Be Comfortable With Yourself

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

When things are tough, be comfortable with yourself. When you are tired, feel like giving up, be comfortable with yourself. When you are tired of explaining your values to others, those who don’t understand you, be okay with yourself. When people are not who you think they are, be comfortable with yourself. When you are the only person in the room fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves, be comfortable with yourself.

Because people are counting on you. If you are not comfortable with yourself, you won’t be able to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. If you are not able to take a tough stand against a popular but not helpful issue, the world will suffer.

Don’t let that happen. Because being comfortable with yourself means self-love. It means you are okay with yourself, regardless of what is going on in the world. It means you see opportunities, not problems. It means you are happy with what you have. It means you know where you are, what is going on, and what you are going after.

Before you go, remember, being comfortable with yourself is self-love.

Courage Is Everything

Courage has power. It takes courage to live our lives. Without it, we are not going anywhere. It takes courage to face yourself, to love yourself, to do what you are not comfortable with. It takes courage to say what you really want to say. It takes courage to love, expecially those who have done things that we don’t stand for, things that are not who we are.

It takes courage to chase your dreams. It takes courage to reject something that is going to make your life miserable. It takes courage to walk away from what you are comfortble with. It takes courage to stand for something that is really unpopular, something that a lot of people are for, but you are not. It takes courage to walk away from a high-paying job that doesn’t fit who you are, what you want.

When you are courageous, you can do anything. It doesn’t mean playing reckless games. It mean playing value-based games. When you take a stand, the world will follow. Because it is your own way of telling the world who you are, what you can take, and what you can’t take. If not, the world will tell you who you are not.Do not accept it. Because it is not you.
