A tweet thread [1] from @realscientists (a Twitter account authored by a different active scientist each week) supports this point:

"People think math and coding are skills u r born with. ok there r prodigies out there. but most talented folks just work rly hard at it." -@realscientists

Replying to @realscientists "@realscientists Being good at math/coding usually coincides with it being fun." -@JesperEs

Replying to @JesperEs "@jesperes yep. Or useful... I hated coding in undergrad. Then forced to solve problems using code during my masters. Ended up loving it." -@realscientists

Finding a piece that you love or badly want to learn will allow you to put in the hard work needed to learn it and you'll progress in skill at the piano in the process.
