Become responsible for your direction even when others influenced your starting point.

Nobody chooses their starting point, and much of what shaped it was decided by other people long before you had any say. That is a real fact about the past and not a statement about the direction. From here, the heading is yours to set even if the ground under you was arranged by others.

Without minimizing what you were given or denied, ask where you want to be going now. Choose the next leg deliberately. The origin explains a great deal and decides less than it seems to.
