I guess I tend to assume this. Most things nowadays are easy because of the work of pioneers in the fields we operate in. Things that are hard are just ambiguous, require a lot of exploration, or, outside of the normal/fun hard things, require some level of aptitude that cannot be reached by the individual or some physical characteristic the individual does not currently have. Or they are a test of resolve.
I like this perspective too - do you assume this perspective for most things you do? I just have a degree of anxiety when starting new things so tend to need to calm myself so another person saying this helps me.
