Life is everything that happens to you. It is the opportunities, risks, and decisions one take to get to a deatination. It also has to do with the people you meet on your way up there; The relationship and character you use to support your building blocks.

So many people people because of what they have gone through in life see life as the worst thing that has ever happened to them.

Today I am going to be sharing with you some of the little things you might be counting out as nothing that over time can be something that will help you get more out of life.

First of all, the giver of life made no mistake in giving you the life that you have. A thankful heart is a grateful heart. You should be grateful for the opportunity to live a life than buried under the ground.

Moving ahead...

It might surprise you that the things you think you lack is what other people wish they had; it's a pity how some people have gone blind to how great they can be on earth. Then you see yourself chasing stones instead of diamonds.

However, others have had various chances to do and attain higher in life but because of inferiority complex and the likes have remained in life's pot hole. Without no much ado, I would like to share with you some tips on how you can get more out of life and live your purpose just the way you want it.

Get more out of life by doing the followings religiously.

Quit the self pity game.

Wether you like it or not, your story is not any better or more pathetic than anyone else- so stop the self pity already. What are you going through that no one else has probably not gone through before?

My mother used to tell me when I was little that there is nothing that the eyes will see, that it has not seen before. So brace up dearly beloved . Take every hardship as it comes and use it for your advantage, learn the hidden lessons and move on.

Stop the PPC (People Pleasing Code)

You might be getting very little out of life because you still use the PPC. People who are chronic people pleasers are those who intentionally inconvenient themselves in other to be in the right book of others; maybe as a result of what others will think or say about them.

I have watched these people at the end of the day still end up in the same circle they do not want to get involved. It is always tempting to ask, what is then the use of not being yourself in the first place.

If you are the type who cares about what people will call or labell you as then you belittle yourself by stooping low as pleasing people. This I must tell you is the easiest not to only get less out of life, but a wasted effort and still this can lead you to remain stagnant.

"We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road; they get run over"-Aneurin Bevan.

Maintain your focus

Trust me, distractions are under statement. There are people, habits, mentalities and even relationships that would make you want to lose sight of the big picture. But it's left for you to focus on the big picture and maintain your standard.

Let me tell, no one cares if you achieve anything or not. It is left for you to focus on your dreams and make things happen for you. All you are required to do is channel your good motive into your strength and your strength at the big picture. Do not worry about friends, those that are meant to be there will be there. Just maintain your focus on being a better you.

Take risks and discover opportunities

Life is all about risks. If you don't risk it, you won't see the world in it's real form. It is in people's nature to want to counter what your risks are. They would try to tell you how wrong they think you might be. You do not have to listen to any of that. All you need is to listen to your self speak purely and silent the voice of fear in your head.

So many people have what it takes to go far in life but fear and what "people" would say never let's them achieve anything which makes them year in year out remain unchanged.

"Get a life of your own, where is the joy in inheritting someone else's"- John C. Maxwell

I know that as humans, we all have our definition of "risks" which by all means varies but what ever your risks , if you do not take them, you would never know the amount of opportunities you have.

I quote John C. Maxwell again who happens to motivate me always that, "if you keep doing what you've always done, you will always get what you've always gotten" and that is the gospel truth. If you don't move from a particular point; how would you see how far you can go?

Open your mind and see how close you are to the life of your dream. As for me, I can only tell you that there is nothing you can not get only if you bring yourself to imagine, dream and work towards getting more out of life.

Remember that there will be habits, people and sometimes relationships that might keep you from getting to the limelight of your life but then your life story would never be complete without those extras. In a nutshell; live everyday of your life accepting changes and using the stones casted at you to build empires.

Change your attitude towards failure

If you do not enjoy every journey you make, you will continue to fail and failure will always hurt; at the same time you will never learn. Except you change your attitude towards failure, only then will you discover that you have missed out in previous occasions. But hey! it is never too late to start over.

Take failure as the game changer and change your strategy... that's all. Stay brave, unique and ready at all times.
