‘Stop Stopping Yourself’

Life is a journey. You are going somewhere. Do not focus on where you are right now, focus on where you are going. Do not focus on what is going on in your life right now, focus on what you are becoming.

Life is not perfect. And do not expect yours to be perfect. You will experience things. You will face obstacles. But if you do not forget yourself, you can defeat them.

Do not settle for anything less than you are worth. Do not settle for anything average. Because you are not an average person. You are a complete human being. You deserve to be treated as such.

If you want to be successful in your life, you must stop limiting yourself.’

Do not limit yourself. Stop telling yourself things that are not helping you. Instead, focus on what you can do to make your life better. And there are lots of things you can do. You can start by exposing the things that you think are holding you back. Do not fear. Let them out. Let the world see what you have been going through alone.

According to Ozan Varol, ‘To expose your self-imposed limitations, take extreme action. Go for a moonshot you don’t think you’ll achieve. Ask for a raise you don’t think you deserve. Apply for a job you don’t think you’ll get.’ In other words, just do something new, something you have not done before. Just get out of your safe zone. When you do that, the way you do things will change.

If you want to live a better life, a peaceful life, you must ‘stop stopping yourself. Open the door and leave.’

Why You Must Make Up Your Mind

Plato said, ‘Make up your mind, then, or rather have your mind already made up, for the time of delibration is over, and there is only one thing to be done, which must be done this very night, and if we delay at all will be no longer practicable or possible.’

If you know what you want for yourself, then stop waiting. Do not waste your time. The time of serious thinking is over. The time of intense planning is over. And the time of doubt, of fear, is over. Now is the time to act. If you do not act to make your dreams come true, they will die.

Whatever you want to do in your life, you can do it. And if you do not do it, your life will never change. Remember, for your life to change, something must change. According to Ozan Varol, ‘The key is to forget the noun and do the verb instead. If you want to be a blogger, start blogging every week. If you want to be a stand-up comedian, start performing at open-mic nights. If you want to be a podcaster, podcasting.’

If you want your life to take a different direction, you must take a different direction.’

He is right. If you want anything to change in your life, you must take action. If you want to get rid of something you do not like in your life, you have got to take a big action. If not, nothing is going to happen. Because nothing happens without action.
