Anyone telling you what you should do in life is probably wrong.

They have no idea of who you are, not your situation and do not know what is going inside your head, heart or soul.

Even your best friend in the world can be wrong in telling you what you should do.

You know that; a lot of us do, actually, yet we still want to be told what we should do in life.

Many look for passion, purpose and meaning in their lives and try to find someone or something that takes responsibility for them.

People have done this for eons and will likely continue to do this forever because we are all afraid of being wrong.

If we are wrong with our passion, purpose or meaning, we might end up falling further than the place we are right now.

In an act of self-defense we try to push the responsibility of to someone else.

We look at people of success, those with constant smiles on their faces, and those that seem closer to our ideal heroes or heroines, be they real or fictional.

We look at our idols and try to become more like them, thinking that they know something we do not.
