Why You Should Treat Planet Steem As A Way To Use Your Superpowers

sacred-agent (61) · 7 years ago (edited)

Great Advice StellaBelle !!

I am not saying you should quit your job. You should not! What I am saying here is that you should figure out what your superpower is, and then either create a community, or help someone create something you believe in, which uses your skills.

No worries if it comes AFTER Christmas... consider putting on a Santa outfit and then either get stuck in "traffic" or something that I'm SURE You will come up with AND this will make the video even MORE Funny & Great...

Perhaps You could combine a variety of Saturday Night Live Xmas skits created over the years...

You have the "Midas Touch", @StellaBelle... AND think most of us could use a bit of humor right about now...

I'm already looking forward to Your incredible Creative Genius @ work...

Have you noticed that people who are more socially involved do better than those who are socially isolated?

This is totally true and will continue to be as long as this platform continues to exist. People go for authenticity but more importantly, they go for that of their friends. When i first joined this platform, my mentor @tj4real told me the secret for success here. He said just try to make friends here and see how fast you will grow. It was and still is the best way to succeed here on steemit and i am regret not taking action immediately.

Amazing, we really have a similar attitude. I would love it if we could collaborate.

僕のことを覚えるか覚えないかわかrないけど ;-P
I am pretty passionate about writing right now and have other responsibilities (between 3D life, the Deadpost Initiative, and “moderating” the Be Awesome chats and just staying in touch with so many people. But I would love it if there’s something we can do to collaborate so I hope you can’t tell me what you are planning. I’ll be on discord in two or three days at latest, I can find you in slothicorn chat room right?

I started posting 2-4 times a day. I didn’t want to take your advice first because I wanted all my posts to be gold but I find steeming much more fun now that I’ve not relaxed a bit and allowed things to just come out how they want to come out.

Also I’m going to use this post to convince some friends of the awesome people at steemit! Thank you!

Ah, one more thing....you don’t need to be scared. If you are filled with passion and love and desire theres no way you’ll end up back in a situation that you detest! You’ve already made your value abundantly clear!

Keep leading communities and make new accounts so you can start from 0 to prove how to do it, i think many minows need to be shown how to start from 0 and how its all about hardwork in comments, maybe in the future it wont be this easy, ever thought about that? Worries me a lil, that maybe this is just the easy times, the good times, the fat times when it was easy to accumulate steem, but maybe it shoudl be a lil harder, and it will be when millions are all competing for this free money, hah people wont just let this free money be given away like this for long we will see massive crowds come in which is GOOD oh it will be GLORIOUS

we will see such amazing crowds of people all stampeding towards steemit an its going to give us a 10 million user account VERY fast and I bet we can get to 1 billion users by THIS time 2018 so the end of 2018 in ne year from now i bet we will zoom past 1 million and go straight to 1 billion and break records....

I have two superpowers relevant to Steemit. First, as a dolphin - even a small dolphin - I can help folks out in a way that adds up to something important. I've got that in action -- right now -- in my BLACKLUX Holiday Party for @blacklux, who is still recovering from the hurricanes in Puerto Rico. That party runs for 14 days. I'm matching $50 SBD in transfers to @blacklux, and putting the SBD from 14 days of party posts in her account, too. And party-goers are finding that it can be rewarding to help out someone else, too. It's an awesome feeling to be able to do this. Without Steemit, I couldn't do it.

My other superpower is that I can eat from the land - from weeds, wild plants, and mushrooms. And by putting tiny little seeds in the ground, too, I can make food appear in days or weeks! A lot of food! I don't just know how to do it. But I show people how, right here on Steemit. I don't just repeat stuff I copied from pixabay or wikipedia. I show people, week after week, what I'm actually foraging and eating, or growing.

And I can cultivate a community around foraging and gardening, too. I showed that with the @foraging-trail and the @gardening-trail. But I'm like you and can't abide cheating. So I'm trying to figure out another way to do that - one that's more in my own hands.

Superpowers rock! :D

enjoyinglife (72) · 7 years ago

Hey Stella! Enjoyed this post a lot cause it represents me in every way, it represents us.
When I first recognized the glitches in this Matrix it was about 10 years ago. If I'm correct. I was 15 years old back then... My life was never the same after that, shocking experience at first but rather enjoyable after :) Changed lot of preferences, lost majority of the people I was hanging with through life... Started to value different things, deeper conversations... became heavily irritated with any kind of bullshit and artificial stuff, know what I mean?
feels like all that artificial idiotism is drowning my freedom, and I love my freedom :) :) :) I loved it since kindergarten! Everyone was getting on my nerves even at the youngest of age, I was like, who are you to dictate how I will spend my time? And the beliefs just grew exponentially over the years, I developed such strong beliefs that there is no kind of wind that can change my direction even 1%... And I'm enjoying the road, whole my life I was sure I couldn't be a slave... it was just too hard for me to process that even as an option, so I searched and searched... thankfully crypto-space in general and this beautiful platform gave me an alternative, I can now visualize even better and move in the way where I wanna be in the future :) Having so much more time and stronger finances. Pure perfection <3
I enjoy my authenticity... It has changed my life, whole life people go through life scared of being authentic... its a trap :) we need to focus on the things that matter, getting ourselves back... giving time to ourselves, since this corrupted system is wasting it to the max... not to mention power of LOVE, everyone ignores it and thinks being cold is their strength when in reality love is the highest frequency, no one can negate that :)

Thank you for this beautifully crafted post, feels like something I had written. Maybe in one of my past lives when I could actually write good English :P haha
I will definitely focus on your posting more in the future and I hope we can stay in contact :) Sending you peace and love, enjoy your day!

What people don't realize is that smaller communities, err....tribes are forming within Planet Steem. These sub societies are creating social tribes that provide a sort of insurance for income. In its essence, it's social insurance, based on people voluntarily associating with like minds. The more value you create, the more you are valued by those who are similar to you.

I've been thinking about this for a while as well. If value is determined by the marketplace, and every marketplace values things differently, then we should focus on creating the kind of value that we want other like-minded individuals to find important as well.

Even though my “lickable wallpaper” is modular synth videos with live drums, I could not agree more. Period. My creative output has reached just about every mainstream platform....but it’s the tribal nature of steem that has me roped in and believing this is the actual future for creative output. Forget building a following for your band...I just want to be part of the tribe!! There isn’t much of a huge eurorack synth community on here yet...and the feeling that there is still time to be a significant part of a tribe that doesn’t even exist yet is amongst the most exciting things I’ve ever blindly stumbled on, and I’m throwing my time and money at it this year.

Agreed! Iv'e always felt that there was something "wrong" with the world and that I am here to change something. for so Long I didn't understand quite what it was or what I was here to do. As I learned about the matrix system and my perceptions changed, so did my sense of purpose. I know that I have superpowers and am here to use them to change the world for the better! I also know there are forces opposed to this that protect the system. this is why we need to form tribes and use our collective powers to make this change happen! We are powerful beyond belief, this is why the system is designed to keep us separated and fight with one another. Steemit is such a powerful platform to connect people, I feel like there's something very different about it, which is one of the main reasons why i'm here.

Hey @stellabelle,
Thats the kind of post I have been yearning to write for sometime now. Its been brewing in my mind. Freedom is fun. That moment when you don't give a freaking fucks about what anyone does or doen't think about you.

You live your life. You see clearly. You think on your own. You become who you wanna be. You use your God-given SUPERPOWERS and change the world for good.

Since I came to Steemit, I have had that feeling of total freedom. I for one have just recently graduated from the university and made my way through National Service. After that, its been one call after another about "submit your Cv here or there". "Hey George, Why not take this job? Why not take that job? Your colleagues have done it this way..." and other B.S.

I just look at them and smile for they have no clue where I am right now nor do they even understand where I'm going to...I don't wnat to waste my time doing the explanations. They will see my life unfold...and it will be so cool ....that they would want in too.

This same drive for societal change is also my motivating factor just like you. I have created a world for health-professionals, health-enthusiasts, and clients to connect. Together with my core team, @AIR-CLINIC has been on a flight. Its been an amazing experience for me.

ANyway, lemme not bore you much. Cheers To freedom!

If you don't know what your superpower(s) is, you're going to lose out to someone who does know. Passion wins the game. They don't teach you this in school, but I know it's true. I've lived this. You might not succeed today, while that asshole does, but if you quietly work, with determination, and passion, and the thing you're working on fits into your superpower wheelhouse, you will win eventually. Or even if you fail, you will be much wiser than when you started.

This alone is enough for me tonight. This is undoubtedly my word for today or even my word for December. Bookmarking this post. In it is so encouraging to curb laziness and to unleash the superpower in me.

marshalllife (64) · 7 years ago

you are right about this as everyone needs to find his passion and fit in to what they can do most, or else some who knows his way come to do it better, i can relate to this most,
I'm a Rapper who has released about 2 E.ps but like you said developers adopted the platform earlier during steemit development era and still. much in development and they weren't much artist or artiste then this makes it more difficult for most minnows like us with some skillz to glow as it is easier for a minnows who got that developing skillz can gain more visibilty if their code is merged with the projects,

i have tried several ways to be useful to this community as i tried as much as possible to give in all i got, i know i heard about steemit not too late and not too early as i joined october,
far so good i have been so much to this platfirm and its community,
also don't want to be left out i tried contributing my own ideas through the utopian-io platform (though i was happy a contribution of mine was implemented this week)

Trying to grow and show all steemians that i can be more than what i am,
i also joined the openmic community every week in order to support the platform of the steemit artiste cause i believ oneday when steemit is out of the beta phase, entertainment might be the major role the platform may be (my predictions)

and i believe i can do more,
like @techslut said i too I'm always active of about more than 17hours daily , and also guiding newbies and promting steemit on telegram and in Nigerian through the platform @Airhawkproject,

@stellebelle i would say you have tried more in thkse failed job of yours you mentioned , owhat you should know is that those jobs were setting you up for greatness here,
you have really carved a niche for your self here, what about if i say The wolf of steemit is my Role model many will say I'm too hyperbolic lolx
but that might be the truth,

well i don't want to say i failed in music cause i still have a long way to go,
the future have alot to say about that,

and as steemit is here to stay for good,
so we are here following her footsteps.

Good day @stellabelle.

I actually agree with you...I think technological unemployment is a great thing. There are so many bs jobs out there. The last two decades witness, the US at least, create jobs simply for the sake of creating jobs. They are low-end, terrible paying, mind numbing experiences for all who are involved in them. They really do need to be automated out.

Of course, the bankster run system cant allow this. They need to give the masses a bit of money (and even more credit) to keep spending so their numbers on Wall Street look good which gives more of the pie to them.

I have been tossing around in my head the idea of STEEM as a form of a basic income and what that would look like in terms of the numbers. It is possible yet the price gets up there quickly. Of course, this is crypto so something getting up there isnt foreign. Plus, when we take away from the banksters, the means we might not be talking such a large net.

I agree that STEEM is going to change the world This is a sensational opportunity for people who are involved in this blockchain right now.

Steemit is really a community that enables people get out of slavery....yes slavery.

I have done 3 businesses and failed and never gave up....I have realized Steemit is for folks who want freedom,who want to escape the slavery.

It's only such folks who have been searching for a better way, who understand,stick and succeed on Steemit.

Its only such guys who have passion who won.

You might not succeed today, while that asshole does, but if you quietly work, with determination, and passion, and the thing you're working on fits into your superpower wheelhouse, you will win eventually.

It's really hard to get out of the slavery,but trying to get out is worth it.

I had a job for almost 2 years but it sucked and I was enslaved and quitting the job was a big risk,but worth it.

I am on my way to freedom and with the help of Steemit I will reach and also impact more lives here in Uganda by showing it to many Ugandans.

Is Planet Steem an actual platform, or a cool name for our little rockin' community?

I work in IT and in about 6 months my project will be over... due to visas, locations and other complications, I'm really not sure what my future will hold in June 2018, so I'm pushing hard to make Planet Steem my full time job so that in 6 months it can be my actual job and I can earn a monthly wage from it. I don't need much to live, but with the sort of work I do, there are no part-time jobs, it's all or nothing... and the all requires a heap of travel and all my time.

We'll see how it goes, but your advice here is exactly the direction I want to go... and I want to escape the matrix.... the story of which will be documented right here on the platform that allowed it.

If you are trying to find a wage in Steemit, I would suggest you ask the whales what they need done in Planet Steem. That is something that very few people even do, and no one has yet asked me what I need help with. This is one of the most shocking things actually.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I understood the different between Steemit the platform and the Steem blockchain that has a number of other interfaces... I didn't know that the landscape was called Planet Steem, that's a super cool name.

I am personally trying to build the Ninja Warrior/OCR community on Steemit. The community is huge on other platforms (Instagram primarily, but also Facebook) but Steem is perfect for actually going into depth about training techniques, competition results, etc. This is the community I'm very excited about and one that I think could adopt this platform in a big way. The TV shows often are the highest rating shows in that country.

I don't quite understand why trying to draw a wage from Steem is the wrong approach though, I understand that the more Steem I hold the better for my community... but if I can spend 40 hours a week on it and not work a 'proper' job wouldn't that be best?

I'd love to help the whales out... I just don't really know how to go about asking... Whales seem to get a trillion comments and I honestly wasn't sure those comments were read (again, thank you so much for replying so thoughtfully).

That "slave to the system" mindset is embedded in us from kindergarten, where kids are taught to sit up straight, sit quietly and do "busy work", and not to question too much around them, preparing the next generation to fill all those boring jobs... and the longer you're in one of those jobs the harder it is to find yourself, or your superpower as you put it.

Your words are just on point. I have a superpower and I have discovered this for some time now. My superpower is the ability to bring people together, get them to believe in a thing and live for it. I have a convincing power, I can convince you to believe we are alien, lol.
My superpower has helped me bring many into the steemit platform, it has also helped me to start a community without any support and my people all believe in me and this great community.

I'm proud they believe in me, joining me in building the community, using the community tag in their posts even when then only receive $0.01 when curated by the community account. Just wish I have the right support, maybe curators or whales dropping by or maybe some delegation to the community account, so they can be rewarded and we can move to the next phase of the community, i.e promoting steemit to millions through our community.

We already have laid down plans to grow the community but one have to slow down a little so we don't bring people in and then they become inactive due to no support.

I believe in my superpower, and I know one day, we will get there.

if you quietly work, with determination, and passion, and the thing you're working on fits into your superpower wheelhouse, you will win eventually. Or even if you fail, you will be much wiser than when you started.

not in the corporations best interest that you discover your superpowers.

create something you believe in, which uses your skills.

All truth!

Great post @stellabelle.

i hope people do realize that i lucked out because i found Steemit before anyone else. But, if you look closely, there are others who found Steemit when i did, but didn't fare as well. I gave up my day jobs instantly, and I often wonder how i would operate if i found steemit right now, when the payouts are smaller.....hmmmm.

Yeah, @papa-pepper tried an experiment early on, by posting another kind of content under a different account. It was a lot harder to duplicate his earlier success. He eventually ended the experiment and expanded his own posting topics rather than keep the two separate accounts. Even with effort, timing does count. But without the effort, the results are sure - just not in the right direction.

Even for folks just finding Steemit, there is still opportunity. We see some folks really rise if the topics, their voice, their sociability, and work ethic all line up. But connections to folks with power, right from the start, seem to have an outsized impact. That's the same as it ever was, and is a product of chance as much as anything else. Best of fortune with your planned project in 2018.

I"m not encouraging anyone to quit their day job! I needed to be clearer on this, because if you don't have a social group which is stable, it won't work well.....I need to write a part 2....about how to create or help build a community first before anything like quitting a job happens.

Yes, but I am encouraging people to do so once they are ready to do that. One of the signs of being ready is when people have steady income coming from their investments that cover their basic expenses. I promote entrepreneurship all the way.

stellabelle (75) · 7 years ago

Yes, well that is a different thing altogether. I don't want people who are barely scraping by to quit their jobs! Keeping one's income steady, and building something on the side is the ideal way. I wrote my entire book while working at a Toyota Dealership. To quit that job to be a "writer" would have been suicide.

I really liked your reference to us all having a superpower. It could give quite a mental shift to our personal realities, and our possible places within society (aka not having to follow certain paths because they're expected of us).

The next step would be to integrate this way of thinking into how we bring up the next generation - or are they already way ahead of us?

They are much more than a "blogging platform". They are much more than Social Media 3.0. What people don't realize is that smaller communities, err....tribes are forming within Planet Steem. These sub societies are creating social tribes that provide a sort of insurance for income. In its essence, it's social insurance, based on people voluntarily associating with like minds. The more value you create, the more you are valued by those who are similar to you.

This is totally true about the steemit community.

btw, I am looking for about 5 special people from all over the globe to help out with a very special project in 2018. Make yourself be known to me.

So Iam taking you up on your offer. Can Steemit be the saviour to my idea? do tell me @stellabelle. Here's a Link to my idea.

You make a lot of great points. I think "mindset" is probably one of, if not the most important, aspect of doing well on steemit and what allows you to "be free".

clicketyclick (45) · 7 years ago

Lovely post @stellablelle - we certainly have a lot in common, if I may respectfully so observe. If your very special project happens to be the same as mine, then we have a deal!

As you mentioned about robots

Unlike most humans, I welcome this shift. I fucking hate boring jobs, and if a robot can do it, then I am more free to help society evolve into a more colorful and interesting version of its current dreadful state.

Now my project is not about making robots, but amongst other things, to prepare us for when the labour market dries up completely because of them.

A major problem with the current financial system is that purchasing power is supposed to trickle down, which it does not. Joblesness exacerbates the effects of this. The project I have in mind has as a side effect that purchasing power gets fed into society where the most basic demand for essential things are - at the bottom of the social pyramid, at grassroots level, where it belongs.

In this way even the completely non-productive will be feeding incentive for production into the economy where it is most needed. Those that have to resort to undesirable ways to make ends meet won't have to anymore. There is an amazing lot of creative power currently locked out of positive participation in the economy at that level by design. If their neighbors have purchasing power and they have the means to creatively fulfill their neighbor's needs , they will.

I was determined to figure out how to be free from wage slavery. That was my bitch.

...which is why I resigned from two promising career jobs nearly half a century ago and have done from filing a patent so baking pies to selling oriental carpets to running a refrigeration business, and more...just because I couldn't stomach the hierarchical wage slavery I would otherwise have had to put up with.

Never got rich, as the system hit back with conditions and taxes and at one stage even with a 23% interest rate, but I learnt a lot this way, for which I am grateful.

It also gave me a very sincere empathy for those who seek the same. Hence the project.

Please let me know if you are in any way interested - and please share with whoever you think might be.

Kindest

Planet steem is more than a blogging platform for those people including me as I no longer turn to my parents for the needs of my life what most boys of my age would do here.
I thank planet steem for this.

But i partially didnt fail. Im still trying to fully get to my chewy center. My imagination is full on but my focus and peoductivity is low. My "tribe" seems to be forming but it changes and its new.

I have never had the courage to do exactly what you've been doing, no matter how bad I wanted to. Guess I didn't want it enough or maybe the alternative wasn't anathema enough.

Wonderful read @stellabelle. It got me thinking, question myself. But I think I already know my superpower. I've learned that here. I've discovering my passion for drawing. It brings a smile to me, and to others as well. It brings me joy and fulfills me. It challenges me and makes me want to learn and I love it. I've grown with STEEM over the past 6 months and it was wonderful experience. I want to keep it up.
As I'm currently unemployed I'm beginning to put more and more time and effort into this platform and various projects I feel connected to. But all that work feels almost effortless because I actually love doing it. Yes there are some difficult days but I somehow get through them because I know which way I'm taking. I can say that I'm happy :)
I'm a lone wolf of sorts, but I've learned that here you need to find people that have similar interests so that you can learn, grow and, I hope it won't sound too bad, but to take inspiration from them. Sometimes it's difficult just to create, create and create and having someone to talk to or to brainstorm with helps a lot. It's hard for me to do so, but I'm beginning to embrace that and to use it when I need it.
Thank you for this article. I liked reading through it and I feel like it gave me reassurance. Now I'm more certain in what I want and what to look for.
