Why You Must Listen To Yourself

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Life is about doing what makes you happy, what makes you come alive. Life is about living your own life, doing your own things.

It is not about trying to be better than others. It is about getting better than your yesterday’s self. It is about getting better every day. It is about improving your life.

It is not about going after what other people are doing. Life is about purpose. It is about listening to your own power within you.

Yes, you have it. The issue is: you do not listen to it. You don’t do it. You prefer to pay attention to all the noise around you.

That is why most of us are not making progress. That is why we are where we are. That is why we are not working together. That is why love is so scarce.

To make progress, you must be honest with yourself. You must listen to what is going on within you. Because that is where success is. That is where you live.

According to Maulana, ‘… if we seek to progress outwardly, we must first strengthen ourselves inwardly.’ He is right. To hear yourself, you must listen to yourself.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to listen to yourself?

The Power Of Honesty: Own Your Story

‘If you cannot tell the truth about yourself, you cannot tell it about other people.’- Virginia Woolf

Be honest with yourself. Tell the truth. No matter where you are, what is going on, if you want to experience peace in your life, you must be honest with yourself.

Do not deceive yourself. Don’t make things up. Tell the world about yourself.

Do not be scared to talk about yourself. If you do not do it, someone else will do it for you.

Do not let that happen. Because you are enough. Because you have what it takes to tell your own story. You are strong enough, smart enough, to write your own story.

If you are not writing your own story, someone else is writing it.

If you want to read the correct story about yourself, you must write it yourself. You must own your story.

That is what honesty is. Honesty is when you have the courage to accept your life, when you are NOT scared to talk about your mistakes, your failures, your successes, and your dreams.

Tell it. Say something about yourself. You know who you are, what you have done, what you are doing, and where you want to be. We don’t know what you are thinking, but you know what you are thinking right now.

We don’t know what you are planning to do next, but you know where you are going. We do not know what you have done in the past, but you know what you have done in the past, and where you have been. You know everything about your life.

When you are comfortable with yourself, when you are comfortable with your mistakes your failures, they can’t control you anymore.

That is one of the benefits of being honest with yourself, with others. When you are honest with yourself, you are free. Honesty means freedom.

Because you do not have anything to hide. You are free. You are free because you are not afraid to talk about your life.

You are comfortable with yourself, no matter where you are. That is what people want. People want to deal with real people, people who have nothing to hide.

When you are who you are, no one can control you. Because you do not have anything to hide.

The question is, ‘Are you living your life?’
