Consistently delivering your best isn't easy because many factors affect your performance that aren't in your control. Yet performing at a high level more often than not is a difference maker not only for you, but also for those you work with, lead, or work for. 

One way you can leverage what you have control over is to identify your keys to success. What do you tend to think, feel, do, etc. when you are performing at your best? Profile out a few standout performances you've had and look for these patterns. 

Once you know your keys to success you can use them to your advantage to put yourself in the best position to perform at your best. It may not always be easy to put them into action, but at least you will have a clear idea of what your road to success looks like.

Focus on the process, not the outcome. Embrace the journey. Both good pieces of advice to help you get or stay focused on what matters most like the things you can control, aligning with your values, and the present moment. 

Words matter though. They shape our perspectives, our emotions, and our actions. If we "use" them right, they can help us get what we need in order to do what we want or need to.

The definition of a journey is traveling from one place to another while an adventure refers to something that is exciting yet potentially hazardous. So which word best triggers the most useful perspective, emotions, and actions for you? Or is there another word?
