Gratitude As The Power Of Creativity And 6 Reasons Why Steemit Rocks My World

Gratitude is a feeling, an awareness and one of the most important virtues, the currency of real abundance. 

Steemit rules my daily routine and this since June 2016 without any interruption. 

I stayed through the rocky and stormy days because I am thrilled for the opportunity to learn so many new lessons in the cryptoworld.....and You? 

What brought you here? Why do you stay? 

Creativity is on a High with many more active users than ever and Oh Dio Mio, where is Steem going.......On A Spaceshuttle to Mars? 

I am thankful! 

My eyes opened for another planet.

Now its the time, more than ever, to practice gratitude and not get lost in complains. 

Gratitude changes us, when we feel most grateful, our heart opens and it will be impossible to be cruel and brutal. 

Today I wanted to reflect on a few points, why I keep writing, posting pictures, sharing my topics of interest, I passionately research for hours in-between my regular life I build here in Europe. 

Its been well worth so far, joining this platform and leaving most other distractions/ social media I am not really interested in anymore. 

Here are some reasons, why you should become a member on steemit to share something you love, care about and to find a community who rewards you for your efforts, more and less but don't expect miracles.

Nothing comes easy! I work quite a lot for every power up, without putting my focus on unnecessary issues, I don't understand much about, such as "who votes, why they vote" or even flag or how much I earn. 

Every little payout is worth my gratitude and mentioning the reasons why I stick with this platform. 

I hope that Steemit.Inc and the marketing team doesn't let us down! I can't wait for the Beta version, long overdue and new improvements to be equally fair to all valuable members.

1. Motivation & Inspiration  

Your daily incredible contributions keep my brain busy and challenged but today I ran out of ideas, no inspiration came in my mind. 

No story caught my interest. I actually decided to take a little break 'DOING NOTHING" for a few hours. It seemed that my Tesla ride the other night took all my "Electric Juice". 

The problems to deal with my hacked funds on @poloniex got me really tired and upset.    

Take a break once in a while to avoid the burn out and continue curating valuable content.

I am in for longterm. 

2. The Lesson of Appreciation and Kindness

I cant believe how many members take time to comment these days. Its great to feel so much kindness and fun to read more feedback than usual. Thanks !!! 

Tender Gravity Of Kindness, A Lost Virtue? 

It is very important to remind ourselves to chant our daily Mantras of " THANK YOU's" at least twice a day because we shouldn't take all our Steem/SBD gifts for granted. 

My digital wallet is more than a gift. It's a blessing. Its an opportunity for freedom as I want, not as my government planned for me. 

I prefer to be in my own Matrix, not theirs.

3. Belonging to a creative community 

Yeah, it really does consume entire days and sometimes long nights but we are capable of pushing our limits as long as we do, what loves us and what we believe in. It took some time that this community started appreciating my presence and my patience was tested big time, my emotions and critisismn sometimes challenged big time. 

You will always find injustice where human beings interact with each other. Friends will help their friends and your enemies will fight you. Corruption is like a disease and a virus. 

"Steemit" pushes my buttons, all of them. I had to learn how to control myself, focus on a positive message and leave the negative stuff out of my sight.

It is impossible to be angry, hate- or fearful. Gratitude cannot be requested, demanded or coerced, it can only be given. 

The Greek philosopher Cicero declared: "Gratitude is not only the greatest of the virtues but the parent of all others."

4. Fearless attitude and self-confidence 

Every cent I earned here is also attached to an interesting experience of self doubt, insecurities but also the joy of incredible conversations who made me forget my fears of not being good enough. 

Just go and don't let low payouts stop you from publishing.  

5. Fun Fun Fun

Take IT Easssyyy !!!

I got over the complainers and injustices. I am in for a game and its fun to play it. Every hour, I spent reading your articles, is well worth it. Every down vote another push in my butt to write even more than before, building my reputation telling my stories in my blog. I am not proud of all my write ups but its ok. I just heard that there are only a few hundreds who count Rep"67". Once again, I am thankful!

6. Money & Rewards

Of course we are all in for the money, more and less and there is nothing wrong about it but sometimes I feel disgusted what kind of tricks some people play, abusing the system.

Its quite clear that for most people who join, its about getting some cash first of all, especially for the ones who left when payouts were so low. The time spent to write a good article for a few cents was not worth to stay. We lost nearly half of our followers and now a lot of fantastic authors are back to grab some Steem again. I am glad that quality is higher than high and much more exciting again. Payouts sky-rocking, it feels nearly like in the good old days, when I joined, swimming along as a minnow, actually more like a lost, silly plankton.

The other day I saw a girl's post, wining why she powered down, taking out all stack to pay her bills. Thats ok as long as the complaining rant wouldn't get rewarded, while loyal newbies, who write great articles, struggle for a few cents. 

We all know how long it takes to create our stories before publishing. I have lots of respect for the ones who pulled through the hard days.  

I asked myself a few times, if I should support those guys with my votes. Usually I don't appreciate people who let me down. So many will be around for you when days are so called fruitful or if you are worth "something" but gone quickly when there is no "profit". Don't take me wrong but you might understand what I mean.

Please remember! 

"Gratitude is the real currency of abundance, the quality of being thankful, the readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness."

“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” 

Flowers 🌺 And Daily Blessings 🙌 

Steem, Keep on rocking! 

Music will keep you relaxed ......
