Life Is Not About Speed. It Is About This

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Life is precious. Life is a gift, a gift from God. Life is not about speed. It is more than that.

Life is bigger than us. It is bigger than you. We know that. You know it.

We can’t take care of everything. We can’t control everything. We can’t control life. But we can control our lives.

How do we control our lives? Simple. By taking care of things we can take care of. By taking care of our thoughts. By taking care of ourselves. By taking care of where we are. By taking care of what we are doing. And by taking care of our choices.

Do not forget that life is about choices. You are responsible for your choices.

Whatever you get, take it. Because you are responsible for your choices.

If you do not like what is going on in your life, if you are not happy, take action to make things better. That is the only thing you can do for yourself.

And it is not coming from anyone. But you. Do not ignore it. Do not put it away. Do not try to talk yourself out of it. It is not going to go away.

Remember, nothing changes by itself. If you want change, act. If not, then don’t.

How Is Life Treating You?

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

If life is not treating you well. if you are not getting the right results, if you are always beating yourself up, you have got to look into what is going on in your life.

Things are not just happening. They are happening for reasons. They are calling you to pay attention to what is going on, to what is important to you. But we are too busy to listen. We are after work. We are always driving, always moving.

Yes, you can drive yourself to do more, to create more, to live more, and to become more. But you can’t succeed in your own life if you do not have time for yourself.

No one succeeds like that. Life is not really about speed. Life is about care. It is about attention. It is about enjoying what you have, where you are, and what you are doing.

Life is more than speed. If you do not know who you are, for sure, speed is not going to matter when you are done pursuing other people’s dreams.

Speed matters when you are running your own race, when you are taking your time to master what you are doing, when you are not interested in who is behind you or who is ahead of you.

Whatever it is you are tolerating right now, you can change it. Whatever it is you are struggling with right now, this moment, you can take action to change it. Do not wait for another day.

Because the more you tolerate things, especially negative things, the worse they get.

If you want to make things better, no matter what they are, take big actions to change them. You can do it. Don’t wait anymore. Because now is your best time. Why not take it?
