How to become more motivated to learn Python

[Cai Gengyang]

So I have completed up to CodeAcademy's Python Unit 2 , now moving on to Unit3 : Conditionals and Control Flow. 

But I feel my motivation wavering , at times I get stuck and frustrated when trying to learn a new programming language ?

This might not be a technical question per say, but it is a Python programming related one. How do you motivate a person (either yourself or your child) to become more interested in programming and stick with it ? Is determination in learning (especially in a tough field like software) partly genetic ?
