A juggler? Nice!
But no you're very right. I've been reading a book recently that basically teaches that you have to choose your problems, since life will always have problems. Going against the grain is part of what makes life meaningful.
When it came to being good at something, the writer basically said you can choose to have the problem of not knowing that skill and not reaping the benefits of that skill, or you can learn that skill but have the problem of having to dedicate time and effort consistently to become fluent in that skill.

I wish you the best in learning code for future projects, you're definitely making me think about learning code, since that seems like a great skill to know for then future.

Oh! I like this....... am learning something at the moment but am worried because I felt I should have gone passed the level am in right now.
But am not relenting anyways......

Can you please tell me the title of the book?

The Art of Not Giving a **** by Mark Manson. A friend had recommended it to me. Overall the writing is decent (he overuses cussing to grab your attention I believe), but the overall message is good. Basically helping you figure out what exactly you care about, and not worrying about the details that really don't matter.
