Your life is your life to live. Your life is your life to celebrate. Your life is your responsibility.

If you are not in charge of your life, you will never achieve your full potential. You will never stop chasing your dreams.

If someone else is doing the driving, then you are not going to get to where you really want to be.

If you are not in charge of your life, then who is doing the thinking for you? Who is making your decisions concerning your life? Who is doing the work for you?

Look, if you want to experience a different life, you have got to take your life back. You can’t afford to be a bystander in your own life.

To win, you must play in the game of life. You must get your hands dirty. You must not be afraid to confront yourself.

You must be your own supporter. Do not wait for everything to be perfect before you fly. Do not focus on what is missing, what you do not have, what you can’t do. Don’t live in your past. Because living in the past is not being in charge. You are in charge of your life when you live in the present.

You are in charge of your life when you have the courage to walk away from what is not working for you. You are in charge of your life when you have the power to face difficult challenges, when you have the courage to face your fears.

You are in charge of your life when you focus on possibilities, not limitations. You are in charge of your life when you have the faith to believe in yourself when others don’t.

And you are in charge of your life when you have the courage to say, ‘I do not know everything.’ Above all, you are in charge of your life when you are comfortable with yourself, no matter what.

The question is, ‘Are you in charge of your life?

How To Handle A Challenging Situation

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

How you react to what is going on in your life is yours. But just know that you can’t control everything. No one can, no matter how smart, successful.

We can’t control everything. We can’t control what is happening around us. But we can control who we are. We can control what we say. We can control what we do. And we can control what we do next.

Is that all? No, it is not all. When you are faced with a challenging situation, the first thing to do is to stay calm. Do not freak out. Because freaking out is not going to help you. It is going to make you even more confused.

The second thing you can do is to know what is going on, why is it happening? Do not ask, ‘Why is it happening to me?’ When you know what is going on, you can deal with it. You can manage it.

You can change what you are saying about what you are doing, or what you are saying about where you are. For example, if your boss is not a good boss, if your manager is a joke, you can say something like, ‘They are just different. I need time to understand who they are.’

When you change what you say about your situation, you will start to create a new life for yourself.

Your life will start to take a whole new shape. Because words are powerful. Words are powerful. They can make you a champion. And they can also create a loser out of you. It is up to you.

If you want to experience a positive life, stop using negative words to describe yourself. If you want to experience a positive life, start using positive words to tell your own story.

When you are faced with challenging things, don’t ask yourself, ‘Why me?’ Instead, ask yourself, ‘Why not me?’

Why not you?
