What Is Life About?

What is life? What is it about? Is it about you? Is it about what you have? Is it about what you do?

It is about being there for yourself. Life is about taking care of yourself. It is not about Ignoring other people.

According to Tom Oliver, ‘Life is not about being the best in everything and trying to please everyone. It’s about pleasing yourself first. … When you do that, you’re in the best position to help others and make your biggest and best contribution to society, humanity, and this planet.’

Do not even try to please everyone. It is not going to work. Instead of trying to make everyone happy, why not please yourself first. Remember who you are.

In the words of Dr. Grace Lordan, ‘Never trade authenticity for approval.’ Why? Because you are good enough for yourself.

Accept Responsibility For Your Growth

If you are not growing, if you are not increasing in your life,
it means you are avoiding something.
If you are not growing in your life, in your career,
it means you are not doing something right.
If you are always meeting the wrong people,
it means you are always thinking the wrong thoughts.

You can change your situation. You can change your life.
But to do that, you must change something. You must change your thoughts.
You must change how you see yourself. 
Why is that? Because you can't grow more than your self-perception.
You can't do more than your thoughts. You can't create more than your thoughts.
Do not forget that your thoughts are responsible for your actions.

If you want to take your life to a new level, you must learn how to 
accept responsibility for your growth. 
Do not forget that you cannot get what you do not control. 
Take control of your life. That is why it is your life.
If you do not have the courage to control it, do not worry,
someone else is coming to help you. I hope that is not where you want to be.

Do not wait for people to lift you up. It is your responsibility to lift yourself up,
then people will join you. People will follow you. People will do what you want them to do.
If you are in a leadership position, people don't care how much you know. 
All they want to see is action. If you can show them what you are capable of, they will
show you what they can do for you.

If you want other people to believe in you, you must first show them what you can do.
To do that, you must be the driver of your life.
Because you cannot control what doesn't belong to you. Take charge of your life,
so that you can control it.
