At the point where you see that you're in charge of your working destiny, you begin to realize that self-management is the vehicle that you need to take you from wherever you are to wherever you want to go. You're not a passive passenger. You're not an idle dreamer. You're not subject to the whims and fancies of fate and circumstance. You're in charge.
