Ha ha...i had the same impulse as @wandrnrose7 to say that patience here on steemit is important too. I feel what you say on many levels and have noticed when i step back from my impatience i move through my life with more clarity.
so yeah...the trick i think with steemit is often people come in and expect ot take steemit by storm or just earn tons quick or who knows what...but i think its paitience, quality and a bit of consistency that helps users around here... Just keep throwing that great work at the wall...something will eventually stick!
