Steemit is a social network in which we can find a vast range of talents. There are amazing people who know how to develop really valuable content. We can find cooking recipes, soccer game predictions, movie and book reviews, fiction and poetry stories, professional level photographs, acts of kindness, promotional initiatives, contests that encourage interaction between users, there are so many things to see that you may never end up knowing how much there is left to discover in this platform that keeps growing constantly.

Surely I have missed many topics, but that's not the most important thing, really, the most important thing is the story behind each "talent" or rather, person. In the end, you find a person nimbly typing away to develop a publication for which he or she expects remuneration. We can all use this platform to sharpen our skills and temper ourselves in one or more ways, but truth be told, there are many of us who simply set out on this path with something simpler in mind, I was like that during the time I was relatively new.

Money

To put it plainly, I wanted money for the following reasons:

• Solve my main needs.
• Lessen the burden my mother carries as the family provider.
• To be more independent.

I wanted money because I needed to solve certain things and if something happened to my mother, how would I, who has not even managed to practice my career. With thoughts like that, I started my journey on steemit.

After spending a month posting intermittently, I realized it wasn't easy. It's not just posting and that's it. Votes are never guaranteed and there is a lot of information to learn that is scattered in different communities and it takes careful searching not to get lost, even if I'm not looking for it, I still find new things from time to time.

From the things I have been reading in various communities, I learned a little about the platform and I understood perfectly that steemit rewards quality content in relation to two main factors, the practicality of the content and the value it adds to steem.

Two things that are not easy to achieve if you think that there are a lot of people trying to do the same thing every day and each user must find a way to shine among that sea of steemians. Therefore, the saying goes "persevere and you will win". Persevere, with patience and dedication, doing everything with a lot of passion and following the rules of each community you can increase a little bit the probabilities of getting something, but as I mentioned before, votes are not always guaranteed.

Knowing all this, I decided to swim in the unfathomable ocean called Steemit.

Do the possible and before you know it, you will do the impossible.

When I first started posting on Steemit and received one of my first strong votes, roughly about $11.30 on a post about a story I wrote for #writingnreviews, my aunt @nrvan28 told me that if I wanted to achieve something even greater I should first do the possible to achieve the impossible. Eventually I realized she was right and I set out to achieve something that is currently my biggest accomplishment on Steemit, I'm talking about buying my epilepsy meds without any help. At first I thought I would not be able to do it, but I saved SBD little by little and posted consistently enough to get a box every week.

Currently, I am looking for ways to learn how to invest in cryptocurrencies because I believe it is possible to build a future based on cryptocurrencies. If I could get a steady stream of medicine, then this should be possible too, I just have to figure out how to do it and how long it will take.

It is a slow road, but with enough patience it is not impossible. My mentality has gradually changed and my thoughts are becoming more solid and sure about my goal. I no longer want money to make ends meet, which I do need, but I also have to worry about the future while living in the present.

I think Steemit is a great opportunity for all of us, and the first step we should take is to ask ourselves: ¿What is Steemit for us? ¿A means? ¿Money?

Maybe it can be something we have never thought about.

An opportunity...
