‘Plant Where You Want To Root’

If you do not want something to touch you, do not support it. Plant what you want to experience.

If you care about happiness, then plant the seeds of happiness. Because ‘Happiness isn’t found; it’s what we make ritual, what becomes routine. It’s not luck, it’s discipline. Plant where you want to root. It will be uncomfortable to break out of the seed either way.’

Do not plant what you do not want to eat. Because if you do, you can’t run away from the results.

‘Trust that life loves you enough to break your heart if it means saving your soul.’ Life is not your enemy. Life is your friend. But a very tough friend.

‘Some people show you what’s possible if you keep going, and others show you what’s possible if you give up.’

Whether you know where you are going or not, it is better to keep moving. Life is about getting things done. If you are not doing, you are not moving.

‘You do not have to instruct a flower to bloom. You do not have to tell it how to root. You do not have to wish for it to sprout, you do not have to affirm that it will continue to reach toward the sun. You do not have to fear that it will not grow. You only have to arrange the environment so that growth is the inevitable outcome.’

If where you are right now is not supporting your growth, do not stay. If you stay, you are wasting your time.

Your ability to create resides in the millisecond that is right in front of you. The more time you spend fixated on what’s way behind or far ahead, the more you surrender your power. More of your life slips away.’

Life is not easy. But you can make things happen. To get things done, you have got to keep your power.

If You Do Not Want To Waste Your Life, You Must Stay Away From These People

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

They do not know what they want. What other people want is what they want.

They are not after what they want. They want to be like other people, not like themselves. They are not comfortable with who they are. They work really hard to be like other people.

They buy things they don’t need. Because they want to look successful, but they are not really successful.

They are not happy with where they are. They are not interested in how they are going to make their lives better.

They are just acting, not really living. They are experts. They know everything.

They surround themselves with people who don’t care about them. They are always around people who are takers, not givers.

They don’t know how to say ‘no’ to people who are not for them. They don’t know where they are going. They don’t even think about it.

They are okay with the same things. They are not responsible for anything. They are not responsible for their problems.

They blame other people for what they are going through in their lives. When you are with these people, you are not you.

You are just going through life, not really living your life. If you want to be successful, if you want to build something positive for yourself, you MUST stay away from these people. Because they losers. They are negative thinkers. They are takers, not supporters.
