Some people are disappointed in their life because they are trying to use the tools that God did not authorised them to use in their life, trying to build on a purpose that is not even attached in their personality.

About This Quote

Some people are disappointed in their life because they are trying to use the tools that God did not authorised them to use in their life, trying to build on a purpose that is not even attached in their personality. To be disappointed means that you are feeling hurt because of the way things have turned out for you, which is natural. But, when you feel hurt, it is best to examine your life and see if you have made mistakes which have led to the current situation. It might be that you have used the wrong tools or because of so-called miracles or peculiarities of fate. Once this has been clarified, you can move forward with your life.
