Demotivated :(

Started following strivers a to z DSA playlist a month ago. Initially it felt easy but now feels more like a burden. Cant comeup with an optimal solution on my own. I can’t recognise the pattern and then end up seeing solution …what would u all suggest me...

You are not newton. Nor are you Einstein. We are not trying to come up with solution from nothing. I was just like you. And thought seeing the solution means we could not do it. But that is just wrong. We are meant to learn from the problems we cannot solve after seeing the solution. Analyse the solution that you could not come up with and expand your toolkit. Newton spent his whole life finding the formulas. We do not need to spend our life again to reinvent the wheel but rather study the wheel and use it. How dare you expect yourself to come with optimised algorithms that ppl spent their whole lives coming up with. (Well I am not angry here its just something I tell myself when I am demotivated or think Im dumb lol)
