“The only use of an obstacle is to be overcome. All that an obstacle does with brave men is, not to frighten them, but to challenge them.” -Woodrow Wilson

Enjoy the process. Enjoy the pain. The hardship. Enjoy the ups and the downs. It will make the journey easier.

If you can get to a point where you enjoy the hard parts of starting and continuously doing something new, there will be nothing else stopping you. You’ll be able to accomplish anything. 

It may not be an enjoyment but more of an appreciation for the hard work. You should appreciate the work. It’s part of the process. It needs to be done. You can’t learn something new without taking specific steps. 

Enjoy the hard parts. Enjoy the hours of work. Live in this moment of pain. Of suffering. Lack of sleep. Lack of a social life. It will be gone before you know it. 

Try to make it as enjoyable as possible. Don’t do the same thing day after day. That’s boring. Switch it up. Try something new. A new strategy for learning. A new technique. 

If you’re bored. You’re tired. You’re wanting to give up. Try something else. Most of all don’t give up. Push through the shit. It may be difficult but it’s like when you stub your toe, it sucks in this moment. You need to think long-term. 

Think about what comes from this hard work. From these hours of reading. Hours of studying. Think if the end result. That’s how you begin enjoying the hard work. 

Enjoy the challenges. Live for the challenging parts of learning something new.
