Simplification Is Not About Letting Go. It Is About This

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Simplification is about what you want to achieve in your life. It is not about what you want to give away.

It is making things better. It is not about letting things go. It is about letting good things into your life. Yes, it can also be about letting bad things leave your life.

Yes, if you want to create room for growth, you have got to let some things leave your life.

You can simplify your life by being true to yourself. Because things are easier to manage when we are real to ourselves.

You can simplify your life by paying attention to what is not working for you. When you pay attention to what is not working, then you will know where to focus your resources.

Simplification is about making things better for yourself. It is letting go of bad friends, fake friends. It is about making room for growth in your life.

Simplification is about going back to what matters to you. When you are after what you love, when you are after what is important to you, you feel alive.

Before you go, remember this: ‘If you want to create a better life for yourself, you must simplify your life. If you want to get things done, more things done, spend more quality time with your loved ones, you have got to simplify your life.’

So what are you doing to simplify your life today?

You cannot make yourself happy, you cannot achieve your goals unless you stop making excuses. Why do we make excuses? Why do we run away from opposition? Why do we hide behind excuses? Are we helping ourselves? Or are we harming ourselves? Think about it.

We make excuses to cover our fears. It is easier to do than to face our fears. It is easier to do than to face our circumstances. If you want to grow, if you want to move yourself closer to your dreams, you MUST stop making excuses. Because you cannot live peacefully while making excuses. You cannot get better while making excuses. You cannot make yourself happier while making unnecessary excuses. If you want to grow, you must stop it. Excuses kill dreams. They stuck people where they are. And they can stuck you if you don’t take action.

Whatever you want to do, then do it. Stop telling yourself how something cannot be done. Start telling yourself how it can be done. Stop making excuses for yourself. Start confronting your demons. Start standing up for yourself. Start thinking for yourself. Because when you think for yourself, you can do the impossible. You can change the world around you.

When you face yourself, when you are honest with yourself, when you face your monsters, you get really better. It makes you stronger. And to overcome one monster gives you greater power to overcome the next monster. Remember that life is not without obstacles. It is how you manage them that matters.
