Stop Chasing What Is Not Chasing You

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Stop chasing what is not chasing you. Your life is more than just running after things that are not going to make you happy. Stop doing things that don’t serve your dreams.

If you want to live a peaceful life, make sure your actions support it. If you want to be happy, make sure your environment supports it.

Pause. Take care of what is important to you in your life. Don’t focus on what is not important to you, to your dreams.

Don’t forget that your time is limited. Do not overuse yourself. Take care of your mind. Because a tired mind is a weak mind. If you are too tired, you are not going to be able to do what is important to you.

Before you start your day, ask yourself, ‘What is important to me today?’

Remind yourself that you are not going to be here forever. Your time is limited. Don’t try to do everything. You are not here to do everything. You are not here to be good at everything. You are here to be good at what is important to you.

If you want to grow, you must make time to think, to focus on yourself.

Are You Playing Your Own Game?

Life is a game. If you want to move forward, if you want to change your life, if you want to create a better future for yourself, you must play your OWN game.

Your game is the only thing that really matters. If you play my game, you are wasting your time.

No matter how easy, how attractive, do not play other people’s games. Do not follow other people’s dreams.

Do you. Do your own dreams. Find ways to make your dreams come alive.

When you are working to make your dreams come alive, when you are playing your game, you are living; you are growing; you are learning.

When you are playing your game, you know what you want. You also know what you do not want. You know what you can do. You also know what you cannot do.

When you are playing your own game, you do not do anything to please anybody.

You live your life based on your values.

When you are playing your own game, you do not lie to yourself. You are dead honest with yourself. You know that lying to yourself is not the way forward. It is the only way to destruction.

When you are playing your own game, you are not afraid to be yourself; you are not afraid to express yourself in your own unique way.

You are just you. ‘You stop being like anyone else entirely.’

And when you are playing your own game, you take 100 percent responsibility for your life. You don’t blame people for where you are. Instead, ‘you start fully embracing the uniqueness that is you.’

If you want to create a better future for yourself, you must embrace yourself. You must treat yourself with love and respect.

Will you?
