How To Succeed At Work And Life

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes, Personal Development

Success is work. It means work. If you want to succeed, you must do the work. Success is not going to come to you if you are not willing to do the work, if you are not willing to roll up your sleeves.

To make it in life, according to Josh Altman, ‘Know what you want. Trust your gut. Succeed at anything.’

‘If you want to succeed in life, the key is confidence.’ ‘You have to be ready to identify opportunities, you have to have confidence to make quick decisions and fire when those opportunities arise, and you have to learn from your mistakes and aim for better results in the future.’

‘You can be a success, but only if you train yourself to constantly be creating your own opportunities.’

‘Whatever your background is, whatever your skill set is, you have what it takes to be a success. The first step is to trust yourself.’

‘Learn what you do, then create a life where you’re usually doing the best of what you do.‘

‘If you can’t pick one clear objective you’re trying to get to, you’ll probably go nowhere.’

‘Pick a goal, pursue it, learn it, learn from what goes wrong, and keep pursuing ituntil you get it.’

‘Don’t base your decision of a goal on what seems attainable; base it on the desire that’s going to fuel you to do what it takes to keep going.’

‘If you can’t find the perfect job, work to make the job you have more perfect.’

‘Winning is definitely better than losing, but if you don’t play, that’s just boring.’

‘Make the big, daring choices that are required to elevate our lives out of normalcy. Boring choices may keep you safe and content, but they won’t make you rich, successful, or, in my opinion, truly happy.’

‘When you’re doing a job, don’t focus on the variables outside of your control. Focus on execution, do that job well, and trust that this task is part of a larger strategy you’ve already worked out.’

‘Don’t risk everything you have on an opportunity unless you are absolutely sure it’s the best and only choice.’

Finally, ‘if you keep moving forward and refining your aim, nothing can stop you.’

How To Say Yes To Your Life

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

When you choose yourself, it means a yes to your life.

Saying yes to your life is about being comfortable in your own skin, no matter where you are.

When you say yes to your life, you are saying no to distractions, to anger, to resentment, to failure, to fear, to negative people, fake friends.

Saying yes to your life starts with you. When it comes to embracing your life, no matter what you have gone through in your life, it is your responsibility to reset your life, to reposition yourself for greatness.

Beause you own your life. If you are not for your life, no one is going to be for it. And if you are against yourself, no one can help you.

That is why you must say yes to your life like your life depends on it. Because your life really depends on it.

Saying yes to your life starts with being honest with yourself. In the words of Gezim Gashi, ‘Being honest with yourself about the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be will allow you map your action steps.’

When you say yes to your life, you are in a whole new place in your life. You are a different human being. It means you are willing to do whatever it takes to take your life to the next level.

When you say yes to your life, it means you know what you want, how to get it, and where to get it. It means you know what is going on in your world. You are not too far from your own reality.

Because, according to Gezim, ‘the more you know about your current reality, the more likely it is you’ll be able to map your way to your vision.’

That is what saying yes to your life is about. It doesn’t mean you are better than other people. It doesn’t mean you are smarter than other people. It does not mean you are after what other people are doing. And it doesn’t mean you are not going to face issues in the future. You will, but you will know what to do when they do arrive.

Saying yes to your life means you are willing to do whatever it takes to stand up for yourself, no matter what. It means you are comfortable with yourself. It means you don’t have any problem being with yourself. It means you are not going to sell yourself short, no matter what.

Saying yes to yourself means you are not going to settle for anything less than what the Lord has created you to achieve.

If you do not know how to say no to distractions, I want you to remember this: ‘Everything we do is a step towards our best self or away from it, toward some other possible of ourselves.’

So, what are you doing to move your life forward? What are you saying yes to? And what are you saying no to?
