How To Find Your Purpose

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes, Personal Development

You are alive for a purpose. Go after it every day. If you do not give up, it will come to pass.

To find your purpose, according to Russ Whitney, ‘Don’t live in fear. Live in faith and gratitude. Fill your heart with love and thankfulness for all that you now have so that there is no space left for fear.’

You can be exceptionally kind, loving, giving, and respectful without being a slave to the opinions of others. Accept that other people will disapprove of some of the things you do, and you’ll free yourself to do truly magnificent things.’

‘Life gets better when we make the decision to not worry about what others say about us. If someone talks about you, it’s none of your business. Your job is to keep your side of the fence clean from the perspective of you and the God of your understanding- that’s it.’

‘Step back from your disappointment and reconnect with your passion. Know that there is a positive and effective way forward.’

‘You don’t need anyone’s permission to live a successful life, happy life filled with exactly what you see in your dreams. You don’t need to wish, beg, or plead for a lucky break. You just have to step forward and do it.‘

‘Be in the moment. Let life flow, and things will fall into place. Stay out of tomorrow and don’t bring yesterday into today.’

‘Be grateful first thing in the morning. Find the good in everything all day long. If you don’t have something positive to say, say nothing.’

‘Suit up, show up, and use your gifts. Know what part is yours and what part belongs to the universe. Do your part; the results are out of your hands.’

‘The only person you should compare yourself to is your yourself. Your obligation is to do your very best. Don’t worry about how that compares to someone else.’

‘If you plant a seed, water it for a few days, and then stop, it won’t sprout and you might never have planted it. So keep watering your seeds. Direct your focus again and again toward those things you’re committed to completing.’

As always, you more, not less!

How To Grow Through Life

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

‘Do not just go by outward signs; try to reach the meaning behing them.’- Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Why are you judging yourself? Why are you judging your boss, your manager? Why are you judging your friends?

Do not judge people. Because people are going through things. Instead of judging them, why not try to understand where they are coming from?

If done well, it is better than judging them.

Because judging other people is not going to make things better. It is not going to bring people closer to you.

If something is not clear to you, don’t judge. Go to work. Try to understand what is going on. Try to know what the other person is going through. Because you do not know what is going on in their lives.

And people are going through things. Just because they are not talking to you, or talking to others, that doesn’t mean they are not going through things.

If you want to know what is going on in other people’s lives, you have got to know them. To know them, you have got to love them. To love them, you have got to accept them. And to accept them, you have got to see them as human beings.

And to see other people as human beings, you must first see yourself as a human being.

If not, if you do not have the courage to see yourself as you truly are, you will not grow through life. You will go through life.

The question is, ‘Are you growing through life, or are you going through life?’
