So, you've found this thing that you absolutely love to do. All pumped up and ready to go all in? That's great! But hope you know that the process will still test you? There'll be some boring, monotonous, non-glamorous and challenging aspects, that'll need you to be focused, diligent and consistent regardless, especially when "passion" and strong interest won't be enough to motivate you. I hope in those times, you remember to embra...
