Don't know what i am going through

Hello, Believe me when I say, it's certainly NOT too late. Not at all. Every moment we can make a different choice, live a different life, and know it's all limitless. Daydreaming READ MORE
Hello, Believe me when I say, it's certainly NOT too late. Not at all. Every moment we can make a different choice, live a different life, and know it's all limitless. Daydreaming leads to reality, but only if you choose to make it reality. It starts with a choice, then action... Little by little, every next choice can take you to your dreams come true. We must be humble. We must stay true. The smartest (and by far most successful) young man I know once told me, "I'm not that smart. But I am unusually determined." Perseverance creates success beyond measure. Daydreams are required, but they're just the beginning. Begin, and stay true to your goal, and never give up. That's how we succeed. Mistakes, by the way, are never bad, but simply proof you're at a new learning edge. Stay on the edge, make your mistakes and just learn from them. that's the way forward. I suggest you get a good therapist to help you move out of daydreams to a real life full of your fantasies come true!
