Entitlement is for the weak
You are 100% in charge of your life. Furthermore, overwhelming majority of your professional (and personal) outcomes depend on you to a great degree (I know, I know…the environment, circumstances and luck matter as well) so stop looking for others to come and “save” you.
No one owes me anything, and having this mentality has helped me overcome many hurdles and challenges in my life. I am responsible for my current state, not family, cousins, friends, bosses, coworkers, certainly not the government, it’s all on me.
