Nobody to Somebody

Where are you standing today? Are the people around you encouraging you? Are they motivating you to persevere and push towards your goal, or are they discouraging you through words and actions, trying to hold you back or make you believe you cant do it?
Let us try to be people of positivity and start lifting one another up for our future and for the generations to come, rather than criticizing and discouraging one another. One word can make or break a person. We must be careful of what we say to people about their actions or dreams; try to encourage people to strive towards their goals. We never know, our encouragement for someone else may be just the thing they need to hear at that time.
The following few chapters are based on a few individuals that I have the privilege of knowing. These people are just normal people, just like you and I, but I wanted to share with you their stories. These people faced discouragement and struggles but never gave up on their visions. Let their testimonies be an example and encouragement for you; you are somebody and even you can go on to do great things.
