I'm not one to view myself as "incapable" of anything. If I do not know a topic, I'll research whatever I can so I can at least understand the gist. If I do not know a skill, I'll take it as a challenge to experience and succeed in it at least once.
It's really hard for me to wrap that I cannot *do* something because it's apparently "difficult" to do.
Reality is difficult, but that's what makes it fun. In a way this kind of attitude makes me do things that I know I'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'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'm asked, "do u enjoy what ur doing?"
I cannot fathom a perspective where I wouldn't enjoy what I'm doing. If I didn't like it, I won't do it and if I have to do it then I'd find a way to like it. No matter what.

It's not that I'm "optimistic". I do not have an alternative outlook where I'll allow myself to feel bad over a disappointment that I know is beyond my control anyway.
I'm not ignorant of reality, I know it's hard. But I also love that it's hard. I love the grit it gives me.

I know that not everyone shares this outlook. It could even be because I'm an enneagram type 7 or that I'm just tryna motivate myself as an ENFP.
I just know that I wouldn't be here today if it wasn'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.
