How To Get Back Up

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

Things are going to happen to you that you can’t control. Things are going to shake who you are.

When they happen, don’t stay down. If you want to make progress in your life, you must get back up.

To get back up, according to Anthony J. Klarica, you must ‘break challenges down into manageable parts to help address them.’ If you want to be successful at what you are doing, don’t do everything at the same time. Focus on what can make a difference in your life.

‘Be prepared for injuries, setbacks and disappointments, appreciating that they too are part of the journey.’ Life is full of obstacles. When they happen, take them as learning opportunities.

‘Respect the fine line between winning and losing, and learn how to lose.‘ Life is a testing ground. It is your laboratory. It is your own personal university. When you fall, get back up.

When you fail, do it again. Because it is the only way to win. If you want to win more, you must fail more. Remember, success comes from failure. If you want to win, learn how to fail.

‘Reflect on resilient stories from others you can relate to in order to sustain your own resilience.’

Your journey is special to you. If you are having trouble making progress, reach out for help. People are willing to help. But you must first help yourself. You do that by reaching out to them.

Remember, resilience is about how you handle your situation. It is also about how you carry yourself.

When you are down, don’t stay down. Get back up. When you fall, get back up. And keep going. Be patient. You will get to where you want to be.

As always, you are more, not less!

The Power Of Things That Matter

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes, Personal Development

Life is too short. If you are not doing what matters to you, to your future, you are wasting it.

If you don’t want to regret your life, according to Joshua Becker, ‘We choose well. We set aside lesser pursuits to seek meaning in our lives. And we do it every single day.’

We must spend our time with people who mattter, on things that matter to us, to others, and ‘on things that meet the needs of others.‘

We must define what we want to do with our lives. Because ‘when distraction becomes a lifestyle, we lose control over the life we are living.’

Do not wait for the right time to start your life. Every day is a new day. If you want to own it, you must use it. And you must use it really well. ‘If we wait to be healthy, perfect, and prepared in every way, we’ll never accomplish anything. Everything valuable that has ever been done by someone with flaws and wounds.’

If we do not want to waste our lives, then ‘let’s run toward our problems. Let’s face them. And let’s do something about them.’ Because if you don’t, you are only making it worse, not better.

Doing something is better than not doing anything. Yes, you will make mistakes. That is okay. Because you are not in the game to make things perfect. You are in the game to make things better, to make progress, not to be perfect. ‘No one is so guilty or so damaged that they can’t make something different of their future and do something that is meaningful in the world.’

You can if you will. You think you are powerless. You think you are not smart enough to change your life. No, you are enouh for your life. You can do something about your life. You are not who you think you are. You are more than that.

You can do something about where you are. you can do something about where you want to be. But ‘you can’t change the past, but you can move beyond it in hope of a better future.’

Because you are in charge of your future. No one is good enough to lead your life. But you are.

If you do not ‘create a turning point for yourself‘, you will never move past where you are. And you will never achieve your dreams.

That is not you. Do not do that to your precious life. Do not do that to your work. Your work matters. You are not doing it for yourself. You are doing it for others. ‘Love your work because your work is love.’ Because ‘your work is a way of showing love to others.’

Remember, your work is a way of loving God. So if you want God to love you back, then you must do your work really well.

As always, remember, you are more, not less!
