Every 24th day of the month is a reminder to self-reflect on every aspect of my life. I thought I would share 24 things to keep reiterating to yourself:
God above everything
Everything you have, even you belong to Him.
Love yourself first
Only when you learn to love yourself that you will know how to love others.
Like yourself always
By liking who you are, you will enjoy your own company and you will never be lonely.
You are enough
In every situation you are in presently, you need to firmly believe that you are the best version of yourself at that moment.
You only get one life
Live boldly, try out new things and feel every moment of it.
Your happiness should be a priority
There is no point in living a life that doesn’t fulfill you because fulfillment yields happiness. Who doesn’t want to be happy every time of their life?
Life is a school
The school of life happens daily until you die so be a good student and when needed, be a good teacher.
Life starts at the end of your comfort zone
This should be like a motto, out of the comfort zone lies new opportunities and they birth new experiences which are generally living life to the fullest.
Life is bigger than yourself
The world does not revolve around you. Others are in it too so make a point to help them, impact other people’s lives.
Family should be a pillar in your life
When all things are said and done, they are the ones to cheer you on, motivate and lean on. Family is not blood but strong, healthy bonds.
Friendships evolve and change
As you grow, you either grow together or apart and both are a result of the experiences we encounter.
Relationships take two to tango
It’s a personal effort from both parties to make a relationship work. From family, friends, work, business to all other meaningful relations.
Goals need to be precise and time-based
Set your goals clearly, to the ‘T’ and set reasonable timelines for each, it keeps you on your toes.
Goals need to be rechecked and revised when need be
The moment your goals change or are not panning out, sit down and update.
Detours are inevitable in your journey to achieve your goals
The path to success is never straight, you will do roles in/out of your passion, all preparing you for your goals.
Growth is uncomfortable but necessary
When you are trying to grow, sacrifices need to be made and this means you are not in your comfort zone. Being uncomfortable keeps you motivated and that is necessary.
Growth is a product of experience
Experience has lessons and from those lessons, you are expected to grow so as to better tackle life.
Grow with your circle
This means uplifting each other so that you don’t have to leave anyone behind or feel burdened by them. True friends grow together.
Take a break every once in a while
Rest is where you get to regroup and refocus so take it as often as you need it.
Financial freedom is a lifestyle
A money relationship is like any other relationship, you need to work on it constantly. It is a lifestyle built over time.
Travel is an investment with returns
This opens up your mind in addition to having a refreshing experience.
Peace is fertile soil for productivity
Where there is peace, you are surrounded by positive thoughts and energy which yields beautiful creations.
When it rains, it pours
The good and bad come like a tide, be prepared for both of them, mentally, psychologically, spiritually and, physically, so that you can ride it and not drown.
Shake off the entitlement attitude
Nobody owes you anything, you have to work for everything you want.
What are some of your daily or occasional motivations to keep you in check?
