And I think brilliance is the easy part. Structure, that's the mountain. To do something repeatedly, consistently, and adequately takes a lot more than inherent nature. Brilliance without structure will always be potential, which gradually mestasizes into regret.
I came across a quote that said:
"You can seem like a millionaire to one person and a homeless person to the next. The ants think you are a giant, and the trees don't even notice you. You think you have a boring life, but the next person might be striving for your lifestyle. Comparison is the thief of joy, so stay kind and keep loving life. Life is all just a big game of perspective."

Jordan Peterson on the 7 domains that give life meaning:
1. Most people want an intimate relationship. don’t just hope for one. define what it would actually look like. picture an ordinary dinner with the people you love. if you’re going to have 10,000 dinners in your lifetime, you might as well get them right.
2. Put your family in order. listen to them. repair what can be repaired. if someone refuses every attempt at communication, walk around them. but don’t neglect the relationships that can be saved. making your family a priority has cascading positive consequences.
3. Surround yourself with people who celebrate your successes and genuinely support you when life gets hard. if someone keeps pulling you down while you’re trying to aim higher, it may be time to let them go. choose friends who encourage your growth instead of rewarding your excuses.
4. Whether it’s a job or a calling, have a plan. become the kind of person employers want to bet on. learn new skills, improve your resume, prepare for opportunities, and keep putting yourself out there. people become successful every day. one of them could be you.
5. Never stop developing yourself. keep learning. stay on the edge of your abilities instead of settling into comfort. invest in your education so you’re always becoming more capable than you were yesterday.
6. Treat yourself like someone you’re responsible for. take care of your body and mind. don’t let your habits or temptations decide the direction of your life. decide the kind of person you want to be, then build habits that move you toward that person.
7. Develop a vision for your life. if you don’t write your own story, you’ll become a character in someone else’s. without a clear aim, you’ll be driven by your impulses or by other people’s expectations. a meaningful life begins with deciding what you’re aiming at.
