Be very cautious of the people you discuss your life goals with. Not everyone in your life wants you to be successful. Don’t just speak to anyone about your plans and goals; unless that person is a bridge you must cross on your journey to success. When you tell people what your plans are, you give them the opportunity to discourage you. They then have the chance to talk bad or laugh if you never accomplish your plans. Speak to only God about your plans, because He is the one that can establish them. Hard work in silence and let your success speak for you.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. (Proverbs 16:3) – Clifford Owusu
