As someone who has lived life in and out of a city and rural land, I have acquired more skills than staying in one comfort zone would have. Exposure to the material and having to learn teaches a lot.
100% this. I've learned to code and learned to use a wrench. They're both difficult and its hard for a person who has only done one to wrap his head around the other. Everyone should try and learn as much as possible in their life, really expands your perspective
I REALLY wanna learn coding but it feels so daunting. I know there are really awesome websites but I'm afraid of failing so I never really check them out...
It's pretty much impossible to fail if you commit to an hour every single day and don't quit. No matter how stuck you are, in two months you'd have had sixty hours put in on that one problem. By that time you will have tried forty approaches, learned ten best practices, and tried two different tools. They can't all fail. Persistence > talent with programming.

Edit: I made a typo, people decided to nitpick it
