I really lke #5, "You'll never get smarter alone" but the current opportunity I have is to try to continue building my skills so that I can actually reach out to others.

It's a challenge as a newbie, but I know with practice and time it will come.

Hey @warlita in the beginning our path is very "solo" for some time when we're self-taught, I had that too! But if you can find a community or a discord, a free workshop where people help each other it will help you grow a lot faster. Helping others is a great way to also learn more and deeply understand certain aspects! And some workshops don't require that you be anything more than a beginner! Take advantage of these opportunities if you can! You can always reach out to me or other developers over on twitter if you need help too!
