One thing I would add to your article from my experience is knowing when to quit.

Over the last year i've been to rock bottom and back dealing with the stress of applying to dental school and a bad break up, which allowed me to develop a better sense of who I was. A stronger intuition, which I have been using as my guide to navigate through tough decisions.

One of those decisions I had to make was deciding if I wanted to create an e-commerce business or invest in crypto and start a blog here on Steemit.

I believe that after committing ~ 20 hours to a craft you become proficient and obtain enough of an understanding about what it entails. I understood the pluses and minuses of owning my own internet business and realized that it didn't quite resonate with me the way Steemit did. So I quit.

I don't like the word quit, because I'm very driven, but I understand the power of passion and focus, and if you aren't investing them in something that resonates with you then you will struggle to reach your true potential.
