susceptible to believing what you’re told, and doing what you’re
                              instructed to do. Because you don’t have that greater purpose to

                              focus on, to base your decisions on. The greater purpose that
                              dictates what you’re willing to do and what you’re not. It is easy
                              to spot others around you who may not have a strong sense of
                              purpose either. They’re the ones who often flit through their life
                              with no real rhyme or reason. They’re the ones who work

                              pointless jobs which either inspire them or fill them with
                              happiness, yet have no real desire to change the situation.
                              They’re the ones who spend far too much time focused on empty

                              gossip and other meaningless information which serves no real
                              purpose. This lack of direction is what manipulators are just
                              waiting to pounce on, so if you haven’t found your sense of
                              purpose yet, it’s time to start thinking long and hard about what
                              your purpose should be. Give yourself something concrete to

                              focus on and you’re less likely to fall prey to deception and
                              distraction.



                              Take On New Opportunities - New opportunities are all around
                              you, all you need to do is be brave enough to take a chance and a
                              leap of faith. Manipulators want to stop you from taking on new

                              opportunities because they want to tie you down in the same
                              routine. They want you to remain in the same cycle that you are
                              since this makes their job of maintaining control much easier.
                              That’s the reason they sow seeds of self-doubt in your mind, and

                              why they work hard to discourage you from improving yourself
                              or seizing new opportunities. Every time you grow stronger and
                              more confident, you’re weakening the hold that they have on
                              you, which is what they’re working hard to prevent. They’ll try

                              too hard to keep you in your place they’ll even resort to making
                              you feel ashamed at even entertaining the thought of taking on
                              new opportunities to better yourself. Don’t let them stop you,
                              and don’t let self-doubt get in the way. Even successful people

                              made plenty of mistakes along the way to get to where they are
