^very very true. Something that made me put off music for a while is because I didnt really know the synths and programs i was using. Learn your tools inside and out. Pick a synth and try and make your own patches.
Alot of it has to do with patience. You must be ready to fail and not completely give up.
You must set yourself up mentally and be positive. I cant really get into it when im not in the best of mental health.
Something that helped me is giving myself time constraints in doing each track. I, like many others here, have ADHD. The vision of the track becomes lost very easily when thought out too much.
And most of all have fun with it. Think about making music as a fun thing to do. Not a chore or a task, writing music weekly should help you unwind from the troubles that you face out in the real world, not add to them.
