The time I got delegated 2k Steem Power by @justinashby for one month. This is what I'm doing with it.

So I'm chatting in Discord the other day and we start talking about Steem Power. I join in and make some random comment about having 92 SP & one day I'll be famous when I have more SP. @justinashby secretly checks my SP, and says, " From 01 March you'll have 2k SP for one month". After I got up from falling over due to shock, I said, "What! Really?".

This was a few days before 01 March. So naturally I think, "Yea, we'll see". A true as I'm sitting here typing this article, as soon as the clock hit 01 March I got delegated the 2k SP from him. He sent me a DM informing me of my new found status.

For someone to do this for someone else, without expecting anything in return, shows true character. It reflects selflessness, a personality trait that is rare in this world we live in. This just goes to show the type of people found on Steemit. Willing to help others, willing to fill the gap where someone can be blessed and give them a chance at improving themselves and make them more visible on this platform.

With this delegation I have vowed to:

• Never upvote myself in the one month ( incl. any alt accounts )
• Fully support the people who support me daily
• Not randomly give out 100% upvotes

I know it's only 2k SP to some of you, but to me it's about the principle of the matter. What if this was 100k SP? Would I still not upvote myself? That is a tricky question, because it's so tempting to do just that. For me however, I have a target I need to hit with my daily posts to survive. ( Doing Steemit fulltime ). If I had 100k SP I would upvote myself with 1% or 2%.

The reason for this is because, for me, my target is $15 per post per day. If my post is at $13 let's say, I'll try and make up the remainder with commenting. If I don't succeed there, I'd upvote myself to fill the $2,00 gap. I believe that if someone trusts you with a delegation, why use it on yourself with a 70% upvote or 100% upvote? We're all here to help each other, so if someone helps me, I'm going to use that to help someone else.

It basically snowballs into people helping people I believe.

The voting slider is also pretty damn awesome. It makes me feel important to be honest, like I'm not invisible. LOL. No really, for me it feels great. Everyday I look for new posts, new people on the platform that has quality content, and then upvote them at 100% if I feel it's worth it. It feels so much better giving someone $0,40 odd instead of $0,02. @justinashby believed in me enough to delegate this SP to me, & I don't want to let him down by just upvoting myself or giving random posts 100% like a post containing one picture of a palm leaf or whatever.

I have never been delegated Steem Power before and I must say I feel honored that @justinashby trusted me enough and believed in me enough to bless me with this awesome gift for one month. This is a huge thing for me to be honest. For some of you it might be, "Bleh, 2k, whatever", and that's fine, but for someone like me that's still a goldfish it means a lot.

So I'm using this Steem Power to the best of my ability to help others. When I help others I inturn help myself. So it's a win-win in my opinion. When the delegation ends, I'll still continue doing the same I do now, the only difference is that I'll upvote myself then. With that glorious $0,02 :-)

So @justinashby, you have my gratitude and my thanks. I just hope that one day I can return the favor over & above. You Sir, deserve all the credit. Thank you once again, THANK YOU.
