How To Take Action
I would suggest gaining self-awareness first. It's like knowing what tools you have in your toolbox and which ones are best for the job. Write down what you're really good at and the resources you have. That way, you know what you're working with.
Next, set your own goals. Think about what making yourself proud looks like. What do you want to achieve? Make a list of these goals. Remember, they should make you wanna jump out of bed in the morning excited to get to work.
Focus on doing a few things really well. This is like being an awesome baker rather than just an okay cook who bakes, grills, and fries. Pick one or two big tasks that help you reach your goals and put all your energy into doing those best. This means saying no to other stuff that might distract you or spread you too thin.
To do this, think about effort as something special. Only put your time and energy into projects that really matter to you. Don't waste effort on things that don't help you meet your own high standards.
Lastly, dive deep into what you choose to do instead of trying to do everything. It's like when you play your favorite video game and know all the secret levels – that's because you've spent time getting really good at it. Work on your chosen tasks or goals like that, learn everything you can, and give it your all. This kind of dedication brings more success and makes you way happier.

there's only one person who knows what I am capable of and what resources I had at my disposal and whether or not I left it all on the field and so that bar continues to raise because that man knows and so my goal has been to make that man proud and that is enough and so that is what I seek to do and by doing that or at least making that decision it's forced me to do fewer things because you can't do many things that well and put that much effort because otherwise you'd be spreading yourself too thin and so with that level of effort as the new bar I have to be very strategic about the few things I decided to dedicate my time to to make it worth doing and so that's been kind of the big unlock for me
