Deciding to work towards something specific in your riding is a good thing. And, usually, you will feel positive about that decision, and all the work involved to get there, initially. Until you realize you must 'do' the work - and the novelty starts to wear off a little! Riding, just like most things, will involve effort. Especially when you are working to improve or reach a specific goal or outcome. And that 'effort' can often result in you quitting!  It's normal to experience all of the excitement at the beginning of something. A new hobby, project, or goal.  And it's also 'normal' to notice that as you get further down the road, it can feel hard.  This is to be expected and even planned for with your goals.
