How To Stay Ahead In Your Own Life

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

If you want to stay ahead in your own life, you have got to do what you are good at. You have got to do what other people don’t want to do. And you must do it really well. You must do it way better than other people.

If not, you are not going to win. You must not wait for anyone to tell you what to do. You don’t need permision from anyone. Because you can do it on your own. Because you have what it takes to do it, to get ahead, and to stay ahead.

It is one thing to get ahead in life. And it is another thing to stay ahead in your own life.

To stay ahead, to stay there, to keep growing, to keep moving forward, you must go within you. You must reconnect with your true self. Because without your true self, you are not going anywhere.

That is why you shouldn’t wait for anyone to come and help you get ahead in your own life.

It is your responsibility to do what you want to do for yourself. It is your responsibility to make your life how you want to make it.

Don’t wait. No one is coming to rescue you. If you are serious about staying ahead in your life, you must ‘go into yourself.’

How To Keep Growing

Growth never stops. It is a journey. If you want to keep growing, you must keep doing.

You must keep becoming. You must keep challenging yourself. Because we get better when we do more, when we focus on what is really important to us.

Do things that you have not done before. That is where learning is.

Do not settle for less. Doing less is not a strategy. It is going to keep you where you are.

To grow yourself, to expand your life, according to Marthy Neumeier, ‘ … always aim slightly beyond your current abilities. … Focus on the metaskills that will drive your professional success.’

And you can do that. All you need is focus. When you focus on what you are doing, you can do more than you are doing right now.

Just get out of your safe zone. Take on things that are not within your safe zone. If you really want to get to your next level, according to Marthy Neumeier, ‘take on projects and responsibilities that lie outside your comfort zone.’
