1. Why do you find it frustrating? Most of what you wrote reads, to me, as an impartial observation about yourself. Things that just are. But you say it's frustrating a couple of times, as though you would like to be different...
2. I've had that arrogant sense of how easy it would be to master many things... fields of computing, science, therapy. Probably most of my life. These days I'm beginning to think that in so many fields I could, if not master them, at least go far if I put the effort in, but it's all in doing... and doing's the hard bit. Having ideas is the easy bit. Having inspiration and intuition is too. Acting on them... that's the hard bit. And maybe that's the bit that matters, to me anyway. Doing is so hard that I feel a lot more humble these days, and a lot more appreciative of those who do act on their inspirations.
