Do not allow anyone to discourage your dreams. Folks try to inject “a dose of reality” into your life by telling you what’s best for you.
How many did not apply to a college or for a particular job, because someone said they wouldn’t make it or they would not hire you?
We need more people around us who will encourage, inspire, or speak to the heart, “I believe you can” and those who are willing to speak to the hope in your future instead of failure.
There is always going to be that one, Jon Walker wrote how his high school English teacher told him not to apply to Cornell University because he probably wouldn’t get accepted and if they did accept him, he wouldn’t be able to keep up with the work. He said that he almost didn’t apply, but so happened, a few days later a former teacher of his said apply and if they accept you, go! He said this teacher told him; you can do it. Trust in yourself.
What the world needs now is more optimists, someone who trusts has faith, and has the heart to inspire. The one that will see the break in the line and will yell out to you to reach beyond the break and hold on!
There is a future for you, your hope will not be cut off. Put your faith in God!
