We recommend you to believe in yourself and identify strengths within yourself so that you could lead a Joyful life with your choices in it. Many leave their path behind of pursuing what they want due to the fear of society, sometimes pressure from parents and other elders, which leads youngsters taking a wrong path with no satisfaction in it.
