>>4065860>Why do some people get good really fast and others struggle?>It makes me very angry seeing people half my age who put in no effort succeeding at things which I failed at.Don't make it about other people, it's not a competition. I can guarantee you that people who become good fast don't do so because they really want to be better than some other sob. They do it because of what it means to them.
Also effort ? progress
If you have a huge rock in your garden that you want to get rid of and try to push it, it might never get anywhere. Whereas someone who uses a lever might instantly succeed.
So maybe your approach is just wrong.
>I'm improving but I'm not improving fast enough. At this rate I won't be good until I'm very old, if ever.Seems to me like your attitude is part of the problem. I'm not judging I can relate actually.
I used to obsess a lot about if I was gmi and feeling vengeful of people who were getting really good, while just having fun.
Getting to the next level is like climbing a mountain, it might take everything you have just to get there. So packing the weights of ngmi, vengefulness and jealousy for the trip might just be the sraw that broke the camels back.
I used to really hate that quote from Bob Ross about believing in yourself. It always seemed like feel good, overly optimistic, hippie piffle to me.
But maybe it's just about letting go of the extra weights.
So here you go anon: “The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do. Anything. As long as you believe.”
