Courage Is Everything

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Courage has power. It takes courage to live our lives. Without it, we are not going anywhere. It takes courage to face yourself, to love yourself, to do what you are not comfortable with. It takes courage to say what you really want to say. It takes courage to love, expecially those who have done things that we don’t stand for, things that are not who we are.

It takes courage to chase your dreams. It takes courage to reject something that is going to make your life miserable. It takes courage to walk away from what you are comfortble with. It takes courage to stand for something that is really unpopular, something that a lot of people are for, but you are not. It takes courage to walk away from a high-paying job that doesn’t fit who you are, what you want.

When you are courageous, you can do anything. It doesn’t mean playing reckless games. It mean playing value-based games. When you take a stand, the world will follow. Because it is your own way of telling the world who you are, what you can take, and what you can’t take. If not, the world will tell you who you are not.Do not accept it. Because it is not you.

How To Handle A Challenging Situation

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

How you react to what is going on in your life is yours. But just know that you can’t control everything. No one can, no matter how smart, successful.

We can’t control everything. We can’t control what is happening around us. But we can control who we are. We can control what we say. We can control what we do. And we can control what we do next.

Is that all? No, it is not all. When you are faced with a challenging situation, the first thing to do is to stay calm. Do not freak out. Because freaking out is not going to help you. It is going to make you even more confused.

The second thing you can do is to know what is going on, why is it happening? Do not ask, ‘Why is it happening to me?’ When you know what is going on, you can deal with it. You can manage it.

You can change what you are saying about what you are doing, or what you are saying about where you are. For example, if your boss is not a good boss, if your manager is a joke, you can say something like, ‘They are just different. I need time to understand who they are.’

When you change what you say about your situation, you will start to create a new life for yourself.

Your life will start to take a whole new shape. Because words are powerful. Words are powerful. They can make you a champion. And they can also create a loser out of you. It is up to you.

If you want to experience a positive life, stop using negative words to describe yourself. If you want to experience a positive life, start using positive words to tell your own story.

When you are faced with challenging things, don’t ask yourself, ‘Why me?’ Instead, ask yourself, ‘Why not me?’

Why not you?
