Prioritize Yourself: The Key To Personal Fulfillment

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Put yourself first. It is your responsibility to put yourself first. Do not be too scared to put yourself first. Do not put yourself last. Do not be too hard on yourself. You are a human being. Beating yourself up is not going to fix your past mistakes.

Putting yourself first means you are not afraid to eat first. It means you are here to live your life to the fullest. It means you are not scared to rest when you are tired.

Yes, rest when you are tired. When you are tired, rest your mind, your body, and soul. When you want to reconnect with yourself, take a break from what you are doing. When you want to enjoy your conversation with yourself, just listen. Be comfortable with what you are hearing.

When you are stressed out, remember who you are. When you are alone, be with yourself. When you are in doubt, trust yourself. When no one believe in you, believe in yourself. When you are scared, do it anyway. Because facing what scares you is the only way forward. Isn’t it?

When Courage Is At War With Fear

Fear says, ‘you are not responsible for your life.’ Courage says, ‘you are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your mistakes. You are responsible for where you are.’

Fear says, ‘when you mess up, blame other people. Courage says, ‘no.’ Courage says, ‘when you mess up, you are responsible for your mess. If you want it to change, you have got to stop blaming other people.’

Fear says, ‘Don’t worry about growth. You are okay where you are.’ But courage says, ‘no.’ Courage says, ‘growth happens when you move, when you have the courage to face your future, to do what is scary, to take risks, to do what is uncomfortable, not when you are stuck in one place.’

Fear says, ‘where you are right now, your comfort zone, is good for your growth.’ Courage says, ‘comfort zone is just comfort zone. When you are comfortable, you are not learning. When you are comfortable, you are not moving; you are just there. You are not stretching yourself. You are not adding value to your life. You are not growing through life. Instead, you are just going through life’

Courage says, ‘Do not be afraid to try what is new, what you do not know. Do not be afraid to challenge yourself, to change your mind, to challenge your assumptions. Because that is how you are going to grow.’

The question is, ‘Do you want to experience a new life?’
