Finding the Real You in the Digital Age (my introduction to Steemit)

Hello lovely people out there,

being honest, it took me a while to finally jump off with my first posting. The reason is as simple as it gets: lack of motivation after managing my daily routine in combination with the aversion of self-advertisement. Another reason, apparently being more weighty today, is my passion for writing as well as the interchange of the ubiquitous topics with other brave thinkers in order to get inspired by some precious feedback. At the same time, embodying an ambivalent personality, I sometimes do suffer from the sensory overload due to the unfiltered perception.

No matter what subject we are dealing with, there is a wide range of perspectives to look at it. All of them have one thing in common: Perfection. Now, this is not a new issue. Throughout the history there were always been role models, worth admiring due to their unique skills, significant achievements or outstanding performance. The reaching the top of the pyramid of success does not only depend on ones innate talent, which is essential. Accordingly to my own experience, there is a number of influencing factors, which seem to be crucial in "winning the lottery". Even though continuous hard work or pursuing a coherent strategy is necessary, being in the right spot at the right time or having backed the right horse is indispensable.

Living in the digital cosmos of endless opportunities and threats, the major challenge is not to let impose oneself with alleged idols or short-term trends. Do not let the commercially-driven hype manipulate your intrinsic passion, which makes people unique and perfect indeed. Gather the inspiration in the digital world as carefully as you can to enrich and to simplify your real life with real friends, real family, real you.
