Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
A meaningful life?is a better version of life. Passion and commitment?are essential for living a complete life. However, you also need to be ready to embrace the challenges that lie ahead. To play big in your life game, you need to take risks without retreating to your comfort zone.
Even an Olympic level athlete?may prefer the less trodden path. They may do what they dislike to survive and to fulfil what’s required of them. But just like an athlete, you are meant to run at high speeds without suffocating your potential or following societal norms.
To achieve more, here’s how you can step up your life game.
Keep People Who Encourage You Close
People who encourage you will remind you of how capable you are. You may have more space to step up your life than you allow yourself. Find at least one person who sees and enables you to see your true potential. Listen to them closely when they tell you how you can improve your life. Always remember to keep people who encourage you close because they’ll remind you how capable you are.

Be Yourself
Be honest with yourself. Look for opportunities to step up your life that are most important to you. Ignore the ones that others tell you. While they may be right, you may have something better in mind.
Be Someone Else for Just One More Person
Be the person you need for one other person. This means you’ll need to give them the encouragement and optimism that you need. This may be the first step in realizing how easy it is to encourage someone than to receive it. Giving encouragement also improves your ability to receive it.
The thing that matters the most when stepping up your life is appreciating the things that are already there. The improvements you’re making are your own, and nobody can take credit for your life; nobody can make your life better than you can.
I, AkwasiFrimpong, as Ghana’s first skeleton Olympic athlete, motivational speaker?and entrepreneur, built my life up by understanding and believing in myself. I improve myself by understanding myself better. You need to do the same.
