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.

Be Comfortable With Yourself

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

When things are tough, be comfortable with yourself. When you are tired, feel like giving up, be comfortable with yourself. When you are tired of explaining your values to others, those who don’t understand you, be okay with yourself. When people are not who you think they are, be comfortable with yourself. When you are the only person in the room fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves, be comfortable with yourself.

Because people are counting on you. If you are not comfortable with yourself, you won’t be able to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. If you are not able to take a tough stand against a popular but not helpful issue, the world will suffer.

Don’t let that happen. Because being comfortable with yourself means self-love. It means you are okay with yourself, regardless of what is going on in the world. It means you see opportunities, not problems. It means you are happy with what you have. It means you know where you are, what is going on, and what you are going after.

Before you go, remember, being comfortable with yourself is self-love.
