No matter how carefully you plan your goals they will never be more than pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto.
Regardless of who you are or what you have been, you can be what you want to be.
Read the Bible and inspirational books for a purpose. Ask for divine guidance. Search for the light.
Little hinges swing big doors.
Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.
Try, try, try, and keep on trying is the rule that must be followed to become an expert in anything.
