In the world we live in today, nothing is free. To get things you need to sacrifice others. The kind of life you will get is only as good as what you are able to leave today, because what it is crucial for you in your current situation may be curving your progress.
In fact. If you are not where you want to be, it must be because of two reasons, whether you don't even believe in the magic of your dreams or you don't want to sacrifice the person you are today for the person you will become tomorrow, So you have to ask yourself permanently whether you want to get rid of your old bad habits to get some blessing rituals or not.
Another thing is that within the journey to achieve your goals, you will get -for sure- rejected and hated, and if you are not ready enough to endure and resist, you will fail and give up. That way, sometimes we need to leave our ego at home, to not get stuck in an emotional vicious circle, in which all you are looking for is revenge. I personally believe in revenge, yet as Les brown said: the best revenge is massive success. Therefore sacrifice the instant gratification for the ultimate greatness, if you keep looking for people's appreciation, all you will get is pain, since the only person you have to impress and transcend is yourself. By believing this, no one will be able to change your mood or to make you sad, as an old proverb says : if there is no enemy within, the enemies outside will do you no harm.
Eventually, the mental aspect is very important, because our lives are only a reflection of our thoughts, we cannnot get the inner peace if we cannot control our thoughts, we need to give up the bad thinking in order to get some positive attitude, with which everything is possible and doable. So start believing in your greatness, because success and happiness were made to be for you. Make the right decision and sacrifice the right things, at the end of the day it is your journey, so fertilize and water it to get the best result.
