Whatever your conditions, certain principles would enable you to effectively adapt.  Regardless of your view of success, these ideas will assist you to get where you're going:  

1) Recognize you decide when and where you will work through something.  Whatever is on your mind requires attention.  It may involve other people or factors outside yourself.  Choose to deal with things when you're detached and nonemotional.

2) Re-evaluate your focus and priorities.  The attitudes of people around you may affect you.  Remember, your thoughts are always in your control.   You have power to decide what feelings and relations are worth letting go if they don't serve your growth.

3) Accept the consequences of your choices.  Accountability is key.  Indecisiveness isn't an option.  If you're unwilling to have faith and support your decisions, or, if you choose to wallow in regret, its not only harder to see forward, you block your progress.

4) Live each moment to the fullest.  This requires you to learn to focus on the 'here and now.'  Make the best of where you are and the life you are living.  What somebody else somewhere else is or isn't doing doesn't matter.  You're your point of reference.

5) Trust your intuition.  To train yourself to listen to your inner voice may require unlearning other conditioning.  Its 'par for the course.'  In order to nurture faith in yourself, you have to figure out who you are and the implications.  Ready, get set, go!

6) Take the time you need.  Remind yourself time is a human invention and you also decide how to perceive it.  If you permit fear of not having enough, you may rush and behave in ways that do not work in your inteerest.  Be aware of the element of time.

7) Value delegation.  You need not always be at the centre of the action or focus of attention.  Part of getting where you're going means you need to value how you can learn from and share tasks with others.  You can play a vital role behind the scenes too.

8) Attune to your moods.  How you think and feel isn't always in your best interest.  As you raise awareness about your moods, you gain insight into yourself.  That empowers you to open your senses, and view situations with greater foresight and objectivity.
