This is maybe less of a gift than you think and can also be learned with practice. It's about having a growth mindset. If you practice framing things in terms of growing ability then everything becomes achievable and the challenge becomes enjoyable.

Yeah, cultivating a growth mindset is really, really important. And it really is cultivating...you'll have a hundred reasons why you "can't" knocking on your door, and you'll have to be persistent to slay each one.

But once a "growth mindset" is habit, it gets easier.
