RE: Your Future With Steemit
You know, that last paragraph describes what I've been feeling, too. And while things do change, I also know that even when Divine Providence is involved, in my case, it's not just handed to me. I might feel I need to do something or be somewhere, but I still have to show up and do the work. And I've got to mean it too. I have to try to shutter out all of the strange swirling rumors or doubts or whatever it is and just focus in on what I believe happened. That I was led her, not once, but twice, and despite all of the frankly nonsense that occurs here, there's been as much good coming out of here, too. And I've felt that as well. For the first time in a very long time I mostly look forward to getting up in the morning and coming to "work." And I feel like I'm supposed to be here. What that reason is yet, I don't know. Just like I felt I should go to school (or at least walk through that open door). But I've also experienced that what I hoped to be the last stepping stone was only the next one in the journey. So, whatever this is and whatever it's meant to be will be revealed eventually. In the meantime, I gear up and ride on. :)
Yes, thriving on Steemit may be in the stars for us. That certainly would be great. However we may be led elsewhere. For right now we are best served by playing the hand we've been dealt.
I think the desire to leave for those who appear to be champing at the bit is premature. In some of their cases, they are part of the problem here, and they will take those problems with them wherever they go until they realize that it is they who need to do some introspection and change. For the rest, it's wishful thinking, which may very well end up being rewarded for becoming the first movers.
Unless I'm directed otherwise, like I feel I was directed here, there's not a reason for me to leave Steemit to go anywhere else. As it is, my wife will have more to say about me leaving than EOS will. :)
It shows that you mean it in the way you conduct yourself.
I remember when I first got here, within the first day or so I already had people shilling EOS and they would have this greater platform. My first thought was what the hell are you doing here if this one sucks so bad in your view. I am thankful that while you rule nothing out (as who knows what the future holds) that for now, your all in here.
I tried part way in (not intentionally—I thought what I was doing was all in to start with, turned out it wasn't) so it seems to be all or nothing to try to get things going. I've been nudging that first domino now for over five months and it's budging, just not falling over. Story of my life, really, with only a couple of exceptions when it comes to earnings. So, I'm still picking away at it, hoping that it will either fall over or be whittled down to size.
