How To Find Your Purpose

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes, Personal Development

You are alive for a purpose. Go after it every day. If you do not give up, it will come to pass.

To find your purpose, according to Russ Whitney, ‘Don’t live in fear. Live in faith and gratitude. Fill your heart with love and thankfulness for all that you now have so that there is no space left for fear.’

You can be exceptionally kind, loving, giving, and respectful without being a slave to the opinions of others. Accept that other people will disapprove of some of the things you do, and you’ll free yourself to do truly magnificent things.’

‘Life gets better when we make the decision to not worry about what others say about us. If someone talks about you, it’s none of your business. Your job is to keep your side of the fence clean from the perspective of you and the God of your understanding- that’s it.’

‘Step back from your disappointment and reconnect with your passion. Know that there is a positive and effective way forward.’

‘You don’t need anyone’s permission to live a successful life, happy life filled with exactly what you see in your dreams. You don’t need to wish, beg, or plead for a lucky break. You just have to step forward and do it.‘

‘Be in the moment. Let life flow, and things will fall into place. Stay out of tomorrow and don’t bring yesterday into today.’

‘Be grateful first thing in the morning. Find the good in everything all day long. If you don’t have something positive to say, say nothing.’

‘Suit up, show up, and use your gifts. Know what part is yours and what part belongs to the universe. Do your part; the results are out of your hands.’

‘The only person you should compare yourself to is your yourself. Your obligation is to do your very best. Don’t worry about how that compares to someone else.’

‘If you plant a seed, water it for a few days, and then stop, it won’t sprout and you might never have planted it. So keep watering your seeds. Direct your focus again and again toward those things you’re committed to completing.’

As always, you more, not less!

Do You Have The Courage To Love Everything About Yourself?

Yes, that is right! ‘Life is too short to spend it at war with yourself.’ It is too short.

You are not alive to fight war with yourself. You are here to enjoy your life. You are here to work, to write your own story, to make a difference in the world.

To do that, self-love comes first, not last. Because if you don’t love who you are, you won’t be able to do what you are here to do.

That is why loving yourself is the first thing to do for yourself. If you are not loving yourself, you are fighting yourself.

If you are not loving your life, you are regretting it. If you are not in love with who you are, then you are comparing your life to other people’s lives.

If you do not love yourself, you are secretly hating your life.

You are saying things like: ‘Is life even worth living? Why is my life not like other people? Why am I not getting what other people are getting? Why am I not living like other people? Why am I not working like other people? Why am I not earning what other people are earning? Why am I still where I started? What am I doing to myself?’

Stop it. Thinking negatively about yourself is not going to help you. Instead, it is going to keep you where you are.

If you want to move forward in your life, you have got to embrace everything about yourself. You have got to love everything about your life.

You must stop doing things that have no power to lift you up. You must start doing things that have the power to lift you up, to take you to where you want to be.

It starts with self-love.

As always, no matter what you are going through in your life, just remember this: ‘You are more, not less!’
