Words of wisdom, indeed, from one who knew from experience.
Since we're discussing the craft of writing / editing, here's another great quote (paraphrased):

What a fine, inspired post. (And it's great to discover just where you get your inspiration. :-) )
In these 2 brief vids, you express some profound, almost mystical truths. And all within the context of this great platform.
On Steemit, we can (hopefully) leave behind all the false selves and shallow identities so prevalent on other social network sites. And we can establish and develop a grand community of souls who can find, be, and express their genuine, "authentic" identities. We should strive for nothing less.
Regarding your scorn for greed, I could not agree more. The way I see it, greed always fails.
And in fact, we can even say that greed IS failure. If someone has attained anything through greed and selfishness, we can honestly declare that he has failed. (Of course, that is not to say that attaining wealth or prizes or glory or anything of the sort is necessarily the result of greed, or in any way wrong.)
(p.s. In my long, ongoing search for my "authentic" self, the one great thing I did was stop smoking. I have, however, kept drinking, albeit in moderation. For good reason.)
Full Steem Ahead.

These were great videos Stella! Thank you for spending part of your day with the AMA in the other thread, and these videos. You had some very intelligent and well spoken answers to share with your readers/viewers.
I will tell you, when I was getting close to the bottom of the other thread, and I upvoted one of the questions (asking about Stella_bot) ALL of the videos I had already watched started on autoplay. If you have never heard yourself talking in eight different voices, you should try it. Wacked out experience. hahaha
I hope you enjoy your drunk! Keep speaking truth!

Hello @stellabelle,
You really get into the heavy topics, I was taken aback. Creating something valuable that must exist, man I have a ways to go. This definitely isn't about what I can get but instead what I can give back, more people need to know this message, and realize that by taking and not creating- the supply will start to dwindle.
If we don't provide the it, then Steemit doesn't have value. DAMN. Your video(s) left a lot for me to think about, but I'm glad to see that being myself and aiming to help others is a good way of starting.

Let's go!

Hello @stellabelle thank you for this video . I believe a person should follow it's passion. My cryptocurrency passion and one of your videos with Teryl Brock talking about steemit brought me here. I am learing every day more then a mount and 1/2 since I become active on here. Thank you for that inspiration. When I came I was so excited about the future of steemit now I see steemit as a platform is on a truing point - critical point of it development . How funny :)

Researching and writing my A.I. series was as much a spiritual journey as it was an intellectual one, and this point you're making here was ultimately a large part of the conclusion I arrived at and has informed every major decision I've made since then. That part still has yet to be published (the whole thing was 10k words), but I think that you'll really enjoy it once it goes live.
Thank you for your words, as always. You are a light.

Even after drinking a whole bottle of Prosecco, you still make a lot of sense haha.
Steemit solved the problem of giving value to people thanks to the curation system. As more and more are becoming full time blogger on our platform =).
The only threat I think could be dealing with the inflation and the rewarding system itself which creates infinite money.

At 2:28 "we need to be authentic", a message all steemians need to hear, understand, and take to heart. If you like something let that individual know. If you don't like something, let that individual know. Do not fear the reaper called berniesanders, or any of the other downtrodden down voters. Be real to yourself like @stellabelle says, drunk and sober.

What an impassioned drunken video! It was all so very true, too!
Exactly! The society we have grown up in has forced us into these ideal shells that make us conceal our authentic selves from the rest of the world. We were taught to love conformity and fear difference and change. I really do believe that a lot of our problems in terms of interpersonal relationships could be fixed so easily if we became a society that embraced our authentic selves instead of hiding that part of us away. That's part of why I write my blog Friendship In a New Age on here, to re-popularize the true idea of friendship, in which being your vulnerable, authentic self is key.
Indeed. That is exactly what we need more of in the world today. People who have come alive with passion to make a difference in this world. People who have remembered that we are all one human family and should be working to help uplift the quality of life for all of us.
Lately, I've found that I've been asking more and more of my friends, more often, what their passions in life are. I encourage them to go do those things that they are passionate about and truly live in the bliss of pursuing their passions in life. It is the passionate people who have come alive that will lead us into the brighter future that we all hope for.
Thank you so much for posting these videos! This kind of message needs to get out there. :)

Wise words @stellabelle! I hope you don't have a hangover today! lol I love what you have said here. You really made me think 'who am I?' What is my gift to give to the world? I am not super intelligent, I don't understand technology very well, I can't create bots or other techy stuff, what I do is be real with people. I love to listen to people and allow them a safe place to explore who they really are and give them the gift of (imaginary) permission that they seek to be who they can be, without worrying about the status quo of things or modern trends, and hopefully they realize that they don't actually need permission to be themselves after all! You have inspired me to go and write a blog about this! Thank you :)

"The world needs caring, the world sharing and listening..give our gifts to one another. Find who you are.."
"Everybody is unique"
@stellablle, the message is strong and true. Everybody has their own uniqueness inside, we just need to discover it. Sometimes we are just afraid because of fear, fear of being judged.
Greed-nobody wants to give, that's the sad truth:(:(
Have a lovely day.

Great message that is so true for life and humanity and not just Steemit. In fact Steemit is like a section of life / a mini world.
Can Steemit succeed in being free of greed and scammers? If not then that doesn't look good for the world, since the world is much bigger!
However, more people are tuning into their hearts and feeling the ned to be connected to their soul and find their soul passion to find real meaning for life.
The more people / Steemians value quality, caring and authenticity over shallow, fake and fame then the more of this there will be for us all to benefit from and create a better world / Steemian platform for all to enjoy! :)
