How To Reset Your Life

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

If you don’t like what is going on in your life, it is your responsibility to look within you. Do not blame it on others. Do not blame it on your family people. Yes, where we are can affect how we do things in life.

But we are responsible for what we do, what we think, and how we feel.

If you do not like your life, reset it.

If you do not like your work, reset it.

If you do not like where your life is going, reset it.

Because life is about starting again. To start again is to hit the reset button. To hit the reset button is to wake up.

Reset means doing something again. Trying something again.

Stuck means staying where you are. Not trying anything at all. Not growing at all. Just doing the same thing every day.

To hit your own reset button, don’t live in your past. Because ‘the past cannot tell you who you are, but it can give you clues about which future will provide you with the most freedom to be entirely yourself.’

When you hit your own reset button, you can learn from your past, but do not stay there.

Share your passion with people who can help you. Do not share your dreams with dream killers. And be willing to learn from your supporters.

Because ‘when you share passion, play together, and are vulnerable in your conversations, you you get to know each other in a way that isn’t otherwise possible. You build bonds of trust, and you want to do more together because it makes you feel more alive. … together, you can take more risks that wouldn’t be possible alone, because you each bring your best to the process.’

Do not waste your time. Remember, you are starting again. You are restarting your life, your success engine. Be with people who are pursuing what you are going after.

‘When you make genuine connections with like-minded people, those connections often develop into honest, authentic relationships, and magic can happen.’

The question is, ‘Are you making the right connections with the right people?’ If you are, keep on keeping on!

Face Your Fears. Don’t Hide Behind Perfection

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

We don’t want to be perfect. We are scared. We don’t want to face the elephant in the room.

Look, if you want to grow, it is not going to come from anywhere. It is going to come from what you are avoiding.

To conquer your fear, you must face it. Start small. Try something new. Meet new people. Do something that is outside of your comfort zone. No matter how you feel about it, it is only going to get better.

Do not wait anymore. You have a lot to do. Waiting is not one of them. According to Mary Poffenroth, ‘When we wait to share our work or ourselves witht the world until perfection is reached, we’ll always be waiting. Perfection is desirable because it feels safe.’

Go for progress. Perfection is a temporary fix to a long-term problem. Do not do that. It is better to fail at something than it is to get stuck.

Whatever it is that you are trying to complete, do one small thing every day. The more you do, the closer you get to where you are going.

The question is, ‘Will you?’

As always, you are more, not less!
