Everyone Is Going Through Something

Be happy with your life. Do not expect your life to be perfect. When you wake up in the morning, be grateful for what God has done for you.

Your life is not going to be different if you are not different. You are not going to be able to find peace in your life if you are after what other people have. You are not going to be able to live a peaceful life if you are not treating other people with love and respect. You are not going to grow if you are not willing to challenge yourself. Your life is not going to change if you don’t have the courage to walk away from negative people. You are not going to be happy with yourself if you think you are not enough.

You have got to stop putting yourself through hell. You can’t change what God has created. You can make your life better. You can do things that can change where you are going. You can change your body, but not your soul. You can try to look like other people, but you can’t change your inner being. You can change what is visible, but you cannot change the invisible. You can change what other people can see, but you cannot change what they cannot see.

Trying to change your life because of other people, it is not good for your life.

Just be you. Because people are going through things that you cannot see, that you cannot touch, that you cannot feel. Whatever you are going through, you are not alone.

You are enough the way you are. You are alive to write your own book, not to copy from others. You are alive to paint your life. You are alive to make your own history.

If things are tough for you, it is not going to be here forever. It is going to go away. Stop living in pain. Start saying good things to yourself. Because you deserve a better life. And you can make it happen.

This Is Discipline

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

If you do not discipline yourself, life will do it for you. If you do not know how to show up for yourself, no one will show up for you. That is discipline. That is life. Because life is about self-discipline. If you don’t discipline yourself, you won’t know when you are not doing enough for yourself.

That is what discipline does for us. It holds things together. It keeps us on track. It keeps us going. It helps get over obstacles. It forces us to do things that we wouldn’t have done.

Discipline is hard. But we need it. We need the spirit of dicipline in our lives. If we are not disciplined, we are going to be everywhere.

When you are everywhere, you are nowhere. When you are running in circles, you are not running at all. When you are not doing the right things, you are not doing anything at all. When you are not showing up for yourself, you are not showing up for yourself at all.

And life is about self-discipline. If we are not disciplined, we are going to be stuck in a rut.

So if you want to discipline yourself, you have got to be there for yourself. You have got to have the courage to do what is scary. You have got to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. You have got to have the courage to stand up for yourself, to do what you have not done before in your life.

To discipline yourself, you must always show up for yourself. You must always do what you need to do to get what you want. That is discipline.

Discipline is not about being the strongest in the room. It is not about being the smartest in the room. It is not about being the toughest in the room. Discipline is more than that.

So what is discipline? It is having the courage to show up for yourself. It is having the courage to do what you need to do.

If you want to be successful, you must have the courage to show up for yourself.

The question is, Will you show up for yourself?
