Is it normal for practicing music to be painful?

I play piano, drums, and just started ukulele. I love hearing awesome
musicians play these instruments, and I hope to be as good as the
best. I want to be as good as the best, but practice for me is so
painful and boring sometimes.

I am teaching myself to play ukulele with books, and moving from one
chord to another is hard. I know I have just started, but it seems so
hard it gets on my nerves, haha. I also love hearing great pianists,
and it in a way intimidates me hearing so many great pianists,
especially when some of them are my age. I also find practicing drums
probably the most annoying, because I honestly don't feel like I'm
getting anywhere sometimes.

I have lessons for drums and piano btw.

I also want to one day sing, but I do not want a vocal coach because
of the cost. So many singers inspire me and make me want to be like
them, but learning how to sing seems so hard. How hard it is to
practice sometimes knocks my dreams down, because I feel like I'm not
going to get anywhere at times.

I would just like to hear some advice on how other musicians can
practice when it is hard.
