Is STEEMIT just a waste of time?

TIME.

They say time is gold. It is very much precious so you never should waste it. You can never get back all the time wasted for doing things that shouldn't be done.

It' s already been days or a week since I have joined @steemit. It was my husband who actually introduce this site to me. At first I was really so excited to be a part of @steemit. There were lots of things on my mind. I was so happy because finally I can be able to share myself to the world.

But as I continue my journey and move my steps forward in @steemit, I started asking myself.

"Am I just wasting my precious time here?"

As both a teacher and a mother of 4, my time is very much limited. I have to wake up early to prepare myself and my kids to school. Then, I spend 8 hours facing my pupils and teaching them. I only have my 20-min breaktime for recess, an hour lunchbreak and 50-min vacant period. Those times are just intended for classroom preparation, lesson planning and checking pupils'works. When I go home, I still have to breastfeed my 8-month old baby and take care of the rest. I also have to check and supervise their homeworks. When all of my kids are asleep, that would be the time where I can write and plan my lessons for the next day. I would spend more time downloading videos to be used for my lessons so I tend to sleep very late every night. That is how my everyday life is.

So, as you can see I am such a busy bee.. But when my husband pursuade me in joining @steemit, I tried my very best to cope up, find time and make myself available to post and be connected in the site.

But now that I am already here, I'm having some doubts on myself. Questions like "Am I doing the right thing? Were my posts that bad?" keep on troubling my mind. I am doubting myself if it's still worthy of my time here. There are many whys in my mind right now.

Indeed, I am lost.

Yet, I still want to give it a shot. I still want to write. I wanted to share myself with the world. I wanted to grow as a writer, story teller and of course as a better me.

So, with this, all I wish for is a little inspiration, a hope that someday somehow I would feel the same excitement that I felt when I first joined @steemit.

Someday, somehow i would be as great as anyone here.

Because right now, even if i'm feeling a bit lost,
I still want to say that:

STEEMIT IS NEVER A WASTE OF TIME.

Hi @yanzel4lyf, Don't give up, the Filipino steemit community is here for you. We will support each other. No one will be left behind. :)

Thank you..i'm starting to get motivated in staying in this community because of people like you...

Thank you! I believe most of the Filipino here in steemit are supporting each other. Sanay naman tayong mga Pinoy sa Bayanihan eh. Basta keep on going lang and get involve to the community.

Opoh @josephbuarao...let's support each other..😊😊 may God be with us and bless us more..

Done visiting the site and reading the contents...again, thank you so much for giving me hope sir @surpassinggoogle..

Thank you so much @surpassinggoogle for your support. Being a newbie in this platform is just a bit hard on my part because there is still so much to learn. At least now that I've known people like you who tries to give us newbies some hopes for us to grow here, I think I'm feeling much more motivated to continue my steemit journey..again, big thanks..

Wow, very timely post, I just started yesterday and was wondering if I am just wasting my time. Steemit is is not a waste of time.

Hmmm...yeah..I've decided to just continue my steemit journey..anyways, i still love to write.

I think all of us here felt the same as what you are experiencing right now. My tips to you and all the newbies out there, do not quit steem it!! Why? This is the best platform I've ever seen in my entire life. Leave all other social media sites and let's spread steemit. You can also check my blogs especially on the first encashment that I have. By the way, I am only a month old here also but thanks to sir @iwrite for letting me in in this Very Beutiful and Supportive Group, Steemit Diversify. Just don't be shy and be able to listen to our Very Good Mentors and one day, you will have your Best Shot here!! Mark my Word!!

Thank you @ortorees1123 for your kind words.. Push natin to!! 👍👍

Already followed and reading all contents and hope to post also soon. Thank you sir Terry

If you ask me, this platform is better than Facebook, Instagram or other social media platforms...because you can use only polite words, you have to behave in a proper way, and from what I saw only wise people are around here posting interesting and useful stuff. So..I`ve been here for one week only but I sure love it!

True...thanks..👍👍

visited / follow it! thank you!

Thank you for sharing @steemsecrets sir.

I feel you. Nakakapagod minsan yong nagpopost ka naman ng magaganda pero parang walang nakakakita at nakakaappreciate.

Mutual ata feelings ng bawat newbies...😂
Pro cge lang...push nlang natin to girl!! 👍👍

Parang ganyan nga.. Baka sa simula lang ito

Let's just wait and see...😊😊

Hi @marble20, oo nga sa una lang talaga mahirap. Once na mabuild mo na reputation mo at network mo madali ka na kikita. Ang hindi titigil sya ang magtatagumpay. Soon, tataas na ang value ng steem kaya kaylangan mag-invest na tayo ngayon ng time.

we newbie will think like that... but don't loose hope we are here your friends and team to support each other... even we loose just cheer up we will prove to world what we got... ;)

Hmmm...kta manla ngew it ngpapasupport support lwat ...😂😂😂

tama, !! baman it iba wray la paki alam tat mga post😂

Hahahah hayaan na

In my opinion Steemit is the best social site ever created.It's still in a very early stage so don't give up.Give it a shot.Instead of writing in other social platforms you can write your thoughts here and from time to time you will get the recognition you deserve.New people are joining this platform every minute.Just dont give up!Have a nice weekend!

Thank you @knowhow92 for your thoughts and words of encouragement...😊

No problem!!Have fun

I will..😊😊 steem on!👍👍

Steemit in my opinion is really an information site. If you spend your time on steemit, blogging you will not only fetch the fame but also cash your words.
Keep the spirit high and achieve your targets.
Stay blessed

We have the same feeling, im lost too. But we have to be more motivated to be able to survive in this community. Just cheer up!

Thank you...may we both find more reasons to stay..👍👍
