What are you doing with your life? As a teen you may not be sure what your live is about.
The truth is that most adults as well have not found their true purposes in life.
Most times it is very unclear what your purpose is in life, but the earlier you begin to find your purpose, the better your future life will be.
I hope you are reading this article because you want to standout from the crowd.
It is so easy to be a nobody going nowhere, than to be a somebody with a real appetite to live life to its fullest.
Read books on successful people and you will soon realise that they all have something in them that propels them not to settle for average.
Your life is better than average.
You have what it takes to reach the for skies with a little bit of more diligence and hard work on your part.

How do you plan to succeed in the race of life? Why would anybody say that life is a race? We say life is a race because there is a beginning and an ending.
Both the beginning and the ending are equally important, however it is said that how well you begin will determine, how well you will end that race.
Very few people through out history have been known to have started on the wrong foot and have still made it to the top and finished well.
My advice will be to start right and early so you will have a lot of time to make as many mistakes as possible and still get round to finishing well.
Take a 100 meter race being ran by two teens.
Let them be called Teen A and Teen B.
Teen A has head start of 50metres and Teen B starts from the start mark.
Now which of the two stand a better chance of winning this race.
Your likely answer will be the Teen who had the head start.
That is exactly what happens when you start well, you place yourself at an advantaged position.
I believe anyone can win the race of life if they have a clear picture of where they want to get to and plan ahead.
Give yourself a head start.
You must surely win this race.

Who are your friends, mentors and super heroes I can tell who you are, just by looking at the type of friends that hang around you.
The friends you keep, tell a story about you.
Bible says "how can two walk together except they agree".
Most teens like to believe naively that their friends do not and cannot influence them in any shape or form, but that is a lie.
You see in one way or another we respond to our senses.
What we see, smell,hear,taste and feel affects us.
As you walk in that company who constantly talk about their evil plans day in and day out, a seed is being sown into your live and what happens when a planted seed is exposed to the right conditions? It will grow.
Do not be mistaken because many teens have found themselves doing and engaging in things they never thought they could possibly do, but under the influence of peer pressure they have led movements.
Unknown to them the seed of a bad habit that was sown sometime ago had just been exposed to the the right conditions.
Watch out your life is worth more than allowing yourself to be influenced by the wrong people.
Find mentors and heroes who will take you to place you see yourself reaching, let them speak into your life and help you reach your destiny.
