‘We can’t change much if we won’t risk much.’- Bob Goff

If you want to succeed in the future, you must embrace change. You must take risks.

As a human being, you love where you are. You are enjoying it. You are comfortable with what you are doing.

Yes, you are enjoying it. You are loving it, but you are not growing. You are not moving forward.

If you want to experience new things in your life, you have got to take risks. Because what you are looking for is not where you are. It is not there. It is on the other side of the bridge of life.

So if you want to get to the other side of the bridge of life, you have got to walk across the bridge.

I am not saying you shouldn’t enjoy where you are. That is not what I am saying. You know what I mean? I am talking about change. The thing that we hate talking about.

But without it, you are done. Without change, growth is not going to happen. And with change comes uncertainty. I think this is why people do not want to get out of where they are.

Because of uncertainty, people will prefer to stay where they are. But is avoiding change going to do it for you? I do not think so.

So, whatever you are doing right now, you must focus on it. Don’t copy other people. Learn from them. Do not try to be who you are not. Because you are you. So why not enjoy the gift of life?

How To Say Yes To Your Life

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

When you choose yourself, it means a yes to your life.

Saying yes to your life is about being comfortable in your own skin, no matter where you are.

When you say yes to your life, you are saying no to distractions, to anger, to resentment, to failure, to fear, to negative people, fake friends.

Saying yes to your life starts with you. When it comes to embracing your life, no matter what you have gone through in your life, it is your responsibility to reset your life, to reposition yourself for greatness.

Beause you own your life. If you are not for your life, no one is going to be for it. And if you are against yourself, no one can help you.

That is why you must say yes to your life like your life depends on it. Because your life really depends on it.

Saying yes to your life starts with being honest with yourself. In the words of Gezim Gashi, ‘Being honest with yourself about the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be will allow you map your action steps.’

When you say yes to your life, you are in a whole new place in your life. You are a different human being. It means you are willing to do whatever it takes to take your life to the next level.

When you say yes to your life, it means you know what you want, how to get it, and where to get it. It means you know what is going on in your world. You are not too far from your own reality.

Because, according to Gezim, ‘the more you know about your current reality, the more likely it is you’ll be able to map your way to your vision.’

That is what saying yes to your life is about. It doesn’t mean you are better than other people. It doesn’t mean you are smarter than other people. It does not mean you are after what other people are doing. And it doesn’t mean you are not going to face issues in the future. You will, but you will know what to do when they do arrive.

Saying yes to your life means you are willing to do whatever it takes to stand up for yourself, no matter what. It means you are comfortable with yourself. It means you don’t have any problem being with yourself. It means you are not going to sell yourself short, no matter what.

Saying yes to yourself means you are not going to settle for anything less than what the Lord has created you to achieve.

If you do not know how to say no to distractions, I want you to remember this: ‘Everything we do is a step towards our best self or away from it, toward some other possible of ourselves.’

So, what are you doing to move your life forward? What are you saying yes to? And what are you saying no to?
