Do not be discouraged by all of the things that did not go as planned in the past, but be hopeful of all the possibilities for you to work on a brighter future. Whether or not things did not work out because you choose to not put in some work or you choose to listen to someone else who told you not to dream just because they have no dream. Regardless of your pass and what the devil wants to take or keep from you, God wants you to succeed and fulfill your needs. You just have to make the choice to plan for your future and then start working towards it as your reactions to your thoughts will determine how you move forward, backwards, or stay were you are.
