"I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." Psalm 32:8
Dreams are goals. Dreams are to imagine something as possible. Giving up is a way of showing how weak you are. Keeping your dream alive and making sure you succeed is showing how strong you are. Its showing you what you can do. Never give up on your dream. Giving up is just your way of showing you never really had a passion for this or you were never really motivated. You giving up is proving that your 'dream' was just another thing on your unfinished business list. Sometimes you have to ignore the people that are surrounding you with negativity. Ignore those that tell you its impossible or you cant do it. You have to ignore the people that are starting their sentence off with "well i don't know....." Those are the ones that we strive so hard to prove wrong. There comes a time in life when we have to be selfish in order to succeed in life. Trust me when i say your true friends will be there the whole way through. When i say follow your dream I really mean follow YOUR dreams not the dreams that others think you should go with. You will never really be happy until you do what you want to do. You only have one life to live. So, you cant say "i will do this for my mom first and then go and follow my dream." You never know what the future holds. What if it is too late?! What if you get stuck in the career that you chose to please someone else. You will be bitter for the rest of your life to please someone else. Then you will finally break down and say something when it's too late. So, follow your dreams and never get too lazy to achieve them. Like i said before "God will never let his angel fall." Walk in your greatness.
"KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE DON'T LET IT DIE IF SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE KEEPS INSPIRING YOU TO TRY DON'T STOP AND NEVER GIVE UP DON'T EVER GIVE UP ON YOU!" -YOLANDA ADAMS NEVER GIVE UP
GO LISTEN TO THAT SONG!

Self-Worth
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." - Romans 12:2
Self-Worth is the sense of one's own value or worth as a person; self esteem; and self respect.
Growing up many if not all of us were introduced to emotional and verbal abuse. We were told lies so people could get what they wanted out of us. Which in some cases led to physical and sexual abuse. We were ran over and dragged along by the one's that we thought were better than us. We was told that we were ugly, fat, dumb, and worthless. We grew up believing that if we stayed with the pretty/fine, skinny/muscular, popular kids that we were important. We thought we were only important because of who we made our friends. Now that we are older and have been through this abuse something so simple as being called ugly can set us off or knock our self esteem down. Someone saying your skin is too dark or too light, your bald headed, or your stupid can cut us deeply. We can sit and argue for hours trying to build ourselves back up. In all reality we only try to make that person feel how we once felt. We sit and argue to prove to ourselves that we are worth something. Why do we try to convince ourselves that what the next person just said is not true?! We have a crappy way of building ourselves back up. We go for the vulnerable one's and talk about them. We make others feel like crap to make ourselves feel better. Its a cycle that needs to be broken. You have to know what you are worth. If you ever forget think back on all the people you have helped. Think back on how good you felt after helping that person. Think back on how stupid and worthless you felt after making someone else feel like crap. Think back on life. All that you have overcome. We all are insecure about something but you also have that special feature that no one else has. You all have something that everyone compliment you on. Use those compliments to your advantage. Accept them and remember someone else said that about you. Most importantly we have to love ourselves and prove everyone wrong. Show them who you really are and what you can do! You have to love yourself before you can truly love someone else.

TRIALS······WORRY
"FOR HE HAS NOT DESPISED OR DISDAINED THE SUFFERING OF THE AFFLICTED ONE; HE HAS NOT HIDDEN HIS FACE FROM HIM BUT HAS LISTENED TO HIS CRY FOR HELP. - PSALM 22:24
Trials are stumbling blocks that God place in front of us on our journey called Life. We have to go through these things to become a stronger and better person. We all have to face LIFE. Some people go through things that are worse than others. Some people don't get over these trials. Some people kill themselves over this. Some people get depressed and cut themselves. Some people take pills. Some people hurt others around them. Some people just cry. Some people pray. Some people work a little harder. Some people get over them and keep moving. Some people learn to trust God and leave it all in his hands. Most importantly though some people seek help and ask God for peace that surpass all understanding.
The ones that don't seek God always have an excuse. They usually say i don't know how to pray or what if God doesn't hear me i have done a lot of wrong. That only means that you have not forgave yourself. Our God is a forgiving God. Our God doesn't hold on to your mistakes and use them against you. Trust me when i say he hears you and if your answer don't come right away be patient that just means its not the right time. That just means that you have to go through a little more to get you ready for what he has for you. That just means that he has something so great that only you can handle. That just means that your getting ready to do something great and with something great comes problems that you will be able to just step over and keep going. How, because you have the strength you have been through so much that your not gonna let this stop you. So, I'm here to let you know you're worried for nothing. You have to trust that God has your back. You have to trust that God has an angel watching and protecting you every step of the way.
Always remember God will never let his angel fall. He will always have someone right there to catch you. When you think you can no longer go on alone. Let go of the rope and let God catch you and take control of your life. You will find out that's the road you should have taken all along.
