If you didn't already - I highly encourage you to check [1] The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. It will shift your perspective by showing you how and why most of the people self sabotage themselves and what it takes to do the work.
This was a transformational book for me. Although there are parts to it that are somewhat metaphysical/spiritual. If you are willing to look past those and read the rest for what it's worth it has the potential to impact you very positively.
