What You Should Know About Self-Doubt

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

‘Self-doubt is what happens when you know who you are, but don’t trust who you are. To trust yourself, you must live your truth.’- Katie Horwitch

Self-doubt is a dream-killer. It is not good for you. It is not good for us because, according to Katie, ‘Self-doubt makes us believe our successes depend on a very specific set of factors and bullet points lining up just like so, but success is not a list to be crossed off.’

‘Self-doubt is a sign we’re losing our footing in who we are. We begin to believe we don’t have any power, when in fact, we have all the power. We’ve just forgotten.’

‘Self-doubt without boundaries can reshape the core of who you are.’ But if you listen to your self-doubt, you can take advantage of it. Because you can set yourself free if you know how to use it to your own advantage.

If you have the gut to listen to what you are hearing from within, ‘self-doubt is change and growth knocking at your door, a feeling that’s meant to be acknowledged and felt through.’

If you really want to be your Self, ‘you must live your truth. And to live your truth means trusting it.’ The question is, ‘Do you trust your truth?’

As always, you are more, not less!

How To Make Peace With Your Life

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Love your life, no matter what. Do not compare your life to other people. Do not do it. Instead of looking at what other people are doing, why not take a massive action to change things in your own life?

Instead of thinking negatively about yourself, instead of doubting yourself, why not focus on what God has done for you?

Because God has done a whole lot for you. The fact that you are still here, still doing, still creating, it is enough to be grateful for. Gratitude is everything. When it comes to making peace with ourselves, gratitude is everything.

When you are grateful for what you have, more will come to you. When you are grateful for what God has done for you, nothing can stop you from achieving more things in your life.

You can’t achieve more in your life if you are not at peace with yourself. If you are at war with yourself, if you are not true to yourself, success is almost impossible to achieve. Because success follows peace, not war. Peace follows love, not hate. Peace follows people who are happy, who are doing the hard things, the things that other people don’t want to do. Success is not going to come to you if you do not have the right place for it.

Why is that? Because it is hard to create a great life if you are not at peace with your life, if you are not at peace with your brain, if you are not at peace with your boss, with yourself.

You cannot create a better world for yourself if you are not at peace with yourself, if you are not happy for other people, if you are not happy for yourself, if you don’t love yourself, if you are always disrespecting yourself.

You cannot live a great life if you are always looking at what other people are doing. Look, if you want to make peace with yourself, with your life, you must focus on your inner self. Because peace comes from within you. If you are not at peace with yourself, you are not going to be at peace with other people.

The question is, ‘Are you at peace with yourself?’
