I agree with you that struggle can't be the "measure" of success, but I do think that sometimes we do remember the hard times and because we pushed through, value things more... Yes, HIVE is a nice example of how you can do things that you like and love, and earn in the meantime, but even here we had uncertain times as a community, but also on a personal level...
But, again, it's not all about the struggle... If you struggle all the time, you should change your job and do something else... ;)
Thanks for sharing this interesting point of view!
