Life Is Not About Speed. It Is About This

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Life is precious. Life is a gift, a gift from God. Life is not about speed. It is more than that.

Life is bigger than us. It is bigger than you. We know that. You know it.

We can’t take care of everything. We can’t control everything. We can’t control life. But we can control our lives.

How do we control our lives? Simple. By taking care of things we can take care of. By taking care of our thoughts. By taking care of ourselves. By taking care of where we are. By taking care of what we are doing. And by taking care of our choices.

Do not forget that life is about choices. You are responsible for your choices.

Whatever you get, take it. Because you are responsible for your choices.

If you do not like what is going on in your life, if you are not happy, take action to make things better. That is the only thing you can do for yourself.

And it is not coming from anyone. But you. Do not ignore it. Do not put it away. Do not try to talk yourself out of it. It is not going to go away.

Remember, nothing changes by itself. If you want change, act. If not, then don’t.

Your Time Will Come

There is time for everything. Do not get frustrated. Pay attention to what you are doing. Keep doing what you are doing, no matter how hard. If you do not give up on yourself, if you do not give up on your dreams, your time will come.

In the words of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, ‘A definite span of time has been appointed for all of nature’s happenings. Nothing can come into being or frutify before that appointed time.’

‘No matter what is going on in your life, if you do not say no to yourself, if you do not say no to your dreams, if you just keep doing, your time will come.

If you don’t listen to doubters, if you don’t listen to naysayers, if you ignore the noise, if you keep working, if you keep loving your work, your appointed time will come.

Do not give up. Do not say, ‘I can’t do this. This is too hard for me. It is not for me.’ Instead, focus all your energy, all your attention, and all your time on what is possible.

When you focus on what is possible, things become easier to deal with.

Before I leave you, when things are tough, remember why you are doing it.
