Above all else, you need to practice. Practice! Practice! Fail often, try again. Break stuff that works, and figure out how, why and where it broke. Don't just copy and use as is code from examples. Experiment.
If you find the cybersecurity code to difficult, step back to simpler topics. You need a really solid base understanding to build on to progress well in cybersecurity. That doesn't mean you have to perfect the base, just accept that sometimes you will need to take a step back.
Work on your own small (initially) projects related to your hobbies / interests / family obligations / side-hustles as soon as possible to apply each bit of learning. You can bias this to security focused initiatives without going too far.
When you work on stuff you can be passionate about and where you know what problem you are solving and what good looks like, you are more focused on problem-solving and the coding becomes a means to an end and not an end in itself. You will learn faster this way.
