You'll Never Know Until You Try.

"You cannot be anything you want to be, but you can be a whole lot more of who you were made to be."
This is an incredible quote. When we were younger, I'm sure we all had someone tell us that we can be anything that we wanted to be. That statement is false. If I can play the guitar very well, but my singing voice is terrible and off-key, I can't be a lead singer of a band no matter how much I want to. I may, however, get the chance to play in a band as a guitarist, because God has gifted me with the talent of playing the guitar very well. What this quote tells us, is that we have to take into consideration who we are. Our talents, our gifts, our personality, everything. We need to realize what God has given us, and use that information to figure out a career that will fit our skill-set. God has given each of us unique qualities and gifts, and He wants us to use those to glorify Him and help out the people around us. We can only be who we were made to be. Many of us haven't figured out all of our abilities and talents, so we think our options are limited. To get around this, we can pray to God, ask him to show us who we were made to be. We can also try new things, test the waters. Don't be afraid to do something because you haven't tried it or you don't think you can do it. You'll never know until you try.
