RE: Buddhism: Learning How to Drop Aversion and Be in Grace
I think after a week, comments and upvotes don't 'matter' (right? I'm brand new) (so not that I have any power whatsoever anyway) but I just wanted to comment anyway that I am reading many of your posts on Buddhism, and just think you sharing that wisdom here is such a service, regardless of the steem earnings. Really in dept h posts and great content! I'm more a student of yoga myself but again, just important philosophies, awarenesses and new ways of looking at things that may benefit your readers. True karma yoga (selfless service) - and yes, I'm going to call it selfless even though you earned $10 bucks on this one - I'll guesstimate that's about... errr, $2/hour, if your lucky. Labor of love on your blog for sure. Reminds me of another of my favorite Rumi quotes, "Let the beauty you love be what you do; there are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground." (the one you quoted, about the field being another) Namaste <3
That's why I do it ~ to share the knowledge with others and it also helps me integrate it more deeply into my own life. But, you can earn some cash on here, you just have to focus on serving others :) I think if you just try to do it for money only you will end up feeling hollow. Some of the early adopters on here other than me that earned A LOT of money ended up reporting feeling that way. PS, I posted another post today about EFT and a Buddhist monk you may want to check out :)
Yes, sharing what we know does help us embody it even more ('teach what you need to learn'). The money would be great but the system seems a bit nuts to me as a newbie & I once I learned enough, not to understand, but to get the jist of what's going on, I was like, "Ohhh, ya, that's not for me!" - but ultimately decided that with writers like you, and mistermercury, for just two examples, it was worth just coming around and checking things out sometimes. I won't be here every day I doubt and who knows what may evolve but for right now, I decided not to expect anything and just enjoy what I like about it. If I earn something somehow in the process, great! I had to adjust my hopes and interest on a financial level before deciding to participate. I do find the system tedious for posting (especially images and that sort of thing is NOT my forte already). I'd share more if it was more efficient. I recognize it's a new and ever changing (maybe even improving?) platform. Glad I found you, thanks, Soulsistshakti :)
I've been on here for nearly 2 years and I'm making money on those old articles...stay in it for the long haul! :)
