I wonder if there are any particular initial conditions that led you to genuinely enjoy it.
For example, a lucky streak or parental encouragement might have led you to make "I'm awesome at bowling" part of your identity, creating a virtuous circle of getting better and being proud and wanting to get even better.
If you had a friend or older brothre that had been doing it for 6 months that was with you when you first tried bowling, you might have decided that you simply weren't any good at it, and therefore why waste your time practising something you're clearly no good at?
I wonder how much of what we all decide to dedicate our lives to is simply down to random initial conditions.
