Tearing Other People Down Will Never Make You Happy

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

Life is not about tearing other people down. It is not about making other people feel terrible about themselves. It is not about bringing other people down, taking what belongs to them. It is not about thinking negative thoughts about other people.

Life is about loving people. It is about showing them the way. It is about accepting them for who they are, not for what they can do for you.

If you want to get ahead in your own life, tearing other people down won’t get you there.

If you want to be happy in your life, beating other people down won’t get you there.

If you want to get better at what you are doing, tearing other people down won’t do it for you. Instead, it will make you even weaker.

If you want other people to love you, to follow you, to accept you for who you are, don’t tear them down.

That is life! If you don’t love them, they won’t love you. If you don’t care about them, they won’t care about you.

Before you go, remember this: If you want to go far in your life, you have got to learn how to carry other people along. You have got to lift other people up. Why?

Because no one is good enough to know everything.

Where Does Courage Come From?

Where does courage really come from? How courageous are you? What gives you courage?

Is it self-love? What is it?

Whether you can remember what gives you courage or not, we all need it. Because without courage, we are not going to be able to achieve success.

We won’t be able to go through difficult times. We won’t be able to face tough times. We won’t be able to ask for what we want. We won’t be able to live the way we want to live our lives. We won’t be able to express ourselves. We won’t be able to face other people.

So where does courage come from? What is it about?

Courage is not just about facing the demon in front of you. Courage does not come from playing it safe. Courage does not come from hiding who we are. It does not come from trying to be like other people.

Courage does not come from pretending to be who you are not. It doesn’t come from pleasing other people.

Courage, the real one, comes from within. It comes from doing what you are put here on Earth to do. It comes from challenging yourself, from expressing yourself, from being vulnerable.

Courage comes from doing, not from talking.

Courage comes from being real with yourself, from loving yourself, from loving others. Courage comes from living for you, from thinking your thoughts.

Courage comes from forgiving people who have done things to you. It is about being real when others are just acting. It is about saying to yourself, ‘I am enough for me.’ The question is, ‘How courageous are you?’

As always, You are more, not less!
