Loving anything is a tall order. Some brains just don't work that way.

Taking steps is all that matters. You can have amazing results and not "love it". Actions matter for results.

You're right, but some folks lose motivation and give up. "Love" might be too strong a word, but finding joy in what you do and celebrating the small achievements is key to maintaining motivation IMHO.

Hmm. Might be better to persist when you don’t love what you do, but can look forward to results.

Both these graphs could show the same person doing two different things with the same attitude, which is no motivation at all.

Just do it every day. Fuck results. Fuck loving it. This worked for me.

I've been learning guitar for the past 5 years and this is so true for me.

Love this. Reminds me of the “plateau of disappointment” James Clear talks about in Atomic Habits.

That's what I'm banking on. Got a passion YouTube channel running. 5 videos in and 69 (nice) subscribers but all the comments are super positive with some people saying "this is the most underrated channel on youtube" and I feel at some point it'll grow exponentially.

If not that's OK because I'm making the art I want to make.

Youtube is so good for expressing your passion. You get a chance to make money doing it and if it never happens atleast you had fun. Tho alot of people have passion for money and unfortunately results in some misinformative fake videos or just negative negative videos.
