Throughout our lifetimes (especially when we were young) we have often dealt with others "defining" us and having views on what we will amount to. How often has a teacher made a comment on what an individual's future life will be? How often have others made you feel that you will not amount to much?
No one has a crystal ball and no one has the right to predict what you will do or accomplish in life. No one else has a right to define who you are or what you will be... but you. You define what you want to accomplish in life and only you can make decisions that will make a difference in your life.
Successful people take control of their lives and navigate their own ship.
Keep in mind, however, that receiving positive guidance from mentors who have our best interests at heart is always a good thing. We learn, we listen, we grow!
But.... We also know we are the Captain of our own ship!
