Feeling like I am destined to achieve greatness

I've had this thought for a while, so I guess I'd better type it out while it's clear in my head. 

Many of us, including myself always perceive success as an outward possession or perception of those we admire or look toward as role models. These definitions of success capture extrinsic factors such as financial wellbeing, a healthy lifestyle, physical beauty, and even intellectual wellbeing or acumen. The problem with this mindset is that it's purely an output-driven analysis of success. You've viewed history's greatest leaders, you've seen their impact across thousands of years and see yourself deserving of that stature. However, Marcus Aurelius himself highlights in his book, Meditations, the basis for remaining grounded. Thus, instead of looking at successful outcomes, which I like to think of as balance sheets, because they're effectively snap shots of individuals in points of time, you should look toward an input-driven analysis. 

Distilling the inputs of great leaders and advocates for change will lead you down what I like to call a Path of Ideals. They are notions and advice that has been passed down and echoed. These include things like drinking 8 glasses of water, practice gratitude, remain physically active (yoga, martial arts, weight training, running, etc.), practice open-mindedness and mental wellbeing (meditation, therapy, detox from screens, reading, etc.), so on and so forth. What we find is that many of us do not make a conscious effort into these ideals despite knowing that they exist and accrue benefits over the long-term. When you focus your energy on a fixed outcome, and tie your identity to that outcome, you allow yourself to falter when it does not manifest. At the end of the day, a student who learns the basis of financial modelling opens doors in Corporate Finance, Investment Banking, Financial Consulting, Corporate Restructuring, Venture Capital, Financial Planning, Real Estate, and more. The specialization of the core skill may differ from industry to industry, but the core input will be used nonetheless. Applying this more holistically, if you focus on the inputs that lead you to opportunities, you will ultimately pursue career paths that you never would have known existed nor interested you. 

If you've read the above, you're probably wondering why I thought of this when I read your post. Primarily, I don't believe you're outcome driven, or at least, not entirely. I find you posses aimless ambition and energy. You're striving for an outcome that is 'worthy' of your time, instead you should be striving to make sure you get 8 hours of sleep, working out or getting in shape, reading further into philosophy (or whatever interests you), or a number of things that could help improve your quality of life.
