I come from a country that deteriorates economically every day, what I earn here in my country is not enough to buy the basic things I need, which made me start looking for benefits online, and that is not very stable and makes 3 months that I entered Steemit and found a stability for my life, not only did I find economic stability, but I also found really amazing and dazzling people with thousands of stories to read every day and a place to express my ideas. The stability cost me a lot of time and since I arrived here, nothing could be better. Believe me Steemit has brought peace to my life. Steemit allows me to travel, know cultures, meet people and thousands of things just by reading the post of amazing people. ๐Ÿ™

As a farmer, I know my worth, it doesnโ€™t matter how it looks at the time of cultivation, it might not look that admiring at this initial stage, but I understand the underlaid process of my cultivation.

Steemit is the fertile land, and steem is that valuable crop!

Change is coming my way, because anything that builds hope in a man can also prolong a lifespan.

Steemit is changing my life because I didn't use Facebook or any other social media for more than 5 years. Steemit was something that peaked my interest and that I wanted to check out and since then I have been hooked and it feels awesome to be connected again.

The reason why I gave up on Facebook is because it seemed to be more about bragging than sharing; "Look at me I went to the most expensive restaurant, look at me i have traveled to more places than you, look at me I am always smiling in all the photos I am the happiest person in the world" ! I just got tired of it. Everyone trying so hard to look so perfect.

The reason why I joined Steemit is not only because it sounded cool that you can make money while blogging but because people are trying to write good useful material that can actually contribute and make people more aware of who you really are and what you are really about, as opposed to Facebook post that is many times a fake fasad that will make you depressed because you think everyone is living on cloud nine.

So to sum up Steemit had allowed me to be connected to the world again and to be able to read quality posts from people made all over the world. In the same time of course it's allowed me to share my perspective and my passions which is putting a smile on my face whenever I get a nice comment from a fellow Steemian :)

Steemit can change your life in either a good or bad way. Which way depends on whether you let Steemit control you or vice versa.

When I first started I was watching all my posts like a hawk, and getting really frustrated when no one viewed or upvoted them. Mobile phone in hand, I was constantly refreshing the screen, even though I had just done so 5 minutes ago.

Then I learnt to let go ~ NOT give up. I wrote about things that I enjoyed, I learnt to PS photos and make videos, I got involved in a project called Steemit Worldmap, I met people online from all corners from the world and read about their life, view and travels; then I went to my first Steemit meetup, jumping from the virtual to real world. I don't invest in crypto currency so I don't have a panic attack when Bitcoin goes up from 6k to 10k then back down to 9k. Everything I earn here (money and friends) is truly a bonus to me, something that I had not expected when I first started 5 months ago.

Most important of all, I learnt to enjoy and embrace Steemit. It is part of my life but it doesn't rule me.

As a Venezuelan, I can say that steemit gave me the hope that I had already lost, our country is experiencing difficult times since society and power have deteriorated our integrity as citizens, I work as a graphic designer and I earn little, with steemit I decide, I apply and I earn much more, it inspires me is a personal growth for me, I enjoy and share, I know new people, it is like the light at the end of the tunnel, I have hope and faith that with my publications in steemit I will raise to help my family , support my studies and spend a nice Christmas despite the circumstances may not have ham bread or our popular hallas for Christmas dinner, but for me the most important thing is to share with my family. We all think of the food as gifts, and today the Venezuelan is thinking about surviving, with nothing more to limit. Happy Christmas Eating, Value everything you have and love a lot. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
with steemit you can everything is the best community

It brings me into the world of cryptocurrency which I had been longing to learn about, but haven't get the reason to be in. I found that Steemit provides me with a purpose, a purpose to spread my thinking and passion of living to the others. Of course, this is done through writing which also one of the skills that I had long to practice. Previously, I only write like once per month and post it online, without much motivation. However, after being involved in Steemit, oh my! It elevates the experience to a whole new level. Besides thinking about how to write better, I can learn how to engage with people, utilize bots, involve in contests, initiate some movement, and many more! Most importantly, Steemit provides a platform for people to interact, which is different from making a personal blog and promote it from ground zero.

So, in a nutshell, Steemit changed my view on blogging, writing, socializing and also pushing my understanding of the advancement of blockchain technology. Special thanks to @good-karma for creating the mobile @esteemapp that enables me to connect to Steemit even though I am not with my laptop.

Steemit has changed my life in three ways:

  1. it gives me a platform to inspire teachers and those who are teaching. I love writing about my profession as a teacher which has been getting a lot of bad reputation in many countries around the world.

  2. it allows me to reflect and record my many teaching experiences. Helps me stay focused and thankful to seven years of teaching.

  3. I generally do not feel like my work is good enough and seeing so many positive feedback from so many people has made me feel that often times, the greatest enemy to my self confidence and creativity is myself.

Steemit has made me a more confident person, a better teacher and it is also my first experience blogging and I am enjoying every bit of it.
