Is It Really About You?

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Life is more than you. It is more than what you are going through in your life. Whatever it is that is keeping you up at night, that is standing between you and your happiness, that is standing between you and your growth, that is keeping you where you are, you must not take it personally.

Go out there and live your life. Because you are here to live, not to watch. You are here to create your own life. In the words of Iman Oubou, ‘If you’re facing a challenge, consider whether it’s a challenge for only you or for everyone?’

If it is for only you, then ask yourself, ‘What am I missing here? What is going on that I am not paying attention to? How can I make things better?’ Do not beat yourself up. Instead, lift yourself up.

You can make a difference in your life. You can turn things around. Why not now? Why not where you are? And why not with what you have?

When Life Throws Things At Us

For as long as you live your life, nothing is going to be perfect. Do not expect what is perfect from something that is not perfect. Do not expect people to be perfect. And do not expect yourself to be perfect.

Because it is not going to happen. if you want to experience life, a real life, you must forget about being perfect. You must stop talking about creating a perfect world. You must stop thinking about working with perfect people. It is just a dream that will never come true. It is a goal that will never come to fruition.

If you are seeking perfect things from imperfect people, you are just kidding yourself. If you think you can make it happen, then try it. Try it and see what happens.

Maybe you can do it. Maybe you can’t do it. Who knows? Whether you think you can create a better world or not, you are right.

But that is not how life works. Life tests people. For as long as you are here, life will always throw things at you that you can’t stand.

When that happens, life is asking you to step up, to wake up, and to start moving. When life throws things at us, life is asking us to start creating things that we thought were impossible.

When life throw things at us, life is asking us to get back up, to wake up, and to start challenging old beliefs.

When life throws things at us, life is asking us to do more than we are doing now. Life wants us to look at ourselves and say, ‘We will succeed, no matter what.’

If you want to create a better self, a better life, and a better world, you must be willing to absorb whatever life throws at you. If you can, you can win.

The question is, ‘Are you willing to face life?’
