"When I was at SteemFest, I got to see that work in real life. Realizing that every action can have a positive, negative, or neutral effect on our account value is such a powerful thing."
Doesn't it make you feel that no matter what you do, you want to do more? This community is very loving, and although our stories differ, I was always the odd girl. I began to think if that's how it really was. This is the first place where I am accepted as is, and in every direction I look, everyone only wants to help one another learn and grow.
Steemit changed my understanding of the world and refreshed my senses. In terms of self-improvement, my life has only been getting better after finding my way here. What I do here has value, and as a person I have value. Steemit really taught me how to love myself and those around me to a new level.
I am eternally grateful to you, you are such a hard worker that nothing will be out of reach!
My feelings for Steemit is that this is a place that works like it’s own little society. And it’s cool! I love my corner in this community and I feel that the attention and positive feedback I give and receive really are meaningful! And this makes me feel valuable, I don’t care if my corner is tiny but it’s filled with amazing people💜 I also love the feeling of entrepreneurship and that Steemit seems filled wit pioneers!
I’m so happy that you found your spot and craft and that you feel that it creates meaning. The community here is good at this, creating meaning!
you are a good one, friend! I'm glad you've stuck around and continued to grow. Yes, we all can be pioneers here. There is so much work that can still be done. All hands on DECK, as we grow this into the best social media platform EVER! Once it's solid on the tracks for a couple years, we can all chill out and just be casual bloggers. Until then, FULL STEEM AHEAD!
I find that Steemit had a similar effect on me. While I always cared about humanity (I can identify with some of what you wrote) being on here made me take it to another level. Steem is about changing the world...by changing ourselves. You are right, there is no need for flame wars on here. People who come here looking for fights dont get anywhere...perhaps it is the fact that ones finances are tied to it.
Regardless, I think Steemit can be a central part of changing humanity. There is abundance on here and everyone is free to share in it. The basic premise here is to help ourselves by helping others. Upvotes only come after interacting and supporting others. It is a wonderful circle that we operate under.
So true and a post straight from your heart and experience. I am only a week into it and I can deeply connect to your words. Especially
I'm a big reader, from way back. Learning deeply has ever been an pursuit of mine. Last year I thought "If only I could get paid for reading and learning all of the time".
and also this one
Here, I'm rewarded for educating myself and others. The more I learn, and write about what I'm learning, the more I'm rewarded, in so many ways. The writing helps me to expand my knowledge, and absorb it better. It gives other people an opportunity to learn, by giving you all the record of my studies. The fact that I'm always trying to learn and educate others on Steem has helped me to develop many amazing relationships with amazing people. Now, I can say that I get paid to learn, and to share knowledge!
This search for a platform where I can express myself through words and graphics and teach and help others, and also learn along the way is simply incredible. Although I stumbled into it a week ago and thought it would have been good if I had found it last year but destiny has it way of unfolding life.
Today I am also a freelance web designer and I am enjoying it to the fullest. And now I found Steem!
WHAT MORE I CAN ASK FOR!
I am just starting and trying to give my best in what I am good at. Helping others learn, grow and live a happy life.
Well its more like you had the potential to be of help to people and steemit enhanced this potential, I have been a testament to your philantrophicness how you've helped newbies develop hosted a lot of contest and rewarded out of your free will.
However the development continues and you have really done so well, I remember the first day I spoke to you, so kind so eager to help and participate, I'm glad I met and know you
glad I can be of service. tbh, I have way less time to chat than I used to when I started steeming. In some ways I wish I could go back to that simple past of having as much time to chat with people as I felt like... but the longer I use steem, the more I feel like I need to back off from chat so I can do more of the work that benefits more, by documenting and creating articles for the ages.... still I need to find more time to spend in the comments...
I suppose as time goes by I take shifts for certain activities, and I will have to continue to rotate those activities, so I can have the most complete and fulfilling experience for myself and for everyone else
You're an amazing guy, I'm lucky to know you!
I have similar experience with Steem. Even though often I can not really write what I want to say but I found my way to improve my life, thanks to Steem and the amazing people using it.
I always wanted to be a developer, creating things for people and see the joy in their eyes when they use my creation. It is really hard to earn enough from this to sustain myself but maybe one day I will get there and I'm sure it will be because of Steem!
you're pretty incredible yourself! we share an obsession, although mine is on the word side, and yours is on the code side.. you are amazing bro! keep it up!
I do agree and thoroughly enjoyed your story. You would not be exactly as you are without experiencing the turmoil you did. I relate to much of it myself, but luckily have never been plagued with any life altering addictions. Your latter path is the type of life I find the most enjoyment from. I am sure I experienced it through a different lense, coping mechanism and perspective, of course. Being on the move, completely independent from the system is the only time I feel free. I am going to be taking a similar minimum year long adventure starting this spring. My perspective of this type of life is through my preference towards Anarcho-Primitivist ideals. I am glad you broke a way from the negative experiences and are on the path you prefer. To get a better idea of where I am coming from please read my introduction. Don't worry, it's not an attempt for self-promotion as the post has already paid out. As for SteemIt, I believe it's the perfect structure to show we can live mostly good, ethical and peaceful lives without the interference of Central authority. It's a test for an Anarchist Society. I also have already noticed change towards the better from the use of this platform. I am wanting to get better at expressing myself through type, which does spur growth positively. I am glad our paths have crossed my friend and may your life proceeds on your terms. Here's the link to my introduction. Https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@notconvinced/hello-steemians-this-is-me
I've totally noticed the same thing, I was on other forums before and there was not really any incentive to be nice, so people let their worst selves out, this is just the opposite
Yes good to develop yourself ..
But not a solution that evades your reality. But fight for justice and raise your voice.
Thanks for sharing

A lot of knowledge from different people are shared here.

I really enjoyed this blog, thanks for sharing with us.
The more positive words I see, the more drawn I am to Steem/it and the life-changing potential it has.
Well done man!
Glad you stopped by! I enjoy your content, so I'm glad if you have just a little more inspiration to stick around and continue
Thanks, my pleasure :)
Yes Steemfest cancelled any doubts I was having, so it's full Steem ahead this year. Cheers!
