A: You must intentionally shift your focus away from what went wrong and thank God that His mercy is bigger than your past, starving the guilt completely. Q: What should I do if someone walks away from my life? A: Recognize that their part in your story is over and trust that if you needed them to fulfill your divine purpose, God would not have let them leave. Q: How do negative people affect my spiritual growth and success? A: Negative people feed your mind with doubt and compromise, and because spirits are transferable, hanging around them will eventually cause you to catch their toxic mindsets. Q: Why does God close doors that I want to stay open? A: God closes doors to protect you from environments that limit your growth and to transition you toward a better, more rewarding plan aligned with your ultimate destiny. Q: What is the fastest way to overcome discouragement after a disappointment? A: You must stop reliving the hurt, get your passion back, and actively declare that your future will be brighter and more favored than your past ever was. 1. 1 Samuel 16:1 - Letting go of past disappointments to receive new assignments. 2.
