You can make or break yourself. Nobody can determine your success or failure but you. If you have goals and want to achieve them and are doing everything you can to reach them then you are well on your way to success. Setting a goal and sticking to it will pay off in the end. You might now get to where you want to go overnight,but you will get there eventually. It takes time and sacrifice to accomplish some things in life. Slow and steady finishes the race. If you put 110% in to everything that you do then you can expect to get that 110% back. Hard work pays off in the end. You may have people tell you that you can't do this or you can't do that but you can do and be anything that you want to in life. You just have to be motivated an fully communited to goal in order to reach it. Its just like
being fully commited to a relationship or marriage. Some successfull people such as actors,singers,musicians,doctors and lawyers do consider themself married to their career. They are fully dedicated and committed to their career and put it first before anything else. They may work long hours and nights but they have to do what they have to do and it pays off in the end. So you work hard and then you can play hard. You also have to have love and compassion for the career you are in or want to go in,without that you really can't be successful or happy. If you choose a career path that a parent may have wanted you to go in then you are setting yourself up for unhappiness. Choose the career path that best suits you not ,others. Its not about anyone else but you. Not sure where you are going? Ask God for his guidance to help you follow the right path.
