Two years on Steem - My reflections and refocus plans

This is a gift from @franyeligonzalez (thank you Franyeli).
After battling with some real-life tough situations in which I may not bring online and network issues I am finally online now. Thank you to all who checked on me and for all the messages and motivational poems, I sincerely appreciate.
And now, I am here to tell you all that today Mark's my two-year anniversary on the steemit platform and you’ll agree with me it's one worth celebrating, find out when and how I joined steemit here.
This seems like a good time to reflect, review and evaluate where I have been, and where I hope to get to on Steem, but before then…let’s dance a little, you know I love music. And life is not all about being too serious, a little thing to spice up life is important…
For the past two years now Steem has been my companion every single day, and some of the friends here who know me will agree with how much I have always wanted to invest in terms of growth and how to make it a better environment for everyone to blog and invest as well.
No doubt, Steem certainly has had an impact on me since I joined. Steem has made me a better person... but that may be for you to judge, maybe checking the statistics could help you in this regard.
Before I joined steemit, it wasn’t an easy thing because I don’t trust most online platforms that are said to generate income, most Nigerians will understand why I am making this statement, I am not naive. But my sister @eliany was persistent in convincing me to join. Well, I did and I think it was for good.
The more I learnt about Steem the more potential I could see on the Steemit platform.
This started sparking off new ideas for me here, there and everywhere like the Learn With Steem, The Interview Showcase, SteemTV, The steemit grandmasters, Naija role call and five more that are coming up soon….
These programs have been so helpful to many on the platform. I am not perfect, but I believe my little effort can be a motivation to someone out there.
Within these two years, I have learnt so much through constant reading, and I have got to know so many intelligent and totally interesting people all around the world with great ideas.
And within the two years, I have come to realize that steemit is not just about making the coins.
During my two years period on the steemit platform I have participated in some charity projects sponsored by @worldsmile and @pennsif and as such, I was privileged to lead the world smile project (WSP) in Nigeria.
I have also acquired Solar Installation skills both through physical training and online at some top universities in the world sponsored by Pennsif.
These projects have reached some local schools in Nigeria and have created an impact on the students, pupils and the local people around on each visit, this will continue to bring smiles to humanity at large, and I think that’s where my energy is refocusing to.
Maybe, this platform is not all about the money, but the good life it offers to humanity, I think that should be the most important thing, after all that’s what humanity should be about. If you have ever been in need in life, you will understand what I mean.
And Now?
I want to refocus my energies and ideas on Steem but not with pressure because right now I am facing a lot in real life and I don’t feel comfortable relating all those things here, this is social media.
However, I want to add more value and in the coming weeks I will launch many interesting programs that will benefit all, I am only praying for life.
I am not by any means wealthy or too intelligent but my main focus will be on helping more through my programs and projects both on the blog and off-chain.
I have discovered the real meaning of money and I have uncovered the real potential of steem. And If you ever wonder where I am from, who I am and the motivation I have to move to the next phase of my life on Steemit, Iniko has a few words to describe me in their song below...

And yeah, I also want to build self-reliance - Lessening the impact on the planet Earth - Doing good for others. If you believe in me and appreciate those little achievements keep supporting me to achieve more of my great goals.
Feel free to correct me if you notice something that is not good about me. I am not perfect, I am human. And if there is any area you will like to see improvements in my activities feel free to share your suggestions and thoughts, it could go a long way to help me and if you have already given suggestions on some aspects, be reassured that I am working on them and I appreciate such interest.
I want to appreciate everyone for contributing to my growth, without that support, I wouldn't have earned the 22k+. My journey for three years will start in an hour's time, I hope to achieve more both for me and humanity at large. I want to Install more solar PVs at different locations - will you help make this a reality..? More lives could be touched with this, think about it.

I congratulate you on your anniversary!
You have achieved a lot in two years. I think your story should be an example for beginners who are waiting for quick easy money or, on the contrary, think that it takes many years to grow in Steemit.
In two years, you have become one of the most recognizable members of the community. You connect the Steemit virtual community with the real world like no other through your projects: interviews, TV, installing solar panels, etc.
I wish you further success!
Thank you so much for those beautiful and inspirational comments, sir. I was only able to accomplish all that because of the support from friends like you. The best part of me is not seen yet, I guess I'm about to start that now.....
Thank you for your great wishes, I sincerely appreciate it.
Congratulations on the two years.
Looking forward to seeing your next new projects 😀
Thank you so much, Sir, for your kind words and support, I really appreciate it.
And sure, I will come up with more Solar Projects in few weeks to come.
Congrats, friend! Great - everything done right!
Shall I tell you something? When I read here that you were celebrating your 2nd anniversary on the Steem, I thought, my goodness, I'd forgotten myself all about that! It was a few days ago; I know that you appeared shortly after me. It's frightening how quickly time flies!
So: cheers to the next few years!
Thank you so much for your kind words.., It's interesting to know that you have been a long time here too...
Thank you for your kind gestures.., I really appreciate.
Yours is one of the most impressive "Steemit careers" (through honest, diligent work, without investment) that I have observed in almost six years on this platform. Top! Congratulations - keep it up!
Thank you so much for your kind and motivational response...this too has made my morning..
If I could put a smile on people's faces within this short time of my life on earth, I think that's priceless and the meaning of life.
Your 2 years achievement is amazing, consistency is the key I really appreciate your efforts on the platform. Keep up the good work, happy anniversary 🎉🎉

Thank you so much Franyeli, I really appreciate your kind words and thank you for the gift too.., I like it..
2 years... where does the time go?
I hope that everything in the real world works out well for you soon. I find it difficult to focus on anything "social media" related with such "distractions" but sometimes Steemit can be the distraction that we need 🙂
Two years just gone..!😊
Thank you so much for your best wishes Sir.
You are right...,Sometimes this distraction is all we need to stay focus ...or all I need to stay focus.
Thank you for stopping by.
