How to find your positive motivation in Steemit

GREETINGS

I will continually remain appreciative to contest organizers in different communities of the Steemit platform for bringing up interesting topics to write on, thank you @harferri for organizing this wonderful contest. Without routing about the bush, let's delve into the topic of discussion with the aid of the point below.

SELF MOTIVATIONAL STORY

_{WHEN YOU GOT SOMEONE AT YOUR BACK}

The reasons and motivations behind your decision to join the Steemit platform.

As a young man and student looking for a transparent platform with 100% genuineness, to create content and earn in dollars and crypto, I was very lucky to come in contact with Steemit through a very good friend of mine @bossj23. In my country, the existence of a series of Ponzi schemes that will eventually crash when they have succeeded in accumulating much capital from a victim has caused a lot of doubt in believing online platforms. But Steemit never asked for our investment but rather our consistency in creating content is a form of mining the currency to its greatest value, I decided to give Steemit a try since I loved creating content and looking at the account values of most Steemians on the platform I was moved to join as I wanted to be like them, l told myself it is better to give my hard work and be rewarded with Steems than lose my pocket to a ponzi scheme.

_{Each time my post is voted for i am always happy}

The special moment where I felt inspired and motivated in the Steemit environment. What motivates me to continue working?

I also remember that special moment I was visited by steemcurator01, it was as if I had breakfast with the governor, my breakfast was well served, I won an engagement challenge about a month ago and on a single post I received booming support, got curated by steemcurator01 and my publication was added to the @cotina magazine, I was so happy for winning the contest and this has made me worked so hard to win more engagement challenge though it will be selfish for me to think I will be winning all the time, even if I haven't won for the past weeks I received series of booming support, curation rewards and this has kept me motivated.

My journey in Steemit and how I overcomed them with an optimistic attitude.

Hahaha, obstacles are inevitable, the first obstacle I encountered in the platform was enough to discourage me, It took time for my achievement 1 to be verified by @goodybest since she was running a check on my account and this almost discouraged me because my postpaid out with $0.11 but today it funny when I look at my post.

_{Me and bossj23}

Users that has inspired me and contest I find fascinating.

The user that has inspired me the most is my mentor I call him @bossj23, my boss has led me through a series of steps to be successful on the platform and this has inspired me, he has a WhatsApp group where he mentors us on what to do and this has helped us in winning contests, even engagement challenges. Contents that inspire me are #photography, content from @steem.ofanimals community, #health contests since I am a science student, #crypto contest and most especially engagement challenge, as a matter of fact all contest inspires me the only thing is that it is quite impossible to take part in all of them.

_{My fellow steemians}

How my experience in Steemit has helped developed my potential? My hopes and aspirations regarding Steemit's role in the future.

Steemit has helped in shaping my life, I was a guy of few words but now my communication skills are gradually peaking, steemit has made me set timetables for myself for my activity since I am a student, and it has taught me to be consistent i whatsoever i do, I believe it has taught others same. My hope in Steemit is to become a moderator like my friends @bossj23, @sahmie, @muzack1 @goodybest, reach a great reputation like them and also accumulate a substantial steem power that will give me access to support/encourage other beginners with my vote.

I believe it was fun reading through this article though it was lengthy, Thank you for your patience, at this juncture, I would love to invite @basil20, @akwaowo and others mentioned in this article to share their experience, I would be willing to read and learn from you too. Remain blessed.
