It is true that some people may help you with some very many things but it is worthy to note that you are absolutely responsible for what becomes of your life. That means that life itself is basically an adventure and progression in individuality, not collectiveness. Everyone has a part to play for their life to be meaningful. As a matter of fact, life will not deliver into your hands the things that you deserve but you have to place demand on life by taking responsibilities for your life through your actions.

The world is so increasing in competitiveness that the same goal you seek is also being sought by many others, so you cannot afford to live your life carelessly or on fate. If you do not make the right choices today nor make the right decisions today, then the consequences will wait for you tomorrow. No matter the kind of help you have, you will still be required to take certain steps yourself. Okay take this instance: people may help you to bring food to your table, it is even possible for them to put it in your mouth, but you are the one to do the chewing and swallowing yourself, not them. So if you refuse to chew and swallow the food, you will not draw the nutrients from the food.
The decisions and choices you make will define what your life will look like, this is why you have to apply wisdom to it. Obviously, wisdom, in its simplest definition is having the knowledge of the right thing to do and then going ahead to do it. In life, it is not just what you know that creates the desired result that you seek, but what you do with what you know. There are many people that have studied the field of crop cultivation. As a matter of fact, they can give you an analysis of the best time to plant and harvest, and other good farm practices, but if they do not put it to practice by planting the seeds, there will be nothing to harvest.
In nature, you will not find an orange juice just like that. The most that nature can deliver to you is orange itself. So if you want to get out the juice from the orange, you have a responsibility to squeeze out the juice from it. So you see, in life, it is when you have fulfilled the requirements of your responsibilities that you will obtain the result. In school work for example, you cannot excel without putting in your time to studies. A student that does not take the responsibility to study well has already subscribed for failure. When exams is set, no one will ask you if you are ready, you are the one that has the responsibility to stay ready and wait for the exam.
Every action that anyone takes will surely come with its own attendant results. So it does not stop at taking responsibilities for your actions but also taking responsibilities for the results that come from your actions. One of the signs that show how mature someone is getting is the ability to take responsibilities for one's actions and the consequences. Obviously, you can only determine your actions but not the consequences. So if you will be unwilling to shoulder the consequences of your actions, then you should stay away from such actions. It is also worthy to note that it is not only actions that have consequences, even inactions carry their own consequences. Being dormant when you should act is actually a negative action which has negative consequences.

Actions can be equated to planting seeds. No matter how long a seed stays in a jar, it cannot yield fruit without being planted. But when it is planted, the fruits are expected. In the same way, if you know the responsibilities to take and do not take it, then the results will not come. But when you take the responsibility and undertake the actions, then the results will be in view. In conclusion, the outcome of your life is basically dependent on the responsibilities you take, your choices, actions, inactions, and decisions. So take them wisely.
