Love this and @PickleballPhil’s OP.
I can totally attest that this has been true in various endeavors I’ve pursued.
Over the past couple decades I feel like I’ve worked hard to hone my “growth” mindset. Has anyone read that book called “Mindset” by Carol Dweck?
I recently finished listening to the audio and analyzed myself throughout the journey. I found that I do have a strong growth mindest, which has come from many years of practice and life experiences.
I used to have a call center job, in college and it SUCKED… the whole time! haha. But I decided to try to make it not suck. So I set a personal goal to try to make every customer that called in, laugh. A simple chuckle 
I ended up getting an early promotion (before I was even eligible) and also a raise. But… it was to a customer service role. And those phone calls were MUCH worse! #embracethesuck right?! And so I did… I carried on my old goal and it really made my job fun.
They say that if you love what you do you’ll never work another day in your life. So any “work” that I have to do, I try to embrace the suck and turn it into something I love… until I actually do LOVE it… and then it’s no longer work!
Sometimes it’s hard to do, but it sure makes like feel like 
’s and 
’s
