This verse is incredibly powerfull. It has helped me in times when I have personally felt like I might not be able to reach my future career expectations, or felt like my life was going nowhere at times. When I read this, it makes me realize that we weren't put on this earth to do what we want. We are here to serve God, worship him, spread his word to others, and allow him to do what he will with our lives. Sometimes we get so caught up with our "everyday life" (school, home, friends, entertainment, etc....) that it drags us away from what really matters, which is Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 16:9
