Gratitude Matters

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

You are grateful not because things are perfect in your life. You are grateful because things are not perfect. You are grateful for your life, for what you have, for what is going well, for what is not going well.

You are grateful not because you are perfect, but because you are still alive to make things better, to improve yourself. You are grateful for your life not because you have everything, but because you are still here to chase what you want for yourself.

You are grateful for your life because life is a gift. Life is love. You are grateful because you have the courage to face what you are not comfortable with. You are grateful for your life because you are getting better every day. And you are grateful for your life because you still have a day or two to write your own story.

Before you go, no matter what you are facing right now, if you want to defeat it, choose gratitude. Because gratitude matters.

Why Making Mistakes Is Good For You

‘When you realize a mistake wasn’t that big of a deal … then it wasn’t that big of a deal.’- Lia Garvin

If we are to grow, making mistakes is the way forward. Mistakes are important. They are important because we are all learners.

Mistakes are important. Because you do not know everything. Remember that the end of one thing is the beginning of another one.

When you start something new, because you have not done it before, your way forward is going to be through making mistakes.

You can’t avoid making mistakes. When you make yours, remember that it is not about you. It is about what you are doing. It has nothing to do with you. But it has everything to do with what you are doing.

If you want to learn, you must accept making a mistake as part of the game. If you want to improve your life, make yourself vulnerable. That is, when you make a mistake, do not make it about you. Because it is not.
