Do Not Be Against Yourself

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

If God is for you, no one can stop you from moving your life forward. It is very easy to ignore what God has done for you. Do not do that. Because life is about gratitude.

Gratitude says, ‘Thank you. I see you. I am grateful for what you have done for me.’

When you appreciate what God has done for you, you will get more from God. When you say, thank You, Father, you will receive more things from God.

You must be patient. Do not rush God. Because your time is not God’s time. God sees you. Do not be against God’s plan for your life. Do not be against yourself.

You are against yourself when you are impatient, when you think you are not good enough, when you think you are not smart enough, when you give in to fears.

You are against yourself when you don’t love who you are, what you have, when you are always complaining about your life, when you are not happy with yourself, with the things that God has blessed you with.

You are against yourself when you think your dream is too hard to reach, when you think you are not going to be able to make your dream happen.

That is not what life is about. If you don’t see yourself as a powerful person, you won’t be able to create the life you want for yourself.

If you want to elevate your life, you must stop being too scared. You must face yourself, no matter what. If you can face the unknown, the known will come to you.

The Only Way To Gauge How Well You Are Doing

What are you measuring in your life? Are you measuring things that are important to you?

Are you after what is going to change your life? Are you after your happiness, your joy, your own passion?

Are you okay with what is going on in your life? If you are not getting what you want to see in your life, what are you doing to get back to yourself, to feel more alive, to be comfortable with your life?

Or are you just doing what other people are doing? Or are you just trying to pretend that everything is okay in your life? Or are you just living your life to make other people happy? Or are you living for others, but not for yourself?

Or are you comparing yourself to others? What are you doing? Are you being true to yourself?

What are you doing right now? If you don’t know what to do next, according to Brianna Wiest, ‘… the only way to gauge how well you are or not doing is to have the courage to go inward, and to feel. To truly be honest with yourself, to keep going when you don’t feel finished, to let your roots sink deeper when you are in something you want to last. To realize that none of us will ever maintain seamless lives, but we are all capable of having one we are in some proud of. We are all capable of deciding what is worth our efforts, our energy, our fight.’

To know whether things are going well or not, look at what is going on in your life right now?

Do not pretend that everything is going well. If things are not, then seek help. You do that by asking some tough questions.

Ask yourself, ‘What am I doing right now? Is this what I should be doing right now? Is what I am doing getting me closer to my dreams? What should I change that is not helping me? What should I keep doing that is working? Who can help me?’ Do not be too smart to ask for help.

Be real with yourself. That is the only way to be you, to get to where you want to be. If not, you are not going to get what you want.

As always, remember, You are more, not less!
