If You Are Scared Of Your Own Reality, You Must Read These Quotes

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes, Personal Development

If you do not have the courage to face your own reality, the life you are creating, these quotes are for you.

According to Brianna Wiest,

‘Some people show you what’s possible if you keep going, and others show you what’s possible if you give up.’

‘Your ability to create resides in the millisecond that is right in front of you. The more time you spend fixated on what’s way behind or far ahead, the more you surrender your power.’

‘Even steps backward are part of the dance. Trust that something vital was learned and found within these experiences. Trust that something crucial came to be.’

‘You aren’t being asked to just get past this moment, to only endure. You’re being asked to transform through it. Life is giving you a chance to swell to a wholeness greater than you previously conceived, Say thank you.’

‘Don’t shrink your life to meet your comfort zone; expand your vision to meet your standard.’

‘You don’t have to change your entire life overnight. Just do one thing a little better than you did yesterday. Then do it again.’

‘Focus on how your life feels rather than how you imagine it looks. That’s where your true journey begins.’

‘You are meant for what you want at the deepest level of yourself.’

‘Determine how you’d actually like to spend your today. Every other answer will be found in that same knowing space.’

‘The stronger you get, the stronger you are. The more you learn, the better you become. The more you build, the more you have. The more you become, the more your life expands. Every step sets you a little more free.’

Being scared of your own reality is not the answer. The answer is facing it.

As always, you are more, not less!

What You Should Know About A Controlling Person

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes, Personal Development

Freedom is life. It is everything. If you are not free, you are not living. Freedom is more than just walking around.

Freedom is when you have the power to control your life, when you have the courage to do what you love to do. Freedom is when you are comfortable with yourself. It is not when you are under the control of another person.

A controlling person, according to Dr. Lisa Aronson Fontes, ‘often feels stronger when he makes his partner feel powerless and ashamed.’

‘A controlling person asserts power by setting rules and micromanaging his partner’s everyday life.’

‘A controlling man might accuse his partner of flirting or being involved sexually with friends or coworkers.’

‘A controlling person feels threatened when his partner’s life doesn’t revolve entirely around his own.’

‘A controlled person cannot reach her full potential.’

‘A controlling man tries to become the only authority in the house and encourages children to disrespect their mother.’

‘The controlling person defines reality. If he says it’s ‘love,’ then it’s ‘love,’ even if it feels like control.’

‘A controlling person communicates: ‘If you cared about us a couple, you wouldn’t make problems.’ Women keep silent to avoid making waves.’

‘Controlling people often consider themselves victims, evoking their partner’s pity and compassion.’

‘It is difficult for controlling men to change, But staying the same is also difficult.’

No matter what you are going through in your life, remember that ‘you are the one who decides how much is too much.’

As always, you are not a victim; you are a victor. Stay safe!
