Ok. I want to share my way too :)

I was happy to met a wonderful mentor in the early days of my career. I was expecting to hear mainly technical stuff, but instead he was talking about soft skills, empathy, lifestyle, communications and so on. Only few months later I've realized how actually important was all that stuff for my career.

So that's what I would recommend to you: find a good mentor who looks beyond hard skills. It's hard, but look for a fellow who is happy about their career :D.

Another thing I would highly recommend is to find an accountability partner or join a mastermind group. Those can be your peers who are interested in meeting from time to time and talk about career-related topics. You can discuss your goals and progress, work-related problems, and keep each other accountable. That helps a lot in actually making progress more than anything else.

Hope this is helpful. If you want to talk more about all these things, I'm always open to chat.
