There Are Hidden Gems All Over Steemit
8 hours later and the upvote airdrop is complete. Once again this was an amazing experience. I really hate how we all have to climb this sort of ladder in order to simply be heard because many people deserve more recognition for the content they produce. Great content can get lost in the noise and that's unfortunate. I'm only one person but this is why I am choosing to continue doing this and promoting the Art Of Reciprocity. I know many of you work really hard at creating content so for that I say thanks and don't give up. Keep getting better and improving. This will be hard work but it is worth it. So here are posts that I would like to share with yall.
Owning Yourself By: @jakeybrown
Our insecurities and flaws can cause us to hide from the world. However this article challenges us to embrace ourselves to be vulnerable. It's not until we become vulnerable that we give ourselves room to flourish. Shake up your world and own yourself.

Steemit About To Experience Massive Registration As I Am Converting Facebook Users To Steemians By: @utomobong
It's promo like this that is helping to bring thousands to Steemit. We can all do what we can to promote Steemit and it's world changing abilities. Here is a great idea to promote the Steemit platform to your own communities. Hopefully this year we see a tsunami of users find a home here.
The Damage of Religious Lies By: @positivechange10
Lies have been spread and lives have been destroyed in the name of religion. A false narrative of who God really is has been created. @positivechange10 shares his experience on the matter and he shares how the unconditional love of God has freed him from the bondage of religion. Powerful stuff here.
RAIMAN, moving lightspeed - My illustration process + worth knowing about RaiBlocks (XRB) By: @bronkong
An amazing comic illustration representing blockchain tech. Here is an artist who has taken his creativity and fused it with the brilliance of what is happening right now with cryptocurrencies. Here is what cryptocurrency would like like if it were a superhero.
CHEESSSSSYYYY By: @tentalavera
Pizza is my favorite food. I could not pass up on sharing the cheesiest pizza in the Philippines. In fact it is so cheesy you can swim in it.
What I really want to highlight in this post is that there are many people out here on Steemit creating great work that we may not get to see. If you have the chance to promote the work of others please do because we can use help. It's not that inspiring work is not going on, it's that there's not enough attention to go around. I wanted to use this opportunity to share work that is not on the trending or hot lists. Let's continue to think about one another, encourage one another, and push each other to get better at whatever it is we do in this life. Show some love today. Peace.

Thanks for your time and generosity @humanearl, and for the authenticity you bring to this community! And also thanks for sharing great posts that might not see the light of day, otherwise.
Sometimes it feels like the world is filled with darkness; with greed; with people pushing each other out of the way so they can get ahead. In that process they lose a little bit of their essential humanity. These are times where we need to reach out to each other, not push each other away - so thank you for being part of that movement and "Being the Light!"
Bright Blessings to you!
Your light is shining too. Let no one put that light out, even you. You always know what to say. Thanks for stopping by.
The art of reciprocity is a great theme here and I think in future it will cover many peoples and once that happens the the support for each other and support for good content will be a natural reality.
It's crazy to think about what this will look like in the coming months. But it will help tons of people. Hopefully we can find a way as a community to take this even further.
Seeing at the current market price of BTC and altcoin I get dissapinted sometimes but again I feel these are parts and parcel of life, so we should focus on content and blogging.
Thank you and Have a great day.
What I do is just keep on keeping on. It sucks when the prices dip. But I think things will get moving in a few weeks or a month.
"We have these thoughts in our heads that if we don't meet others expectations they will disown us in some way.
It makes us afraid to express ourselves or at least it made me feel afraid to"
@jakeybrown these words caught me.
I always felt this way from childhood till of recent i learnt how to really not care about always pleasing people, there were periods i felt i was in bondage because i really had to be careful of not getting anyone angry with me.
"I want to get to the point where i can be unapologetically me and feel comfortable and excited to be expressing that to the world. That to me is the ultimate freedom"
And this 👆, it is indeed the ultimate freedom
I later had to start building my self esteem. I learnt how to stand up for what belongs to me.
I can finally face the world not being scared of the challenges i might encounter.
Thank you @humanearl for your reciprocation.
You have made my day.
I loved that post too. So much truth to it. It makes you look in the mirror. I too have decided to strive to be unapologetically free. You are on the right track.
Also I really loved reading what you had to say about getting people to Steemit. I think that is really good that you are doing that. Thanks for being a leader in that way.
Yeah. it is yet another upvote airdrop success and let me tell you one thing : when you suffix airdrop in upvote then it looks more lucrative because airdrop is a very peculiar term in cryptosphere.
Thank you...steem on and stay blissful...
I knew people would be familiar with that term and it just made sense. So yea it seems it was a good idea. Good observation.
Awesome post. I have not been posting regularly, but i have strategised and have chosen a nuche where i would focus on. I believe to begin posting from this week. You are very right, you need to post consistently, follow people, and comment well. It's a little disheartening here when you see your post move swiftly down the page into oblivion but I think consistency and really being a part of the community is key.
I would also say that making a name for yourself is key. In a medium, with hundreds joining daily, it will be the most beneficial if you do make a name for yourself. And like in the real world, everyone shall have to do it in their own way and style. There is no text book for that.
It's also a grind. Not that' I'm anyone here yet - but from those that made it, they'll all say to post everyday and give it 2/3 months of putting in work.
@georgechuks Yepp. Be yourself. Glad you found something you would like to talk about. For me I was posting once every like 4 days or so. But then I just decided to try to go for everyday. I know everyone may not be able to get that done due to varying schedules but I think posting everyday has helped me grow tremendously.
@mikeycolon I would say after about 2 to 3 months of posting like that you should see much better results. It takes time and patience but nothing is impossible as I always say. I'm about 1 and a half months in of posting pretty much every day. So far so good I guess
@humanearl, you made a very good point and i can relate to it. I have really missed your posts.
I think we should think more at the pleasure of writing/generating good content and not the money. Most of us have blogs that are not producing money, so why sign up to steemit just to make a fortune. Do what you do with passion and leave the rest, I'm sure you will get paid after all. That's why so many quit in the first place. They didn't feel that passion and were only in it for the money. So, if the money doesn't come after the first couple posts they just leave.
I think that it is also important to be patient. You can't expect that your account will grow overnight to a big tree. Everyone should focus on creating good content, and then also to engage with other users. Engagement is the most important part of any social media networ and thats why i love this blog @humanearl. Thank you. Always inspirational.
@princesson I missed seeing you here. So true. I believe the passion for creating whatever content you want is the reason some stay. It turns out that money is not that great of a motivator as people think.
It sure is indeed worth it buddy !You have done a great job :)
Keep on doing it !
Yes we should go on and continue to go through,we just have to carry on !
You have continued to support me so for that I am very thankful. And you share much positivity.
Keep on going inspiring people buddy !I will be always there with good spirits and thoughts supporting you !
Each of these posts can be useful to readers and done well. It can be seen that the authors do not want time to create them.
A small problem of Steemit is that many truly talented writers can remain in the shadows. Without proper support, you can make excellent posts, but no one will see you.
Some talented writers who have not received support - sometimes they can drop their hands. I consider this a mistake. The main thing is never to give up and continue to do what you think is right. Steemit is a place where single-minded people achieve what they want, the main thing is not to give up.
You've visited a lot of blogs and launched a wave of reciprocity, this is a good deed that will bring its future in the future.
I get alot of people that talk to me and they get discouraged because they see the success of others. What they forget to think about though is that those other people had to start somewhere.
I tried to visit as many blogs as possible. So far so good and I will continue with it in the future.
Haha this thumbnail :'D
Your airdrop action with mentioning is so good. Im really glad for your community work my friend. Keep up, but dont overburn ! xD
Haha. For one I was so tired. And you know when you get tired sometimes you just starting doing all kinds of off the wall stuff. You sound like my wife telling me not to overdo it. But both of yall are right and trust me I am very aware not to burnout again.
