WHAT AM I DOING!

I Do Have A Plan!
When I first started Steemit, I had a plan of action. I spent many days thinking about what I want to do, to bring something of value to Steemit. I thought out a few topics that I would use to get me started and go from there. Now being new I kind of figured that this content would not be seen by very many people. I also knew I would have to put in the work if I wanted to be heard. First and foremost in my mind is consistency. I believe that if I am consistent in my underlying themes here on Steemit, it will build the framework on which I plan to add to my content spectrum.
*My underlying themes are Consistency, Humility, Integrity, Selflessness with Awareness.
Let Me Clarify!
I never planned to only talk about one thing on Steemit the entire time. I want to diversify and talk about many different topics on Steemit. I say this and declare my intent because it seems that some here think that you have to stick to what you started with. That changing what you are posting about, and the style in which you do it is a bad thing. I feel if you do not adapt and make what you are either talking about or the style in which you blog different from time to time you will become stale and boring. The community is the decider of content and the style in which it is done! I am not just a philosopher, or artist, I am greater then the sum of all my likes and dislikes or the sum of all the little parts that are my experiences, memories, and knowledge. See when you combine all the mental and physical facts about a person, they do not equal that person. There is a third component that has to be added to the equation, which makes each and every human greater then the sum of there factual parts. This component is their essence, or being, their spirit itself, manifested through spirituality. A belief in something bigger then yourself!
*Humans are greater then the sum of their factual parts!
I Will Not Push!
I know that their are some that do not believe what I say is true, and the fact of the matter is that it is just my opinion. I do not have any proof to present to the world that says, look here this is complete 100% evidence that what I have said is true! Even as a Buddhist there are some elements that are based on belief. As a Buddhist I don't have to believe a single thing I have been told, and I don't go to any hell or suffer any more or less then if I did believe. I choose to believe in some aspects and some aspects I take with a grain of salt. This freedom to believe what I want, when I want, has made me more open minded, and pushes me to look deeper into myself. I want to understand the true nature of reality, and the only way I know how to accomplish this task is to meditate. By practicing my spiritual path, I become more aware of my surrounding, and the world itself. I practice the virtues I learned as a student to be a better me each and every day, and just like anything you practice every day it gets easier and easier! To me being compassionate and giving has become normal, it is not something I really think about unless I am trying to teach others these principals. To sum up what I am trying to say is no matter what you believe in, as long as it has good morals, ethics ect.. and you practice and live by it every day, that is spirituality. With it you are greater then the sum of your parts! To conclude this paragraph I must say, that I will not push my beliefs on anyone in Steemit.
* Your Belief Is Not Mine To Judge!
Integrity
I will continue to create content that I am inspired to make. I will do it in spite of the money it may or may not make, and I will stay true to myself always till the day I die and into the next! This is also an underlying theme, my unwavering integrity!
This is my shield or the roof and walls of my house, If consistency is the framework then integrity is what I am putting on the framework. Build into everything I post will be honesty, I am not here to scam anyone, or have conflict an any way. I will stand up for what I believe in, but I will do it with tact. If I come to realize that I am wrong I will admit to it, so I can learn from my mistake. In every post, comment, and reply I will use all the good concepts I have learned and practice every day.
*With unwavering integrity trust is easy to find!
In Conclusion
No matter where I end up here on Steemit, I know that I will have no regrets. No one will get hurt, or stolen from by me. I do have compassion to give, and empathy of heart. I try to read as many posts as I can to learn who people are and what they want to make them happy. If you reply to me I will reply back, I have to stick to this cause I know what it fells like when you don't get a reply back. It sucks, I know that the person may be busy or overwhelmed with too much to do, but none the less it fells like you put effort into it and received the middle finger! So I will make sure that I reply to every comment I ever get. I will stay humble threw out this fantastic journey, for I will not loose myself to this en-devour. If I am no longer benefiting others and myself then I have lost the point of the adventure! This is the underlying theme of humility and selflessness with awareness. To be selfish every day is a waste of life, but in the same regard to be blindly selfless is a waste of potential. I mean selflessness is a good thing only when it is done with awareness. To blindly selfless so that some can take advantage of that, is in and of itself ignorant. If you do not remain aware of those that would take advantage, you become an enabler to there sick behavior. This in turn does that person no good, cause they have just been rewarded for their bad actions. So it is best to stay vigilant and aware with your selflessness.
*Don't let a person take advantage of you, it does not help them!
*Humility is a key that unlocks many doors!

excellent life force energy!
Thank you very much for you kind comment. It is so beautiful to interact with people like you that are full of such positive energy, and I really just enjoy being alive to be apart of this wonderful community!
Good read, steemit is a great place thanks to people like you. I agree that selflessness is good only when matched with a kind heart, and a rational mind. Regarding success, you just have to stick with writing about what you love, and it will follow, as passion isn't hard to recognize.
I will give you a follow, and if you are also interested in similar philosophical debates, feel free to follow me back and check them out :)
Thank you my friend for your kind words, and your wisdom. I have followed you as well, and I will also check out your posts. I just love that there are so many great people here.
Steemit is like every other platform. Create content that benefits others in some way and you will gain a following.
Don't allow Steemit to choose your content for you.
Just because you see certain types of content doing well does not mean you need to create the same content.
Steemit is a baby. The audience needed for the type of content you are creating, or wanting to create, may not be here today but they will be here one day.
Plan long term not short term.
If you have something to offer you have a bright future on Steemit.
I have very little to offer. As far as I'm concerned my blog has yet to begin. My focus is on building a website which will be used to create the beauty blogging section on Steemit. I have lots planned. I myself am not a content creator. Why I am choosing to post at all right now I do not know. lol
Steemit is a market place for content. We are here in the "early days". Steemit might as well be a day old as far as I'm concerned. There is so much opportunity. The possibilities are endless.
=)
Absolutely agree with this, and so well said. I keep learning something everyday from many different people. This comment is what I needed to see, thank you!
I have seen many of your posts, and I must say you are driven and confident that you will get to were you are going. I respect that about you, and want to see what you have planed come to life. I do believe I have something to offer and will peruse that vision to the best of my ability. Thanks again.
