Completely changing my mindset toward success. Only having positive thoughts. All actions start with me to attain my most desired goals. No complaining, no blaming, no hesitating, and no coulda woulda shoulda. Instead, "Next time I'm in this situation, this is what I'll do to be successful." Staying focused on the goal. Failure is only a necessary stepping stone toward success and is only there to tell you how to do it better.

Rising above standards and expectations set upon me by others. Only you set your own goals. Be the best available in your career and you will be set for life.

"Win as though you're used to it, lose as though you like it."

That sounds exhausting.

It sounds preferable to the fear of failure that I'm guilty of. Riding the rollercoaster of frantic overwork followed by existential dread about being found out to be less than perfect. That is exhausting; plus there's not much to show afterwards except for a pile of meticulously polished but ultimately abandoned projects..
