You Are The Master Of Your Destiny

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

Who is the master of your destiny? Who is in charge of your life? Who is in charge of your future? Whether you want to hear it or not, here is the answer: You are!

You are the master of your destiny.

‘We are the masters of our destiny. … You are also in control of your anger, fear, resentment, guilt, and shame- and ultimately your own happiness or unhappiness. It’s a choice you have the power to make.‘- Russ Whitney

Before you blame others, look within you.

As always, you are more, not less!

Give Yourself Permission To Be At Home With Yourself

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

Wherever you are, be there. ‘Give yourself permission to feel and connect, as not everything is a joke. There’s a time to tell the truth, to be serious. Connect to the people who surround you, the environment, and the mood.’

It is okay to feel your feelings. When people are feeling their feelings, be there. Do not ignore them. Do not try to change them. They don’t want you to change them. They don’t want you to tell them how to feel their feelings.

All they want from you is your presence. When you are there, be there. When you are there, just listen. ‘Just because someone seems fearless and brave and untouchable doing what they do doesn’t mean they are.’

If you want to know what people are going through, be there for them, not against them.
