If you want to do something, just go do it! Procrastination can delay or destroy all your goals ~ Charles Fuchs.
What's up STACKERS!
I'm going to have to get a little real here today, as you guys know that I've been consistently posting on Steem for about 7 months and I don't think I've even missed a day without logging into the platform at least once. 👨🏼💻
However Today was different, I felt a little "Burned Out" and was procrastinating for hours if I even wanted to do a post or not but then reminded myself, No Excuses!
We all go through these times of "burnout" on the things we do on daily bases such as working out, dieting, tasks we do etc... etc... (blah, blah, blah... I can list hundreds).
I then reminded myself what one of my mentors told me many years ago that it just takes a person just a few minutes to talk himself out of doing something that he or she wanted to do. 🤷🏼♂️
Just think about it, how many times a day do we all go through questioning ourselves if we should do something or not to do it? In my experience, we go though thousands of these "little decisions" a day.
So I took a few minutes to gather my thoughts and asked myself, "Am I really burnt out or just making excuses?" Guess what happened? I was just making excuses and talked myself out of posting today.
Another thing that popped up that was very interesting to me was that I found out the main reason why I was "feeling" this way. Most people would call it, "A Moment of Clarity". 🤣
My damn "Goals" was not high enough... then I started to write down why the hell I was on Steemit. I was here to talk about crypto, earn"Steem", help and build the community, motivate and inspire people, become social, make new friends, and stuff like that. 👨🏼💻
You see, I lost my way (even if it was for a day or two), but at least I'm aware why I was thinking this way and now I know what to do if this happens to me again, lesson learned. 💁🏼♂️
Where am I going with this?
Regardless what happens to us on a daily bases, if we have high enough goals and meaning... we all can motivate ourself to be consistent everyday.
I truly think a lot people can relate to my experience and learn from what I was going though. Heck, I hope it motivated you... like it did myself.
So have huge goals, stay consistent, stop making excuses... and let's all start winning together in this funny "Game" we call life. 💞
Keep On STACKIN! 💰
P.S. Steem price is up huge today! (Maybe that motivated me to do a post). 🤣
This is the post we all need.
It is a booster to hang in there and Steem way high.
Your post stands high among others to say highly.
DO NOT GIVE UP.
DO NOT BURNOUT
STAY FOCUS
THANKS MY MAN
KEEP ON STEEMIN’

Boom💥💥💥 Ouch dude!!! You got me right between the eyes 👀... I started on Steemit a little while after you did, and bought 1,000 Steem, and put it all towards Steem Power, did a few posts, then fell off the side of the Earth. Got busy with the family and life in general, when Steem hit $7, was like cool, I made a little money, but still didn’t do much. Then with about a week left in 2017, I told everyone I would do at least 1 post a day, then stopped on my second day... I have been doing well with trading and my private Wealth Mastery Group is up to 450 people, but Steemit has been my Achilles Heel... I watched one of Jerry Banfields videos last night and got all pumped up, and did a couple of posts... It really is time to step up to the plate and put my account in the Six, then Seven figure range... Thanks for the wake up call😃

I completely agree with you. My brain does rebel on me and from time to time, it decides that it wants to go on strike. What you say is true, goals need to be set and met. More importantly, they need to be prioritized, or else it will just get swept away.
I started Steemit 4 months back and have written one article a day, no excuses. Once it has become a habit, it gets easier. Steem on!

Consistency can be hard for many, you have to self motivate you on the struggles to continue, not every day is a day of highs. If you can do this on the lows you can do this anytime no matter what. But it doesn't hurt to take a break now and then in order to not get worn or burnt out. Refresh the mind and continue.

I was feeling the same yesterday, and not even burnt out on steemit, just didn't feel motivated after getting rained on all day at work and having some personal issues. I still threw together a post, touched up an old piece of writing and got it out the door, commented on all comments on my posts and ran through my voting power on some articles I enjoyed, throwing in comments when I felt like it. Staying motivated and consistent is key if you want success, and I want success here and for steemit itself. Thanks for this one man, good motivation during a down time!

Hi @stackin , you really put the i on the "I" :)....i really find myself in your experience although i'm barely having a month here( 3 months since i created my account). Each day i worked my ass off to prove (to me and to others) that steemit is trully a place where you can thrive, express yourself and you can contribute and help others too...for last month all i know since i wake up until i go to sleep is steemit platform and discord channels in which i'm engaged...i wish i could make it easier for me to be here but my situation doesn't let me afford the luxury to spend less time ...at least now:)..when i will be "bigger" i will have more access to time for fun or spend more with my kids....would love to have a new laptop too and hopefully i will get one soon through my dedication and hard work:). I love your initiative and your inspiration and 100% i'm following you! Goodluck dear steemian brother!

What’s up @stackin.
You’re completely right it takes time and effort. You gotta read and comment and make posts that are actually thought out, not simple things in order to make profit here.
But have another question for you. You have heard of the debate right now about pegging SBD to $1 right? If you haven’t you should look into it. I hate to sound like one of those people promoting my own post, but check out my post about why SBD should not pegged to the $1:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@ginquitti/high-sbd-or-usd1-sbd-putting-greed-aside-high-sbd-is-still-best
I’m a relatively small account. Not many people read my blogs. But i wanted to get this out there for people to read because i feel like it hasn’t gotten much attention. I feel like it has been pretty small news but everybody should know about it. It is something that will affect the platform majorly and i think everybody should have a say if it happens or not. I’m not asking for and upvote or resteem or anything, just that you look into it and spread the news of what might happen so more people are involved with the decision making. If this receives enough support, we make it not happen or if your opinion is that it should be pegged to the dollar then you can get support to make that happen as well.
I just want people to understand the situation and know what is going on

Must be a sign from the Universe to become consistent 🤣.. but I can totally relate to what you’ve experienced!

Not because im a huge whale or a medicore dolphin, no simply because steemit makes more sense to me than other socialmedia sites.

So far in the almost 100 days that I have been in Steemit I have been able to post one article a day.
At first I went on the usual route of joining challenges and nothing wrong with those but for me if you are posting stuff like that on a daily basis you will bore your followers really quick and your engagement level will go down. besides you get mired down by all the others doing the same thing.
So 2 months in I decided to change how I posted . I write one quality ( IMO its quality haha) post a day, set out to change followers to engagers and swim a little farther and enjoy the community.
And boy have I reap the rewards. Been curated a number of times. Met some pretty awesome people that are like-minded, created a mentoring group that places uniqueness and quality of content as it's highest ideals and set out my goal of 60 reputation and 1000sp.
Sometimes I do waver and think of going through the easy route of posting 5 marvel posts and popping 5 bots on each one but I remember that what I want is organic growth that I worked for. I don't want bots to become a crutch because I cant make content.
The fruits of the labor will be sweeter when I work on it on my own merit and talent. I am not opposed to using bots and I use them from time to time to put me back to a trending page but to make use of it solely is just plain lazy for me.
I intend to hustle my ass off in creating content, engaging people and paying it forward by mentoring people to become motivated and be the best versions of themselves.
So no excuse but to keep on hustling and stackin!
