Why am I here in Steemit?

This is the question that I've asked myself, not on the day I joined, but a few days ago. I can still remember when my boyfriend mentioned this community and I just gave him a smile. In the first few months, I never took it seriously. Since I love to take pictures, I just posted some of it in my blog once in a while or even seldom checks my account.

A few weeks ago, while scanning on my feed, I was able to read something inspiring that caught my attention. I realized that I just wasted the opportunity to improve myself here since day one, because I did not focus. Starting that day, I keep on reading different posts. Getting some tips on how to improve or develop. Also, I started posting my Daily Photos, Norez Images, almost everyday.

I will not deny that seeing those big figures under on some posts did not catch my attention. Then, realizing that I only earned a very small figure and only gained few upvotes & comments in my posts. Then, I started to ask. How were they able to do it? What makes them succeed or level up that high? Then the question popped, why am I here?

As I read this on WIKIPEDIA.

Steemit is an opportunity, not only FIGURES but LEARNING.

I am here to earn, it is a normal fact. But, I am also here to learn and meet new people. In everyday that I check my account since that realization day, I already have that feeling of excitement. On what? Not just on the feedbacks about my posts, but to read some inspiring blogs and view some beautiful & amazing photos. Everyday, I am more inspired to capture real moments and add it in my collections of my Daily Photos. Recently, I am also inspired to create meaningful writings and share to everyone.

There are lots to think about and to be honest, I can't even point out which one to start. For me, the real essence why I am here is that I am having fun everyday while doing things that I love to do. Above the big figures that I imagine, it gives me a feeling of fulfillment. To meet people with the same passion you have, it is like a new family from another dimension.

I am still a starter or a newbie, as the common term applies. But learning in Steemit is fun. I know exactly that my journey here will not as easy as I think. But going on that SUCCESS ROAD will definitely an exciting ride.

MOTIVATION + DETERMINATION + ACTION + PASSION = SUCCESS

I am hoping to inspire fellow Steemians, especially the newbie like me, be more productive here in Steemit. There is a big picture ahead showing that all the Whales started as a Red Fish.
