The Courage To Go Beyond

Life is about courage. It is having the courage to live an imperfect life.

It is having the courage to be real with who we are. Being real with you is about you. It is also about your values. Your motivators. Your drivers.

Being true to who you are means nothing if you don’t have the courage to live your life,

to do the hard things, to do the right things, to see opportunities where others see problems, and

to go beyond what you think is possible.

If you want to see growth in your life, you must have the courage to go beyond what is possible.

You must have faith in yourself. You must have the courage to let go of the things that don’t support you. You can. You will. And you must.

‘Have the courage to let go of the things that don’t support you.’

Compassion: Why We Need It

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

‘Cultivating compassion begins with self-compassion. … Compassion cannot truly be offered to others until we first offer it to ourselves.’- Janice Marturano

Life is not linear. Things happen. Don’t fight what you are going through in your life. All you can do is be open to where it is taking you.

Be kind to yourself. Do not beat yourself up. Nothing is about you. Do not make things all about you. That is not what self-compassion is about. Self-compassion is about love, care, and respect.

Compassion is good because it ‘reminds us that when we see someone suffering, we are separated from the sufferer by only the thinnest lines of time and circumstance, and we feel a pull to lessen the suffering. … It helps us to understand the interconnections among us. It encourages us to become involved with the well-being of those around us.’

If you want to build a great community, don’t forget those around you. Love them. Treat them with respect. And support them. And they will always support you.
