Make Goals and Follow Them

Proverbs 3:5-6 reads, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

When we learn to depend on our abilities and the blessings that God has given us, we can achieve great goals and overcome any obstacles that stand in our way. I have experienced this in my life.

When I was young, I realized I had a passion for sales. I began my career in a hardware store, serving customers and providing exceptional service. Over time, I rose to become a supervisor and purchasing manager. For 12 years, I learned everything necessary to be successful in that field. I express gratitude to my Heavenly Father for granting me that chance and for giving me the desire and opportunities to be completely independent.

Today, thanks to hard work and God’s help, I have my own company. Being self-sufficient not only allows me to take care of myself and my family, but I also can serve and care for others in more meaningful ways. These experiences have shown me that it is not necessary to have extraordinary talents or a college degree to achieve success. All you need is to have a proper perspective and a dream to realize your potential.

I want to share the lessons I have learned in life with others who feel limited by their circumstances. No matter your current condition, you don’t have to be great to start acting but you must act to become great. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have all the answers or if you don’t have a perfect plan at first. What matters most is taking the first step and then consistently following the path toward your goals.

The gospel of Jesus Christ has been a fundamental pillar in my life and my success. Through my faith in Him, I have learned to trust in His plans and work hard through every challenge. He is the supreme example of perfection, and His message of love and hope has given me the power to move forward, even in the most difficult moments.

Today I feel grateful for the path I have traveled and for the success I have achieved. But I also feel a responsibility to help others find their own path to success. We all have the potential to achieve great things if we dare to dream and work hard to achieve it. I encourage you to never limit yourself and to trust in the power of Jesus Christ to overcome any obstacle and achieve success in your life.
