Great post! I think it's always important to take a step back every now and then and look at the reasons why one does things - whether its your career, your habits, or with respect to major events. That kind of introspection can help you validate (or invalidate) what you're doing, and gives you a chance to grow as a person. So good on you, man!
Thanks :) I really think the turning point for me was getting someone to pay for something I made, that really changed the game for me and made me realize this is viable way to live. I guess I'd like to inspire other people to try that challenge and see how they feel after overcoming it.
