Hard to Stay Motivated on Steemit???

I haven't been posting much for the past while, as I put more energy into other aspects of my life. I'd love for Steemit to go mainstream, as we all would, I'm sure.

How are you Steemians plugging through? How do you stay motivated? I think for those getting larger sums of votes etc, it's pretty easy, but for those not, it seems to be more difficult.
