Congrats, a similar epiphany changed my course 7-8 years ago, highly recommended.
Naval was a big nudge factor, he has a way of making things pretty succint:
Funny, I had run into the tweet you linked back in the day and wrote down a note: "if they can train you, they can train someone else." It seemed extremely wise and was exactly what I was observing at the time: people who did big things carved it out of the universe; there was no playbook, nothing that scaled, just finding a niche and learning how to occupy it, and what ensued seemed less like work than an expression of who and what they were.
That seems about as good as it gets: be whatever you are, and have the universe bend around you in a way that you like. Although I suppose there is some tailoring of what you are to what the universe will reward. Few people can ignore that half of the feedback loop.
