I& #39;m not one to view myself as "incapable" of anything. If I do not know a topic, I& #39;ll research whatever I can so I can at least understand the gist. If I do not know a skill, I& #39;ll take it as a challenge to experience and succeed in it at least once.
It& #39;s really hard for me to wrap that I cannot *do* something because it& #39;s apparently "difficult" to do.

Reality is difficult, but that& #39;s what makes it fun. In a way this kind of attitude makes me do things that I know I& #39;m not good at but will try anyway cause why not?
It bothers me when things like "talent" or "biological advantage" comes into play - because I personally believe that a strong work ethic compensates for lack of advantage.
I& #39;m not an artist because I was "born" to create. It took years of dedicated work. I once spent a few years drawing sketches at least 3 or 4 times a day, everyday nonstop.

My point being, the results we enjoy now of successes we can see -- are not achieved overnight.
I find it amusing when I& #39;m asked, "do u enjoy what ur doing?"

I cannot fathom a perspective where I wouldn& #39;t enjoy what I& #39;m doing. If I didn& #39;t like it, I won& #39;t do it and if I have to do it then I& #39;d find a way to like it. No matter what.
It& #39;s not that I& #39;m "optimistic". I do not have an alternative outlook where I& #39;ll allow myself to feel bad over a disappointment that I know is beyond my control anyway.

I& #39;m not ignorant of reality, I know it& #39;s hard. But I also love that it& #39;s hard. I love the grit it gives me.
I know that not everyone shares this outlook. It could even be because I& #39;m an enneagram type 7 or that I& #39;m just tryna motivate myself as an ENFP.
I just know that I wouldn& #39;t be here today if it wasn& #39;t for 1) my friends and family who built me up and support me, 2) learning type and knowing what my flaws and bad habits were, and 3) maintaining a growth-centered attitude to curb any feelings of lowness and incompetence.
