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.

Are You True To Yourself?

The question is, ‘Are you really true to yourself?’ Are you? Are you living your own life? Or are you trying to be like the next person? Are you chasing your dreams? Or are you doing something that other people are doing? Are you trying to fit in? Or are you working really hard to improve yourself?

Life is tough enough. If you are going to be yourself, to be true to yourself, you have got to have a thick skin. You have got to be willing to stand alone. You are not going to live like other people, work like other people. You are going to be you, no matter what.

You are true to yourself when you are not ashamed of your past. In fact, you are proud of your past failures. They made you who you are today. Without your past learning moments, you wouldn’t be where you are now. So celebrate your past, not reject it.

‘Failures are learning moments.’

You are true to yourself when you know that you are not going to be perfect, that you are not going to get everything right, that you are going to make mistakes, and that you will learn from your mistakes.

You are true to yourself when you do the things that make you happy, the things that bring joy into your life.

You are true to yourself when you have the courage to look yourself in the mirror and say, ‘I love who I am.’
