going, reset it.

Because life is about starting again. To start again is to hit the reset button. To hit the reset button is to wake up.

Reset means doing something again. Trying something again.

Stuck means staying where you are. Not trying anything at all. Not growing at all. Just doing the same thing every day.

To hit your own reset button, don’t live in your past. Because ‘the past cannot tell you who you are, but it can give you clues about which future will provide you with the most freedom to be entirely yourself.’

When you hit your own reset button, you can learn from your past, but do not stay there.

Share your passion with people who can help you. Do not share your dreams with dream killers. And be willing to learn from your supporters.

Because ‘when you share passion, play together, and are vulnerable in your conversations, you you get to know each other in a way that isn’t otherwise possible. You build bonds of trust, and you want to do more together because it makes you feel more alive. … together, you can take more risks that wouldn’t be possible alone, because you each bring your best to the process.’

Do not waste your time. Remember, you are starting again. You are restarting your life, your success engine. Be with people who are pursuing what you are going after.

‘When you make genuine connections with like-minded people, those connections often develop into honest, authentic relationships, and magic can happen.’

The question is, ‘Are you making the right connections with the right people?’ If you are, keep on keeping on!
