Do not 'Spiritualize' your inefficiency:
It is true that there is a God that watches over us and wants to see us succeed. But we should be careful not to be the architect of our failures. Believing in God is no excuse for mediocrity. As a matter of fact, it behooves us to take conscientious steps towards becoming whatever we are made to. Do not, out of sheer ignorance or inadequacy, become comfortable with the state you are in. You are made for much more. We are both yet to become who we truly are, and we won’t become that by spiritualizing our efficiency. We can only attain that blissful height by taken action to acquire that skill, building that talent and starting on that dream.

Don’t explain your life away!
It is possible that people will always
misunderstand your every deed. So be wise not to spend ample time explaining
your every move. Allow people the luxury of finding out for themselves the
intent behind your deeds. Even when they fail to see it, keep at it. Keep being
nice to people. One day you will be dazed by a show of gratitude by someone
that has been touched by your niceness.
It is possible that people will always criticize all you do. So be mindful to stop and hear what they think. Not everyone will end up making sense to you, but people’s opinion may spark up another unique idea that you never thought of. In other cases, they may just be right about what they say. So make good use of their opinions and grow.

People you care about may not believe in your
dreams.
Your parents and loved one’s may never believe in your dreams and goals. It doesn’t mean they do not love you. They aren’t used to seeing you thrive towards such seemingly unrealistic goals; you trying to jump off the cliff without asking to be saved. So be patient with them. Do not give up on your dreams. Pursue it with all sense of responsibility and zest until you achieve it. And then you will see them trusting you with resources, believing you have evolved into a person worthy of respect and belief.

Friends may never truly care:
Friends may never truly care the way they should, but then, do not impose on anyone your standards of how best to show love. Just love them whether or not they believe in your dreams. And when you dreams start to pay off, it would be easier for them to believe. People are natural skeptics! Your friends may get jealous about your dreams. If they do, do not be mad at them. It is understandable that they feel they aren’t progressing like you are. So be humble, but do not try to make them comfortable by doing away with those dreams and aspirations. Pursue them until you they are achieved. And maybe once you are done achieving a dream, they would also find the heart to chase after theirs.

Do it until the butterflies cease flapping:
When you want to try something different as
a teenager or youth, you are sure to have butterflies flapping in your belly.
Do not take this to mean you aren’t meant to do that thing. It is simply a sign
that you have stepped out of your cocoon. These flappings occur when one sets
their feet outside the box, which ever box it may be. It may be the box of
ideology, ambition, relationship… name it! You must commit yourself to that
thing and see it till finish.
A wise man once said:
“Character is the ability to carry out a resolution long after the excitement of the moment.”
