Allaborate

 

Allaborate - to work hard on something.

It can be disheartening to work hard at something and not see much progress. But when you keep going at something, you improve, even if it is a little at a time. Yes, there is some natural ability that can give you an advantage at the start, but even the most talented have to keep practicing to improve on their skill. You can feel like you're going round in circles, but really it's a spiral and you are, slowly but surely, improving, so don't lose heart. That hard work will yield results in the end.
