I know this is deeply trite but the last paragraphs remind me of how “amateur” traces back to amo/amas/amat - to love in Latin. Like - something might be a slog but can you still remind yourself why you love it? Can you still feel that love for it? And then that can set you free, and it makes it light. And also the qualities of being an amateur, the lightness and ease, can also be what makes someone truly great at something.
