All you can do is try to make a differencial. Not a differencial from where you are. That might happen or might not. But a differencial between where you would have ended up if you did nothing and if you did something to better it. Doing something, anything, to improve your life will always produce a positive differencial in that regard. Unless you really choose something stupid to work on.
Whether realistic or not, if you have unmet expectations you'll likely be disappointed, depressed, and/or angry.
The people, circumstances, finances, "leadership", projects, entertainment, etc. do not do this to you.
You and your expectations upset you.
Living with hope and gratitude is a far healthier mindset than expectations and malaise.

Differencial? lol. AI strikes again
A differential with a distinctional proves the spelling is not A.I..
Hope is not the problem.
Expectations are.
