Conquer level 5....and then
Success = The Guts to Dream + The Guts to Try + The Guts to Retry after Failed attempt(s).
Success is an altitudinal journey with many possibilities of stopovers and setbacks.
It is amazing to note that the skill David needed to conquer Goliath was acquired while managing the so called 'few sheep' but we can obviously perceive that he must have done that job like his life depended on it. He was so devoted that a great prophet was coming to town and he didn't take a day off or leave to see how the war was fairing. Devotion is sacrosanct.
On this trip, in as much as our mind must be set at the end result, we need to focus on the various milestones or guiding rules and the Bible calls that precepts.
You don't wake up one day and do 100 pressups or pushups for fitness; in fact, on your first day attempt, you may crash at 5 of that with a lot of pains in your joints for another week or two; pains good enough to make you change your mind and your dream of 100 pressups or pushups will die in the dreamland.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Isaiah 28:10-13 KJV

Can you remember the last dream to get better, the training you quited, the book you never read, the business you never started, the fitness exercise you stopped, and so on.
The knowledge of Precepts teaches us to focus on 5 and then journey to 10, and maybe in a month, you will stretch to 20, then 40 in six months and probably 100 after a year. But remember you started by conquering only 5 and 5 was very critical for the entire journey.
Some of us are still contemplating to do or not to do, at level 5.
This is very parallel to any pursuit.
So look at the entire picture of your dream in perspective, BUT focus on your level 5 with everything that you have got in your GUTS....... but you must come to terms with the HELP OF GOD.
TO BE CONTINUED....
