‘When life is stressful, when you have a setback in your finances, or when you’re struggling with depression, don’t let those negative thoughts drown out what God promised.’- Joel Osteen

Things happen. We cannot control everything. We cannot control what other people are going to do to us.

We cannot control what other people are going to say about us. We cannot control what life is going to put in front of us. It is okay.

That is why we are here. We are not here to live a boring life, or to do boring things. We are here to grow, to make a difference.

We can do it. Yes, fear will try to tell you that you are not good enough, that you do not have what it takes to get ahead, that you are too poor to know what you want, or that you are not educated enough.

Fear can say what fear wants to say. But is your own responsibility to stay focused on what really matters to you.

When things are not going well, that is when you should never give up. When you are facing financial issues, that is when you should never give up.

When you are alone, when no one sees you, when no one cares about you, when you are depressed, that is when you should bet even more on yourself.

Because when things are not going well, all you have is you. Do not expect people to cheer you up. They are not going to do it. Why?

Because you have not done anything big yet. But don’t give up. Just keep doing what you are doing. Your time will come.

As always, you are more, not less!

How To Become More Fulfilled

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Fulfillment is not about what you have the power to have. It is about what you have the courage to enjoy.

Fulfillment is not about what you can keep. It is about what you can share with others. Fulfillment is not about how you feel about yourself. It is about how you make others feel about themselves.

Fulfillment is not about possessions. It is about feelings. It is about actions.

You can have everything. But if you can’t enjoy what you have, if you are not happy with what you have, if you still feel empty on the inside, if you never stop searching for more, you are not fulfilled.

Because fulfillment is not about more. It is about less. When it comes to fulfillment, less is better. To make yourself fulfilled every day,

Be grateful for what you have. Stop hunting for more. When it comes to life, less is better. When you are grateful for what you have, more will come to you. But not without work.

Start your day with expectation. Before you live your bed, or your house, tell yourself, ‘Today is going to be a great day?’ With this in your mind, you are ready for the day.

Focus. Do not worry about what is going to happen. Do not worry about your results. Instead of doing that, it pays to focus on what you are becoming.

Becoming is everything. Remember that nothing stays forever. Things are changing. If you want to stay fulfilled in your life, you need to let go of what you cannot control. The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to do it?’
