Any time something initially comes to you easily, it’s tempting to take your foot off the gas and try to coast the rest of the way.

You coast for a while, just long enough for coasting to become the new normal, just long enough to forget that there’s even a gas pedal.

And eventually you grind to a halt just above the base of the mountain you’re trying to climb.

You play the blame game – first you blame the mountain for existing, then you blame yourself for being incapable of climbing it.

But at some point you mature, come to terms with reality, and realize that all you have to do is put your foot back on the gas.

And then you start making progress again.
