I hope my future life will turn out as it is envisaged. Hence, I will work hard for a bright future ahead.

Does the sentence above make itself clear? Please help correct it if there's any mistakes...Thanks again, teachers!

Better would be:

"I hope my life will turn out as I envisage it. Hence, I will work hard for a bright future."

In the original form, it is unclear who is doing the envisaging. Also, "future" in the first sentence and "ahead" in the second are redundant.
