Hi Jeff,
Thanks for being your authentic self and sharing your thoughts!
I've been watching you on The Dollar Vigilante for six months and have learned a lot from you about criptocurrencies and other topics.
While I look forward to each of your new video on The Dollar Vigilante, I usually enjoy watching you talk more about your personal transformation since becoming a raw vegan/fruitarian on your personal YouTube channel during your morning walks with your dogs.
(I've been eating a 95% raw vegan/fruit diet, enjoying an intermittent fasting (18-23 hours daily), and doing high-intensity exercises regularly, and my health has improved enormously.)
When I found out you quit drinking and smoking without any uncomfortable withdrawals, I was so happy for you.
Even though I wanted to tell you this on YouTube, I didn't do it because I thought you might not see my comment because of its censorship.
It's great that I can connect with you on the amazing Steemit platform.
Let me share with you (and other Steemians) a fabulous poem called "The Face In The Glass":
When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.
For it isn't your Father, or Mother or Wife,
Whose judgment upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.
He’s the one to please, never mind all the rest,
For he’s with you clear up to the end.
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
Some people might think you’re a straight-shootin' chum
And call you a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the guy in the glass.

Jeff, if this was your first time reading this poem, please tell me what you think of it.
Have another exhilarating day!
