When you are pursuing a goal that takes a very long time to reach, how do you stick with it?
After the honeymoon phase, there are no more surprises, no more mind-paradigm-changing knowledge, not that much growth.
Just a slow, no-end-in-sight slugging for what seems like forever.
Especially when you are alone and it does not provide you with immediate rewards like money or praise. Or you don't get paid to do it.
I find such situations very difficult and often quit. (This did cost me multiple times in the past.) But I don't want to. I want to stick with something for a long period.

How do I do it? Any advice or book suggestions?
