Find reasons to keep moving forward

As I was scrolling down my feed page I came across to another quit announcement from a fellow Steemian. Not a rage quit or anything of the sort, quite the opposite actually. He blamed himself and himself only and because he is feeling demotivated at the moment he decided to take a short(?) break.

We all need that break from time to time...

He is a very decent guy who always keeps a low profile. Although I ain't gonna name names, one could easily understand that he would be more than happy if his blog drew more attention and some extra rewards came his way.

A couple of minutes later I came across to another post whose author had the exact opposite mentality on that matter. The same mentality I have also actually. Even though he was holding 1/5 of the SP the first author possessed he couldn't even imagine himself staying away from Steem and losing possibly the opportunity of a lifetime.

Being consistent and able to produce content on daily basis isn't exactly easy. There have been a lot of cases where I couldn't write a single line, yet, maybe because I keep my blog a little more casual compared to others I always come up with an idea.

To be honest with you, I was kinda surprised to see that I have made 770 posts (this one is 771) till now. Take under consideration that I am a member of the Steem family less than 2 years, 22 months to be more precise. That being said it is more than one post per day. Does it mean that I haven't been absent not even a single day? Of course not. There have been days that I didn't publish anything, but only a handful of them.

I don't know about you but I kinda treat Steem as one of the biggest opportunities I had in life and despite the fact that I wasn't around since the very beginning, aka -> in 2016, I still believe that I am among the first adopters. And so are you...And whenever I feel that something is worth all the trouble, I make no second thoughts and try to be as consistent and persistent as possible.

Living in a first world country, my earnings from Steem in terms of USD / EURO are insignificant compared to the time I spend around here. Is 2$ - 3$ - 5$ enough to put a smile on my face? Yes. And that's because the price of Steem will not always be 0.14$...

In my eyes every steem token is worth more than 10$ and that is how I treat every single steem I earn. After all, I am not here to cash out even if for some random reason Steem was sitting at 10$ tomorrow morning. Instead I power up everything.

I was fortunate enough to see all the amazing things people with serious amounts of SP could do back in the early days of 2018...If you were here, you know what I am talking about...if not...you wouldn't believe...

Just a hint...A whale's vote back then was enough to make anyone smile for a whole week...

I am sure we will have the chance to revive these moments. After all, we survived this bear market and actually, we will be stronger when the bull wake up. With all the upcoming changes that will be implemented when the testnets for SMT's and communities are over, I can only imagine how much attention Steem will draw...

So don't be discouraged by the lack of engagement and the drop in daily activity.

That's only temporary...

Have a great one people.

Cheers.
