RE: 3 Things I've Learned After 1 Month on Steemit
Nicely said. Now where's that potato salad recipe ;-). I particularly liked your comments around creating what you can because you can, rather than trying to earn from it. Not that there's anything wrong with earning from your creativity.... But if that's the sole purpose somehow it becomes tainted? Or it doesn't seem to meet the objective of being quality... I'm sure @benleemusic has some thoughts on this.
Anyway, you seem like an awesome dude so I'm following you. Take care brother!
I think the two things can flow effortlessly together - creating and earning. We don't need to separate them in our minds. If we give generously, we shall receive generously. The law of Divine compensation!
That's the key though right, with all of these things, is the mindset of giving or creating, rather than receiving. If I start creating posts with the thought of, how can I harvest as much SBD & SP from this platform as possible, it doesn't work... it's about giving of ourselves what we can, and creating value
thanks @positiveninja it's always an delicate dance when you decide to commodify your art. it can get messy. you just gotta focus on the art. the rest will settle itself. thanks for the kind words and the follow! happy steeming!
