Sometimes life simplifies the decision making on the right choice/path to follow.
Seeing obstacles and difficulty, less as a negative, but more of an opportunity to grow and be/perform better.
That was my first and most important lesson in Architecture School (and now well extended into other areas of my life)...that if you see an opportunity to make a design/situation better - and the time is available to do so - you do exactly that. You'll always surprise yourself and others around you and inspire all to a higher level.
Simply put, don't be afraid of the work involved to do better!
