RE: STEEM Is Going To Change The World BUT Are Steemians Ready????
Indeed Taskmaster many are still operating in a scarcity mindset that their votes only goes to themselves.
They chase after whales and get bitter if they recieve any upVote for kissing so much ass and when they see other people recieving the attention they get more bitter.
It is only when we have a paradigm shift in thinking that to be successful we need to recognize the gifteconomy economy of more people we share the vote and engage the better it is in the long run for us.
We have to let go of thinking of only about ourselves and build Communities, advocacy and charities.
It by changing how the blockchain is viewed.
Are we ready? To me i still see many who are not.
I would like to think that I am but there are still a lot of things to learn and do.
The gift economy is something that is not mentioned too often...sad to say.
Yet you are correct...we need to focus upon the success of all, not just the success of oneself. This can be done in many different ways, by upvoting as you mentioned but also by how we conduct ourselves. What image are we presenting to newer people?
Do not forget, we all are radically influenced by environment. If we operate on here like people do on Facebook, people will conclude this place is no different. On the other hand, if we are lifting ourselves to a new level, then we are indeed showing people the makings of a paradigm shift.
Indeed we need to reflect inward and learn that we can be the best version of ourselves here.
Remove the scarcity mindset, remove the troll that only wants to enrich and be one that reaps all the rewards, remove the self-righteous person that we are and open ourselves to be more considerate, kind and supportive of other people's dreams, aspirations and talents.
This has got to be one of my most favorite posts that you have and thank that with the limited internet I have during my vacation here in the province that I read this.
After being on steemit for only a few weeks I have reached the fun stage when the reward for a post changes when I upvote. I really like that and try to find some good posts to upvote every time I am logged on...
The more SP you get the higher the rewards would be so create great content. Earn SP through curation rewards and reporting spammers and plagiarists to steemcleaners.
exactly bitterness and resentment toward the ones with money is a great mistake and leads to the worst outcomes.
That is the scarcity mindset that a lot of people are still afflicted with.
They think that only they are entitled to do well and anyone they think is getting what they perceived as an enemy.
