RE: Battle tested and ready: Building Up Steem for the future
I feel attacked. (meme answer)
This is something I struggle with. I answer the yeses. My assholery is generally contained. And yet — is my help to all those I love the shit out of here (and the randoms too) as effective as it could be? That's a painful question to be asked, because no one wants to examine the hard nuances of what being helpful entails. Is intention sufficient enough without power to support it? I know my mindset and contributions are right... but is the tool-set I'm utilizing matched? I power up but really don't manage the "selfish" balance well, even knowing that being bigger means bigger impact — things to chew on. (serious answer)
This is the question I ask every day and after all of my time here, I have failed to take the hardest path which is, really think long.
Intention isn't enough to do anything except satisfy the ego upon a high horse. You work your ass off for the platform and community (much more than me) yet, look at the place. What happens in a year or two and you have grown at 30% the rate of those who are commandeering the pool? Who distributes to who then?
I am chewing too.
Over the past 3 weeks I have been struggling with the same thing . Helping others at the expense of myself or at least not growing as fast as I could have .
That's a great way of putting it and to be honest with myself I have to say NO
