If you' ve been in a situation where while you are learning new skills, growing and succeding more but still get the feeling of being at the mercy of people, follow these guidelines things will start to look less desperate.
# 1 Without a vision of what you want, you will always be at the mercy of circumstances created by others. But with your plan firmly in your mind, you can be confident that the road you’re on is the right one. Every great success story began with an idea, a vision, and a plan of action that consisted of concrete steps.
# 2 Have a 5-year plan. Feed your imagination every day. Develop your vision of the life you want and pursue it relentlessly until it’s yours. Visualize your life five years from now. Visualize the person you are. See yourself surrounded by friends and family. It is your birthday and they are celebrating with you. Someone has to give a speech about you. What are they saying?
