Are You Doing You?

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

You are alive to do you, to create a better you. If that is not what you are doing today, right now, you are stealing from your own future.

Do not forget that your future is waiting for you to do something. If what you are doing now is not getting you closer to your future, if you are not in the right race, it is never too late to go back.

If you can go back, you can start again. If you have the courage to look yourself in the mirror, if you have the courage to be honest with yourself, you are well on your way to greatness. You are well on your way to your success.

Before you say, ‘I am done. It is not for me. I am not going to make it, think about why you are doing what you are doing.’

Then ask yourself, ‘Why am I doing what I am doing? Why am I in it? Am I doing it for me, or am I doing it for others?’

If you are not doing what you are doing for you, then you are not doing you. You are doing others. You are not creating for yourself. You are creating for others.

Do not let that be you. Because you are here to write your own story.

The question is, ‘Are you doing you?’

Why You Are Not Growing And What You Can Do About It

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Life is not going to give you what is not for you. Life will give you what is yours.

So if you want to see more blessings in your life, then go out there and do some more work. Go out there and get things done.

If you want to be happy, then work really hard to occupy your mind with positive thoughts. Do not focus on negative things. Do not surround your life with people who are not living.

Do not let what you know stop you from knowing more, from learning from other people. Trust yourself. Trust what you are doing, what you know. But do not stop there.

Because to learn more is to keep moving. To stay fit is to keep going. You do not have to wait for the right time to start living your life. You do not have to wait for other people to give you permission to live your life.

Let go of negative people, people who are not for you, people who want you to fail, people who want you to be like them, people who are just going through life, who are not getting better. Let them go.

You do not need them in your life. You need people who are better than you are. You need people who are going to lift you up, even when you are tired, even when you do not want to do anything.

You need lifters, not downers. You will not succeed in your life if you do not surround yourself with people who are getting better every day.

You will get better only if you are willing to take a different direction. Remember, if you do not change, nothing is going to change.

So if you want to take your own leap of faith, then it is time to say ‘no’ to what is not working. It is time to say ‘yes’ to courage.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to do it?’
