The Best Thing That Happened To Me Because Of Steemit: Day 1 of the 30 Days Writing Challenge

So I was told about the May 30 Days Writing Challenge this morning by my very good friend and roomie @jaraumoses. The May 30 Days Writing Challenge was organised by @dragosroua whom I got to know today. If you love writing, this is a great opportunity to prove your writing prowess and creativity. I know I have been in a couple of challenges, some of which I haven't been very consistent with like the 100 Days of Poetry; others I didn't even complete like the 7 Day Selfie Challenge*(which I plan to do again) but am committed to be consistent with this Writing Challenge. I oblige every Steemit Writer and blogger to join this challenge, because I believe it is an opportunity for us minnows to have a constant flow of posts and it also increases our creativity. You can read more about this Challenge here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@dragosroua/announcing-may-30-days-writing-challenge-strengthening-the-steemit-community. The idea is that for the whole month of May, each day @dragosroua will ask one question related to Steemit and answer it in a post.

My today's post is an answer to today's @dragosroua writing challenge question tag: Whats the Best Thing That Happened to You Because of Steemit. You can read more about today's writing challenge here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@dragosroua/may-30-days-writing-challenge-day-two-what-s-the-best-thing-that-happened-to-you-because-of-steemit

Everyone's invited to write their own answer to it, write an article and link to it in a comment in @dragosroua's post so he knows about it. And who knows, you might get a full vote from him.

The Best Thing That Happened To Me Because Of Steemit

Okay when I saw this topic I had to do some sort of brain storming searching for the answers that will form up a great content post.
I joined Steemit in November 2017 after been introduced to it by @jaraumoses the person I call my Steemian Mentor. Honestly in the beginning after signing up, making my introduceyourself post, and a BD post in the same month, I relaxed. I didn't see the financial possibilities associated with Steemit. Even after asking @tojukaka @jona12 @yohan2on @teseganewton @musamalijames and many others about how I can make money quickly on Steemit, I still procrastinated whatever advice they gave me like commenting and keep posting. I guess I was frustrated by the recurrent $0.00 SBD I was getting on my heavily researched post. I thought the quality the content, the likely one would make money but @yallapapi would disagree.

So once I realized quality post is not necessarily the requirement of making money on Steemit, I had to take some of the advice I had received which is to change my mentality and blog on Steemit without expecting much. Just like Jesus says: "For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it." With that mentality I started making post without financial expectations, and Boom the little dimes starting coming in. Yes! I left the $0.00 SBD stage.

So basically I would say **Steemit has taught me consistency and helped remove the grip of Laxity in my life.
