This is the way you want your life is going. It includes not only your current state, but also your dreams and what you are doing to achieve them. We all have a general life direction and it is in our power to change that direction by doing things to better ourselves.
You can take this inot your own hands, my friend. See a career counselor. Enroll in classes. Improve performance in order to seek a promotion. Just whatever you do, take the first step!
My advice for improving your general life direction is to plan ahead, but be flexible. You should always have a general idea of where you’ll be in six month, a year, 2 years. However it’s also ok if you want to change that plan as you go as long as you are actively working towards your goals. When making plans be sure to take into account the balance between your desires and reality.
