Great post, I love it.
The only thing that one needs in his or her life in order to succeed, is to never give up no matter what happens. I remember how many things happened to me, and how many projects failed to get me the rewards I so much wanted.
Even before finding steemit I was pretty lost, not knowing what to do any more, until I took a risk and started posting on this website. In the first month I made around $200. All that from posting.
It's amazing what you can achieve if you just continue with your life, if you take risks and you don't let anything defeat you.
Great article, really motivational!
