14. Your Choices and Actions Will
Determine What’s Possible
• You may not be in control of the
circumstances, but you are in complete
control of the actions you take.
• Each step you take in the direction of a
goal or a dream will reveal new
possibilities that you were unaware of
before.
15. Don’t let other people determine
your future.
• How you get there doesn’t really Matter
• Many people will criticize the choices you make on the path to
pursuing your dreams.
• Don’t live your life according to other people’s expectations.
They are not the ones who are going to live with the
consequences of your actions.
16. Knowing our priorities
and learning to sacrifice.
• Getting what you really want out of life is about what
you’re willing to give up as it is about what you’re
willing to do.
• “Sacrifices must be made on the path” .
• The memories of your struggles, your uphill battles
and miserable journey are fleeting.
• Once you passes them , just look forward and
remember that your circumstances today don’t
determine what’s possible tomorrow.
17. “Our circumstances" really don't matter in life except for one
purpose! They are a place where we can learn to talk with God
and simply trust in God, however difficult that may be.
•“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your
own understanding; In all your ways
acknowledge [know, not just know about] Him, And He shall
direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)
