job vs objective

it is like lining up two screw holes. THey are right next to each other. You just want to move from one hole to the other. But just moving that half inch takes a lot of time and energy, mindset.
I know I was in sales and I kept cycling through sales jobs. Not because I was lazy or didn’t want to succeed but because my mind was wired to approach a job as a b student. Do enough to get by, maybe above average but I was never truly beholden to specific results. So when I was in positions of competition I subconsciously reverted to those behaviors. I thought I would throw myself into the deep end and develop the instincts. And I did. But it has taken me three years.
