How To Rise To The Top

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Where are you now? What are you doing? Do you like what you are doing? If you don’t like it, what are you doing to lift yourself up?

What are you doing to get to your own next level? Or, are you waiting for other people to wake you up?

No, That is wrong. If you are serious about taking charge of your life, if you are serious about making a difference in your life, you have to start where you are, with what you have.

Because no one is going to give you what you want. You have got to go after what you want.

Do not wait for the perfect time, or to have the perfect tools to start. You have got to start now, where you are, with what is available.

Stop waiting for people. Stop waiting for the right time. Why is that? Because the right time to do anything is right now, not tomorow. Right now is all you have to make a difference in your life.

Maybe you are waiting to get your MBA before you put your thoughts to work. Do not go there. Do not do that to your destiny. Because people are counting on you. People are waitimg for you to make it in life. People are praying for you. People are rooting for you. Because when you make it, then you can ‘open a page for another person.’

Where are you now? What are you doing now? Do you like where you are? Do you like what you are doing? If not, what are you doing to improve the situation?

To do that, to open a page for another person, you have got to give yourself a start in life.

You give yourself a start when you don’t wait for the perfect time to launch your life, to make a difference, to do what others don’t, and to see what others can’t.

You give yourself a start in life when you are humble, when you are proud of what you are doing right now, no matter how low.

Because you know that where you are going is not going to happen if you do not take where you are now seriously.

Because you know that where you are right now is the foundation. It is the ticket to where you want to go. Because it is.

Stand Up For Yourself: The Courage To Pursue Your Dreams

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

‘Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for something else.’- Maya Angelou

Who told you that? Who told you that you don’t have what it takes to live your life? Who told you that you can’t do what you want to do in your life? Who told you that you are too young to pursue your dreams? Who told you that you don’t have the right qualifications to get you through the door? Who told you that you are too old to go after what you want to achieve for yourself?

Who told you?

Look, people have the right to talk, to say anything. But they don’t have the right to change your destination.

Do not focus on what they are saying about your dreams. Instead of paying attention to what they are saying, why not get to work? Why not use your power to change your life?

You can do it. Because you can do it. Because you have what it takes to do what you want to do. Do not let fear stop you from living your life. Do not let people talk you out of your dreams.

Remember who you are. You are a child of God. You are here to please God, not to please people. You are here to represent God, not to listen to what people are saying about your dreams.

Do not worry about what people are saying. Your dreams are from God. They are not from people. They are not from your friends. They are not from your coworkers.

You are responsible for your dreams, not your friends.

If you don’t know what to do, ask God for help. According to the Bible, God says, ‘Do not fear, for I am with you.’ When in doubt, just remember that.

Remember that, with God, you are courageous enough to face your life. You are courageous enough to get things done.

Without courage, we are done. We are not going to be able to do anything big in life.

No success will come to you without you having the courage to fail, to make mistakes.

You are not going to be able to achieve greatness in your life if you do not have the courage to face your fears, if you do not have the courage to embrace failure.

You are not going to be able to create a better life for yourself if you do not have the courage to embrace creativity, if you are afraid to try new things.

If you want to keep going, if you want to add value to your life, if you want to get ahead, you must face your fears.

The question is,’Do you have the courage to face your fears?’
