When it gets easier

The second time you do something, it might not be any easier than the first; it might even be harder.

It might be that way for the third and fourth time too.

But eventually, it will change.

“Difficult forever” is not a thing. Something will change. Either the task will get easier, or you’ll gain skills, or you’ll develop technique, or you’ll become more resilient.

It just might not happen right away.

But when you’re doing work that matters, you’re in it for the long haul whether it’s easy or not.
