Interesting topic so I'll chime in -- what I think most people miss (and what you're alluding to in your post) is that they don't really think too in-depth. Here is what I mean: do you ever think differently?
I have some experience in this area so I wanted to give a little advice. Young monkeys, some tips so you don't make the same mistakes I see others routinely make:
Hope this helps. Wish I would've gotten the advice sooner in my career. Great post OP, curious to see others' experiences.

I think you're missing something here. Typically it goes "if you can believe it, you can achieve it." Dreaming about something doesn't get you very far in reality.

You have never heard of Viktor Frankl?
This is one of the greatest quotes of all time and inspired Steven Covey to write about it in his book. Viktor Frankl is a legendary psychiatrist/psychologist who wrote Man's Search for Meaning.
Viktor Frankl was a pseudointellectual hack par excellence. "Oh yeah, lemme take a few ideas of C.G. Jung, Joseph Campbell, et al out of context, rip off Neet-Chan a bit, and then spice it up with Holocaust eschatology, just because people are into that right now and it sells like hot cakes."
You might as well take "Think and Grow Rich" as a profound work.

No sense in living in the past. King, take it from a drunk king going to sleep with a girl he loves, don’t hit her up. You’re better than that and find someone who loves you.
Don´t keep your mind on girls that don´t deserve you, King. If you are meant to be together, she will come back to you, so better prepare to become better, my man.
Thoughts on thots?
Woke up this morning for an exam, gf pulled me back into bed, needless to say, I was pretty relaxed when I waltzed onto the campus
