Why do minor obstacles derail our focus so easily?

True momentum is built through repetition rather than bursts of intense passion. When the initial thrill of a new project fades, we often mistake the resulting quiet for a lack of direction. In reality, sustained effort requires accepting the mundane phases of work. By lowering our expectations of constant enthusiasm and focusing instead on simple, daily re-engagement, we create a durable routine that survives both doubt and fatigue.
