Somebody made the manuscript and the only thing you can do is to react to the things you experience.
This is far from the reality. In my opinion, you can and should write your own manuscript.
Try to make decisions that help you go along the path that leads to your desired future.
The path ahead might seem daunting… or exciting depending on your mindset!
There can be many things holding you back.

You might not have the money it takes to buy your dream island or something third.

Keep trying new things and reinvent yourself. This is a great way, to expand your view of your own opportunities.
