Wow Good! I'm glad you are here while balancing your job. I also believe that even though Steemit is absolutely incredible. You need to diversify.
I love that you emphasize the skill sets and being able to adapt. As well as not worrying all the time. When we worry all the time we create a toxic environment for ourselves.

The Steem blockchain isn't something I'd be able to subsist on entirely ... yet! It's not a revenue stream to me anymore; it's a hobby that I can earn a few steem for, and as a result, invest in the future of others on the chain.
It is a way I can be a patron to the work of others, and help prop them up out of whatever hole that they might find themselves in. Jobs and work aren't about what you do for yourself so you can get things that impress people, or project a certain image.
They're about helping society function, and supporting those around you. Most people see jobs as a means to an end, but they're really just a way to gain a more fulfilled life.
We often see high levels of depression in those that are unemployed - not because they can't get what they need (but that's a driver, for sure) - but I would say, un-cited; that because they feel that they can't contribute.
Even with Steem being diversified is important. Steem might have it's down periods.
Not just diversified through crypto, but other forms of passive income is what's important to have true "financial Independence". Work to live, don't live to work. :)
