Very inspiring post. I agree with you - it's dangerous to focus only on the money here on steemit, and to lose yourself and forget why you started. I learned myself that money isn't everything. There were times in my life when I owned a nice apartment and had house parties every week, I bought exclusive drinks and everything to make my guests happy. Turns out everyone was having more fun than myself. With success come gold diggers and fake people, and you don't need them in your life! What truly matters is health, your loved ones and simply experiencing life and living it to the fullest.
So to everyone - stick to your own values and topics that interest you, don't just post for the money!
