What are you doing that is worth doing but that you are not doing well?

Create an exit plan and execute it.

       
Make a list of everything you are doing that is worth your life.

Ask others to give you honest feedback, telling them your standard is excellence.

       
Remember: you may never be the best in the world, but you can give the best of yourself.

       
Reorganize your priorities to give more time to what you do well and drop those things you do poorly.
