I had to force myself to learn how to fight because I knew that I was never a fighter by nature
It took me way too long to overcome the natural anxiety I'd get while fighting. During striking, I was still flinching at punches after like 3 months of training 4 days a week.
What's extremely brutal is, after a year of training, some people would join the gym and surpass me after like 5 months, purely on account of having a naturally aggressive temperament.
In the end I just forced enough time into it that I got "decent", but someone with a better temperament could have become "great" in that same timespan.
Some people were just born to lose. You can not be "anything you like" in this life. It's all determined by your natural talents (temperament).
