Friendship In a New Age - The Dawn of Friendship In a New Age

regarding: If you would like to keep up with my Friendship In a New Age posts, you just have to keep me in your Following - for as long as steemit works you will be one of the people i will follow and i will check your account to see your new posts on friendship.

The idea that i just have realized is this: i made a mistake that i will fix, i started to follow some people that do not necessary write something super interesting to me, and that tends to backfire as i will occasionally miss posts from people that i do want to read posts from like you.
Will fix that soon :)

About resteem, i did not give up i found another post and after i read it i resteem it. I do not quit so easy :)

And one more thing: look i read also your introductory post and loved the humanity you have put in there but i could not helped but noticed you did not mentioned anything about the Friendship In a New Age, or did i miss it?

What i wanted to say is this: EDM is awesome but friendship is orders of magnitude more awesome.
Believe in yourself, do not quit writing, we need people like you. And i think this video i did might help you a bit..

I think actually the second one is more relevant to my point about finding the strenght to continue when things are tough

Thank you again for your continued support! I'm so glad that Steemit connects people like you and I to each other. I am looking forward to building a real friendship with you! I, too, have had that same problem, and I am working on fixing it as well. I made that same mistake when I first started out, I was under the mentality/impression that if people follow me or say they will follow me, that I owe them a follow back. So I followed so many people back without even considering whether or not I would actually appreciate their topics, etc.

People in the Minnow Support Project has since taught me that not only is it OK to not follow people back whose posts you aren't genuinely interested in, it's pretty much the standard practice, especially for people who have grown on this platform and have several hundreds of followers.

I'm starting to learn that I don't have to feel bad about not following someone back, because they will understand. The most I can do in that situation is just express my sincere and deepest gratitude that they deemed my content worthy of being followed.

Wow, that video was so on point! I really loved the message you shared. That is definitely a mindset that I try to cultivate within myself as well. It can be hard sometimes to stay on course when the little doubts come into play, and you're absolutely right, trust is a key factor in all of it. We need to trust that if we just keep on putting one foot in front of the other and keep on working towards our goal, victory will be waiting on the other side of the mountain of doubt.

Also, I really loved the way you talked about it. I could tell that you are passionate about that subject because of how you gesticulate as you express those ideas. My best friend actually broadened my horizons on the whole notion of people who gesticulate as they talk.

He said he believes that when people do that, it invites others to really listen and pay attention to what they say, because the very act of involving your whole body in the process of expressing your ideas shows just how truly passionate you are about what you're talking about. It engenders a sense of trust with the people you are speaking to, because they will think to themselves, "wow, this guy is really into what he's talking about, maybe I should pay attention!"

Thank you for sharing that video with me!
