‘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.

Why You Should Let Negative Thoughts Pass By

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

We are human beings. We can’t stop thinking about things. We are going to be thinking about positive things. We are also going to be thinking about negative things. We will never stop thinking. The question is, ‘What are you thinking about?’

When you receive any negative thoughts, don’t fight them, let them go. If you try to fight them, they will never leave. They will keep coming back to you. So to make peace with yourself, just let them go. Do not keep them. If you do, they are not going to add anything to your life. Instead, they are going to make you really unhappy. That is why you see people who are not happy. Their unhappiness has nothing to do with them. It has everything to do with their thoughts.

When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, turn yourself back to your real self. If it is not what you want to be thinking about at that moment, you have a choice.

Focus on what is positive in your life. It is what is positive that is going to take you back to where you want to be, who you were meant to be.

No matter what is going on in your life, you can be better. Do not accept anything that is not adding value to your life, to your creative life. You need to get back to yourself. You need to do better for yourself. You need to heal your life. You need to get away from your old lies. If not, you are not going to move forward.

Is that what you want?
