Thanks for this. I've noticed I'm a very status driven individual and consequently I find the journey to be often a hard thing to appreciate. I also know I'm always extremely discontented by what I have and I question whether I will ever find that holy grail of success I'm looking for where I will stop worrying about all of this and just accept I made it.

I think the only answer is to force myself to focus more on my journey. Try to enjoy the highs and lows as they come. My friend has rather good philosophy on this where he defines his personal success by the action he takes and not by the amount of money he makes or some other external measurement he doesn't have total control over.

Plus I'll be updating the blog very soon!

I think you have to hang in there if this is what you really want. Perseverance is a key factor and from what I see you have it( you did it for 6 years ). Money is a measurement of success (it shows that you have made something people want and are willing to pay for), it is not the only measurement, your service could be free and still be valuable to others.
Someone wise once said.... The journey is the reward.

All the best.
