Don’t Forget How Far You Have Come

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

LIfe is a journey. If you are not where you are supposed to be, do not forget how far you have come. Life is not going to be fair to you, but be happy.

Choose your life. Be happy with what you have, what you are doing, and where you are. Whatever you want to do, you can do it. Wherever you want to go, you can get there. Be patient with youself.

Be grateful for what you have. Do not beat yourself up for what you don’t have. You are enough. Love where you are, who you are, and your journey.

Respect who you are, where you are, and what you are becoming. Take care of your life, your career, and your relationships.

Even if things are not going well, you will get there. Remember that life is a journey. Things are going to be okay. You are on your way to your destination. Keep moving forward. Keep going.

Compassion: Why We Need It

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

‘Cultivating compassion begins with self-compassion. … Compassion cannot truly be offered to others until we first offer it to ourselves.’- Janice Marturano

Life is not linear. Things happen. Don’t fight what you are going through in your life. All you can do is be open to where it is taking you.

Be kind to yourself. Do not beat yourself up. Nothing is about you. Do not make things all about you. That is not what self-compassion is about. Self-compassion is about love, care, and respect.

Compassion is good because it ‘reminds us that when we see someone suffering, we are separated from the sufferer by only the thinnest lines of time and circumstance, and we feel a pull to lessen the suffering. … It helps us to understand the interconnections among us. It encourages us to become involved with the well-being of those around us.’

If you want to build a great community, don’t forget those around you. Love them. Treat them with respect. And support them. And they will always support you.
