Keep the end in sight. What's your goal? What are you striving for? Be specific. Know what you're trying to accomplish. As you climb the ladder to success, sometimes a very tall ladder, make sure that ladder is leaning against the correct wall!

Don't forget to have fun with your music!! It's so easy to get caught up in the daily practice grind and focus on perfection. Most of us began playing because it is fun; regardless of monetary gain, stardom, etc. Ya' just love to play, right?!! Keep that in mind and your playing will be a lot more fun to listen to!
