A lot of us might realize at some point, that some things in life don't work out well for us, if we're doing it for the reason of gain. It might appear otherwise in some cases, but no, it's not like that really.
That's why so many people are unhappy. They focus in an "unhappy" direction. Our intention, for anything, is of the highest importance.
In the beginning, I was, of course, intrigued with the idea of getting paid for posting what I love. I still think it's an amazing thing, but the love isn't pure, until it is cleared from the "lack mentality" focus on getting something.
So from now on I'm not here for any gain.
When we give up attachment to any result, we are liberated and we're creating only for the joy of expressing, sharing, assisting and serving others.
I love writing from the heart and I'm so happy that I started blogging. I enjoy this "social media+blog" kind of space. I have also been enjoying discovering creations of others. It's like digging for gems and it's worth it to find some lovely works of art and inspiration.
So I'm not here for the money, I'm here for the ride, for the adventure. For the exploring of my own expression and for the connection.
For me anyway, the connections here feel more "natural". I go look through interesting tags and find content I like. Keep posting and commenting daily and the abundance that Steemit offers will slowly find its way to you :)

Yes, I understand. You choose what you like and what kind of connections you want to have :)
I don't doubt that it's true. I just don't feel like I realistically can or want to spend time here daily. If it doesn't come naturally to me, then I'm not going to be disappointed and I'll just keep posting and connecting when inspired. :)

It is good that you have made a wise choice so early on here. I am here new - day 45 for me, a mere 20 days before you joined.
I decided to join not for making money but to be able to have a voice and impact. I learned that this comes with a high enough SP, so, I invested in STEEM and Powered Up.
If you look at the the movers and shakers, they all have a high reputation score and a high SP. When your / my vote makes a significant impact, people pay attention to what you say.
So, think in those terms and keep growing your SP. Even if you started making significant rewards, keep it here and Power Up - do not withdraw and spend it.
All the best!
