We’re told to focus on what we enjoy and are good at because it’s so damn hard to find the willpower to consistently do good work. The commitment and hard work it takes is already too much for most, but for it to be something you do not enjoy is like trying to run a muddy hill. You might make some solid progress, but you will slide right back down as soon as you stop.

Consistency leads to confidence; however, given enough time will lead to complacency. To avoid this pitfall, stopping and reflecting will help create visibility and avoid falling victim to this trap.
