RE: Independence Day - Week 14 of Pay It Forward Curation Contest
Not a problem @thedarkhorse, I'm sure you're very busy. Thanks for investing the time in this response to my question.
"You need to be able to take care of yourself first and foremost so giving everything away in terms of votes and time just doesn't allow for your own growth."
No question. And "there's the rub" amongst others ... I take the "quality, not quantity" maxim here in our Steem Community very seriously. So ... I wish I could say I just "whip it out" in a few minutes, but definitely not the case ...
What is then "left over?" Not enough time. My two fixed constants remain unchanged - "there's only (so far anyway! 😊) one of me and 24 / 7 / 365 ..." Oh, yes, and then there's my beloved lifemate inquiring, "Honey! Are you still alive in there?" ...
Well, if it's "meant to be" I'll figure it out. I can assure you I'm "working on it" ...
Have a good day @thedarkhorse. And keep up the great work!

My Wife wonders about about the time investment sometimes. But that is why you will find I do a lot of my Steemit first thing in the morning or late at night. She is sleeping and it's a good time to knock it out. To me I look at this in a long term way. If I'm correct and we are in early and more wide spread adoption happens then all time invested will be repaid many times over. If I'm wrong I'm giving up a little TV time or messing around on the internet wasting time somewhere else. In the end most of the time I stay up till 1am no matter what anyways so why not be trying to do something for the future.
Very good @thedarkhorse.
Definitely a long-term guy myself. While still quite "new," tried to emphasize, in my latest post, that "engagement" in our Steem Community appears to me to be a "marathon race."
At least if the focus of a person is to generate any significant income, let alone earn a "living wage" ...
So ... I agree with your perspective. Thanks for investing your time to provide it!
