Getting to the next "level"

I often hear of people trying to get to the next level. I also try to get to the next level. I also noticed that there are obstacles. One obstacle is that there may be no one to help you. Advancement is sometimes not possible alone. We are social creatures. We need each other. Like it or not the group function affects us.

More subtley, there may be people to who can help but are either unwilling or unavailable. This is a source and seed for anger. You know that you can get better, but no one is helping to get you there. You see others advancing, but can't seem to do it yourself. This is the most frustrating of situations.
