Transactional V.S. Meaningful Communication On The Steem Blockchain [July 10 2019] 🅰️🏅And Supporting The #AutomaticWin Initiative.

Hi girls, guys, everybody!

Yes! It’s been another day with plenty to say and do! Maintaining balance is a challenge for all of us isn’t it?

That’s why I believe in making my health a priority 1st thing in the morning before things take off and get carried away. It’s all about investing in yourself and your health 1st. Because let’s face it... if your not taking the time to take care of you... who is going to do that?

It’s important right?

You know something's important when only you can do it.

Think about that for a moment...

I think that’s a significant point.

And it is from this basis that I drew the inspiration for the #AutomaticWin Initiative.

Not only that but I put my own financial means behind the idea.

I wanted to support @mcfarhat and the @actifit project by rewarding the intentional steps you all are taking with the @actifit dApp every day so I took stock and decided to sell some of my unused weight equipment and some of my stocks (that I had invested in Fitbit) and invest them in delegating to the @actifit project and powering up the @AdventureReady account. I had a vision of the future for the potential of the @actifit project and I really wanted to do my part in rewarding the efforts you all are making each day to improve your health and bring value to the Steem Blockchain.

I’m continuing to look for creative ways to build a health and fitness presence with the #HighFive Initiative and the @AdventureReady, @BeachReady, @EveryStepCounts, @OneMore accounts. I have BIG plans for the future we are all building here and I'm committed to staying the course despite the vicissitudes of life and the financial markets.

Now here’s the thing... I am committed to your success as you make your health goals real and I'm committed to your success here on the Steem Blockchain as well. So please, if you will, zoom out to at least a 5 year perspective.

Would you like to see the #AutomaticWin Initiative grow and succed in reaching more and more people? Do you see value in what I am building here on the Steem Blockchain? If you do... then please consider up-voting the #AutomaticWin badge when it's awarded to your @actifit activity report. By doing so you give value and security to this initiatives continence. Not only that but you make way for BIGGER and even BETTER things to come!

We are all building and voting for what we want the future of this Blockchain to look like and so I am asking directly for your support.

A special thank you to the ones who are currently supporting the #AutomaticWin Initiative with your up-votes. (You know who you are!) You are literally voting for what you want more of in the future so every vote and every comment matters. THANK YOU!

Let's keep on keeping things REAL and move away from the short sighted gain that transactional conversation yields. It's time to use the Steem Blockchain the way it was truly intended to be used. To vote our values and to influence real and lasting change. To delve deeply and connect fully and authentically.

This is not a place where communication is transactionaly mined from the investors investments... I really hope this is NOT the case for if it is... then truly this Blockchain will eventually fail as the money that has been invested is extracted away. This is really about the quality and authentic nature of the community we are building here on the Steem Blockchain. If we can overcome the impulse of greed and short term desire we can create a golden goose era that will increase the value of the Steem Blockchain!

A transactional conversation can be defined as such:

A conversation who's sole purpose is to financially facilitate the exchange of one thing for another.

We implicitly hear these types of conversations every day don't we? Walk into any coffee shop and you will notice 2 types of conversation taking place:

Transactional:
Repetitive circular transactional conversation at the till where the employee is being paid to RUN someone else's business. They aren't paid to do small talk or delve deeply with the customer. They are paid to transact multiple times using a script. Short term.

Meaningful:
Time is taken to authentically care and connect with another live and real human being. Someone with a beating heart, dreams, and a real world life to live. In these conversations trust has been slowly developed over time and a certain amount of giving and take happens naturally and organically. This is how life long friendships are forged. Long term.

So as you can see... We have an opportunity here on the Steem Blockchain to converse in two different states or modes of operation. Which way are you going to choose?

What we get from life and this experience on the Steem Blockchain could be simply determined by a deep understanding of the difference between these two points. (Sophistication is knowing the difference between two points.) Do we push value or do we naturally pull it towards us in a mutually beneficial and genuine way? Which way do you think would bring more meaning to your life?

Granted... I think that both way's of communication are important... But I think we live in a world that has blueprinted on us implicitly the more transactional way of thinking and communicating. I think that we probably engage or listen in (knowingly or unknowingly) to transactional conversations more than we realize! It could even be a 95% transactional to 5% meaningful ratio!!! What do you think?

So how do we change this ratio and how do we make our lives and relationships more meaningful?

I'll tell you one thing... I have learned, over the years, that if you want to have (as an example) more support... you simply go out of your way to give more support. Changing your mode of communication is no different I think.

Give meaning and make the effort to be open and connect authentically. That's when people will open up and connect authentically with you. Surround yourself with these people and support them Spirit, Mind, Body (this is what the Special Focus health compounder is by the way!!!) and your Transactional to Meaningful Conversation Ratio will progressively change for the better!

These are some of my economic/investment thoughts as I have fully committed to the preservation and enrichment of the @actifit project and the Steem Blockchain! This is a fertile ground to grow nearly any business idea... But we have to take care of it. We have to see it for what it's worth. We have to value our ideas. We have to value and connect authentically with each other and build trust. Business moves at the speed of trust... and that's what transactional thinking destroys. Trust.

Because you can't commoditify human connection with out experiencing drawbacks both socially and economically...

I think that this is one of the underlying reasons I decided to join the #Seven77 Challenge that @nathanmars has initiated. He wants to tell people how wonderful the Steem Blockchain is and bring them over here from Twitter... It's our job to make sure that when they get here they are immediately wowed and become raving fans on the Steem Blockchain. That sort of draw ALWAYS boils down to the authentic qualities of the community!

Soooo! No matter what the current price of Steem is at the moment... I don't really care! Let's forget about the price and continue to build real intrinsic value into everything we are doing here! It does matter!

Community and communication go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other... So the question is... How can we build a strong healthy vibrant community of diverse people from all around the world?

Community grows when there is a economic give and receive "handshake" and it thrives when people authentically connect and #HighFive! Voting with your values and genuinely connecting is where it all begins. That is the power of mixing social capital with financial capital. The future is infinite here on the Steem Blockchain so let's all start thinking that way. That is how we enrich our ideas and turn them into genuine connections and true wealth.

I hope some of what I'm saying here resonates with you all!

I'm so GRATEFUL for each and every one of you! (I'll be posting a video about gratefulness soon as part of my day 68 of the #Seven77 Challenge so make sure you check that out alright!)

Thank you for taking the time to read today's post!

We all start life not really being able to communicate but it is communication that bonds and connects us one to each other. Comments are what make community real.
