Yes, I think groundhog day and similar stories ( Mother of Learning, Time Braid) give great examples of this- if you really want to drive this home to your system 1, I recommend the “split selves” and “second chances” techniques in this post to drive it home by imagining that YOU’RE actually in a looping fic.
Note that I don’t think that it’s necessarily bad to drive home an “Honor Harrington” type message where the hero is practicing a lot at skills they’re already naturally gifted at—I think this is the most effective path to success, and you definitely don’t want ot hammer in the meme of “even if I’m naturally really really bad at something, I can be the best through practice.”
