There's your problem. You get that stuff by inner transformation, not by doing one thing or the next. What you do is merely an expression of your inner state. Your actions can alter you, of course, but you've got to be ready for change. I doubt you've any idea what will really change you. (Although if you're set up to be an activist, put off further planning until you come back. That's the kind of situation that'll teach you a lot about yourself.)
Start journaling. Some hefty self-examination would do you a world of good.
