It happens. I know when I first arrived on steemit last year I wasn't sure what to expect; but now, I do.

And yes, participation on a high level is crucial to success. But so is determination and knowing what you want from it. Are you here to just get crypto? Are you here for the blogging platform? Or the interaction? There are so many possibilities but knowing what your goals are... is very important.

Being in a funk... yeah.. I'm just coming out of one myself. But in the end, I realize my lack of focus here was what I needed to see where I wanted to be.
