The list can go on and on, and every single one of those things is a good, tangible intention to set.
But amidst all the practical, proactive goals you’ll set out to accomplish. There is one thing you can’t forget, one thing that needs to drive you through all of it:

You have to want to reach that excellence in yourself. If you don’t truly want it with all of your heart and soul, that list won’t mean anything, even if every single box gets checked. You have to feel like you have no choice, that your love and passion for the work is a conduit, a driving force. Crank up the desire to do the best work you are capable of and let yourself feel that ambition. You have to stay determined to succeed even when the going gets rough. Even when all you’re hearing is rejection. Chose to get up time and time again because you know your potential, and you know you have it in you to deliver the goods.
