Sure there are lots of articles like https://hbr.org/2015/07/stop-trying-to-please-everyone that will tell you things that you already know.
There are inspiration articles to tell you interesting facts about people who almost never made it, to inspire you to work toward your dreams, such as http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/249961.
You can even find statistics that tell you exactly how much time you spend wasting time, if you really want to know... http://www.techinsider.io/what-cities-have-the-worst-traffic-2015-8.
But by taking the time to focus on what's truly important, what gives you the biggest return on investment, you don't have to read through tons of articles to find your best fit.
You know what's best for you. Stop doubting your instincts and take action.
Be authentic. Be daring. Be conscientious. Be devoted. Think about your alphabet of the things you want to be - write them down and practice them daily. It makes you perfect. And remember, everything began with the A, B, Cs!
