May be I am completely unaware of how time it actually takes to master something and setting up wrong expectations.
An oft-quoted metric is 10,000 hours to truly master a skill. Translated into the working world: That's working full time at a job for roughly 5 years.
Have you felt this, and how to achieve your goals or master something without giving up?
When I started boxing as a teenager there was a life-size cutout of Mike Tyson in the corner of the gym. The words "Your competition is training harder than you" were emblazoned across his chest. That message stuck with me, and I still use it as a motivator. When you're ready to quit, just remember: there's someone else who wants this more than you do, and they're not quitting yet. Keep going!
