This reminds me of something someone told me about hobbies, and becoming good at something: If you want to become really good at something, find simple enjoyment in doing the thing, and not in other people or the results. Like, don't become a metal bass player because you want to play in a band to perform at Wacken. That will fail and disappoint. Instead, find enjoyment in rhythm kicking people like a damn horse, or find enjoyment in how different rhythm structures can be, and sounds an instrument can make. For me, it's becoming really interesting to understand how different fundamental rhythms of different genres are.
