The Lightning Strikes Again! - How I overcame the feeling of being the "lucky guy".. And why I deserve the success I've had so far! - Thank you Steemit!
The old saying that 'lightning never strikes the same place twice' is a myth that any veteran storm observer or researcher has seen nature defy. Lightning can strike any location more than once. In fact, given enough time, it is actually inevitable. It may take as little as less than ten minutes within a single thunderstorm, or longer than a million years - but lightning will eventually strike the same spot again and again. A strike to any location does nothing to change the electrical activity in the storm above, which will produce another strike as soon as it 'recharges'. The previously hit location is then just as fair game for the next discharge as any other spot.This information can be found here:http://stormhighway.com/lightning_never_strikes_the_same_place_twice_myth.phpWhat does all of this have to do with steemit.. And my success..?I'll give you the full story and I won't leave anything out. What you will read here is the journey I've been on. I went through hurricanes and thunderstorms to get to this point, even though I've only been here for 3 weeks. It's insane! - I've experienced a lot of things.. I've been thrilled, horrified, satisfied and I've really enjoyed most of my time here..Most of my time..If you've read my posts during the time I've been here you should've noticed two things.Good Content.
A hardworking person.
That being said, I previously shared my feelings during my first success, I've shared features I would like to see be implemented on steemit and I've shared a bunch of other things.. However, I've also shared one post where I for the first time share my "inner thoughts" so to speak, and I also share that I actually started to doubt myself at one point.You can read about it in this post

Did I actually blew it?! - I've come to the conclusion that my content probably isn't good enough. At least not for the whales or dolphins."@cryptogee replied in that post.."You didn't blow it!
OK, this comment is coming from the fact that I can't see any of your posts from a couple of weeks ago. However, I think the reason why you dropped off, is your posts are just that bit too short, for any of the Whales to auto follow you. You have proved to them you can deliver quality; your posts are always fun to read. However they need to know that if they do start following you, you're not going to drop back down to 500 word or less articles. Aim for about 1500 words in your next 3-4 articles, and I bet you get more cash. This isn't about just stuffing content in there for the hell of it, this is about keeping your fresh entertaining style, and going into a bit more detail. Try it, and see if it works."
