> I wish my parents pushed me harder.

Think twice about what you wish for. Parents pushing kids hard are not a panacea, and you might not have gotten as far in life if your parents were like that.

> Basically I have the desire to do "more", but lack the mental and emotional skillsets to be able to execute.

FWIW what usually holds people back isn't what their parents did or the education they received at school. Rather, it is the importance they put on their parents' eyes and on their peers' eyes. Just move on and do.
