I read every word of your post Hive account@scienceviking and you've made it up to the end with a moral lesson for the readers like me.
At first, I thought it was your personal experience but suddenly I noticed, its gaming.. I also scroll down to check how long is your post and not really that long for those who love to read.

But I guess some images would be much more of a help to elaborate more your post and explain further.

Overall, I could relate to what you're saying. Its a game but it help us as individuals in achieving what we want in life just like the game. Many obstacles will come along the way but through patience, focus and dedication, we will be successful.
