We often see other people thriving in their journeys and we are tempted to walk the same journey, but as you will come to find out, you wont necessarily do well in that particular area because its your calling, you’re not living your true authentic life.

I recommend you read the PATH MADE CLEAR by OPRAH WINFREY, it will help you see how freeing it is to walk in your true purpose. Hope you found this article helpful.
