All the decisions you have made throughout your life have brought you to where you are today. That's powerful, when you think about it. In other words you manage your life by the decisions you make.
If you let others make decisions for you, then you're giving them the key to your destiny. That key is yours! You were born with it. It is your way to take charge and take control.
You're responsible for your life and you need to be in the driver's seat, especially when it comes to the decisions that affect your future. So, look to yourself first. Look to others for guidance, but ultimately there is no one better than you to decide what's best for your life journey.
At any time, you can decide to change the road you're on in life, take a new direction, follow a new trail. You are the only one who really knows what you want from life and if you're on the right road for you. You are the only one who can fulfill your dreams and receive the joys and happiness that come from reaching those aspirations and goals.
Don't expect others to be responsible for your happiness and your success. You must take control and be in charge of your destiny and day-to-day situations. Take advice (most of the time it's free) and listen to what others have to say and what concerns they have; it's important to have different points of view. But always validate those words of wisdom with your own set of standards and make sure that the advice has meaning to your sense of reality.
You must understand yourself enough to know what you want in life and what desires you believe are worthwhile for your future. You need to depend upon yourself and your talents. Appreciate others for their personal skills and abilities, but always continue to focus on your own strengths and energies. Life is much too short to spend it worrying about someone else's accomplishments or expecting someone else to be responsible for making your life better.
If you have dreams, then you have a purpose. You have something to believe in and work towards obtaining. Dedicate yourself to yourself. Promise yourself a life filled with love, and then whatever roads you travel will be the roads you want them to be.

Nobody's looking
What do you do when nobody is looking? Do you work just as hard, do you remain just as reliable, are you just as responsible, are you just as considerate of others?
True success depends on what you do when nobody is looking. Because the things you do when nobody is looking, are driven by what you expect of yourself. And whatever you expect of yourself, is what you will become.
If you "cheat" when nobody's looking, you're cheating your own destiny. When you focus only on what you can "get by with", all you'll do is "get by."
The seeds for achievement are sown when nobody is looking. The Olympic athlete whose gold medal performance is watched by millions, spent years in training while nobody watched. The millionaire entrepreneur with a successful business, spent years working late into the night while nobody watched.
Nobody's watching. Now is the time to be your best, and rise above the crowd.
