I shared eight things I wish people would have told me when I was in high school in a recent presentation. I will be sharing one each week.

1. Don’t choose your path in life according to someone else’s desires or because of fear of what people think of you. Have you ever ventured down that path less travelled and realized that you wouldn’t be on it if you had lived your life according to what someone else expected you to be or do? I probably wouldn’t be doing most of the things I am doing today if I were worried about what people thought. This glorious path is filled with struggles and hardships but there is great joy as I walk along. Thankfully my joy is in Lord.
