Making personal decisions

Are you the type that lets circumstances or other people make decisions for you? Permitting other people to determine the kind of life you live?  It is important to be reminded that sometimes the people you entrust with making your decisions may have selfish interests to serve, therefore your desires or goals may get compromised hence make you settle for less. It is obvious that not everybody understands you or has your plight at heart, so it is only you, who can do things best for yourself because you understand yourself more than anyone else
