RE: How To Balance Your Greed Gene With Your Giving Gene: An Addict's Perspective
@taskmaster4450 presents a very compelling article under his Do You Have An Abundance Mindset???? STEEM Is Providing, Why Do You Fret?
He talked about how we in our before Steem lives we have the scarcity mindset. We try to acquire as many things as possible, It was all Me, Me Me!! Mine!! Mine! Mine!!
All actions were usually done with a WIFM mentality. Letting go of Fiat is hard even electronically. As much we see a lot of Gofundme and Kickstarter campaigns that were successful we saw more that did not get any mileage or support.
This is why for our own charity work we are using Steem as the first step in modern crowdfunding and ultimately getting the Aeta community an opportunity to have better lives through education and their own livelihood program so that they are not limited to waiting for the non existent Government budget nor the help from the occasional NGO.
It is our hope that Steemit will pave the way for their abundance.
It is true most people when they joined Steemit was in it for the money and as cliche as it now sounds Join Steemit for the rewards, stay for the community.
A lot of people find their niche in adopting a pay-it-forward attitude and a gift economy mindset. It is far easier now to click on that upvote for a cause, to delegate SP to people that you support their advocacy, to give so much and not worry because there is abundance here in Steem.
