Looking back on life, if having things turn out the way you wanted is the measure of a successful life,then some would say that i am a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over lifes disappointments but to learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday want be a sunny and when you find yourself lost and alone in the darkness and despair remember that it is only in the black of night that you can see the stars and the stars will lead you back home.
 So dont be afraid to make mistakes and stumble and fall because most of lifes greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you will get everything you wished for, maybe you will get more than you could have ever imagined. 
Who knows where life will take you but just remember it is the journey and how you get there that is important and not the destination.
