Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
-Helen Keller

"Despite racking up impressive accomplishments, you feel frustrated with your career — convinced you should be achieving more.... These feelings often stem from a common error: buying into others' definitions of success," observes Robert Steven Kaplan in his article, "Reaching Your Potential," in Harvard Business Review (July, 2008). To reach your potential, Kaplan suggests following these steps:

Know yourself by identifying your strengths and weaknesses and the activities you truly enjoy doing.
Identify 3 - 4 critical activities essential for success in your desired or current role. Then develop a plan for excelling in these activities.
Demonstrate character and leadership (traits that make the difference between good and great performance) by putting the interests of your company and your colleagues ahead of your own.
