Just this one thing, the desire to become a better person, let that be your guide. But what to do ? Follow sattva. Become infused with sattva, choose sattva, and your path will be clear and direct.
What to do now ? Come to understand this word this idea in full:
sattva सत्त्व - true essence , Being, existence itself. Some call it the quality of purity or goodness ; it renders a person true , honest , wise.
The wise inform us that success is born of sattva, it is not the means. That is, it is by the process of Becoming one is successful in their endeavors, not by their endeavors do they become pure. See the point ?
