I could care less about what I earn even it's a dollar or less and still continue to write and one day be heard. STEEMIT is a magical platform, where we can create a world of our very own. It is an ecosystem of unique minds coming together, learning from each other and this post solidified my belief in this platform. Thank you for opening our minds even further! :)

I've been on Steemit for 3 days, and it's for the first time when I really want to share something by blogging. I can relate to what you said in the article, "the pain of being real" - Whole my life I've been rather reserved on expressing myself out in the open (although I'm a designer and I also play in a rock band), but I feel that this might be the best platform to overcome my challenge.

I've once again become endlessly entranced by a @stellabelle post (quick...resteem as if to say, "look at me, I just found a diamond that fell from the sky. Let's take a moment to gaze at its beauty together").

I agree that we should be writing about what we know and our ultimate truths, but don't you think there's value in having that truth take an occasional seat on the sideline? I know education, but if I don't give it an occasional rest, I'm afraid of the potential for an impending mental implosion.

Our collective mind is the most valuable resource on earth. It's fun to see that reality brought into...reality.

Thank you for being the shiny diamond you are!

Thank you @stellabelle for "going deep" with @surpassinggoogle's Mining Our Minds thought! I read it, and thought I understood it, but you gave it detail that makes so much sense to me!

We all have something to write about. It's just a matter of pulling it out of our own minds. And opening ourselves up to other people reading about it.

I'm working my way up to a post about some of my own inner struggles. I am not there yet, but when I get there, I think it will be a relief to put it out in the blockchain.

In the meantime, I find my voice in short stories, talking about the journey of being a minnow, and making (what I consider) funny memes. There's ALWAYS something to blog about.

I look forward to seeing your community and what you put out there. Your posts are always informative and thought provoking, and I appreciate having the honor of being able to "check in" with your blog.

We do mine steem with our minds. These blogs all of us make not only add value to the platform, but we get rewarded by being creative and making these posts. The harder you work, the more steem you will mine' ie the morning earnings you will get in the end.

It is easy for people to look at @paulag and see how analysis and news about steemit had lead to her earning money so I should do the same. I don't think that is the right mindset to have. As @stellabelle said, be real and write about something you are passionate about rather than copying someone else which you may not find interesting.

I do philosophical posts because I love doing them. The hours I spend making them are fun, and the money is just a side effect.

Although philosophy or your hobby may not be big on steemit, you will find people sooner or later who will become engaged with your posts as the site reaches millions of users and you may be the first user to give exposure to your topic and lead it to victory.

To you, some things may seem boring, but if you think about it, nothing is dull. It is how you communicate your work that matters and impacts if the end user will be interested or not and there will be experiences which no one else has encountered but yourself

Agreed, you can take inspiration from others and from "what works", especially if it's something that resonates with you. But at the end of the day, you've got to make it your own, and turn it into something you're passionate about.

When I get on a roll, a post practically writes itself, because it's usually a topic I'm already immersed in and quite passionate about (possibly almost to the point of being "triggered")! lol

Anyway, great comment and posts, got yourself one more follower! :)

d-pend (73) · 7 years ago

The title of this post had me from the first instant! This is what drew me to Steemit in the first place. I realized early on that STEEM's value is being generated by the energy of our consciousness as we pour our authentic experiences, expertise, etc. into the blockchain. This is a very different paradigm from other social media, which is more like a black hole, which swallows up the value and distributes it to a tiny minority of people.

As you mentioned, Steemit has its problems as well, and the distribution of value is far from even. However, like you said, for those who never give up and genuinely share, they are destined to succeed in the long run.

I also really loved what you said about working on your thinking... when we improve the quality and potency of our thought (higher mental capacity, wisdom, discernment, etc, not just "intellectualism" or "sophistry") we supercharge the ripple effect that our very presence has on the macrocosm.

The more people realize this incredible potential, the more the hyper-evolution of humanity will quicken (I intend to write on this phenomenon that I believe is currently occurring on Earth in the near future.) We are literally becoming a new species through metamorphosis of our collective and individual awareness.

Before this comment turns into a freakin' essay (or has it already?) I'll leave off with a reiteration for my gratitude for this post and all you do within the Steemit community, @stellabelle. D-pend signing out... have an awesome day!!!

As someone who has recently joined Steemit, I have found the number of posts quite overwhelming really. Also the quality of so many of the posts is not living up to what I expected from Steemit when I first read and heard about it, so I agree that communities would be a great way forwards.

Having like minded souls connected in their passions through smaller communities would make connecting easier and increase the personal chat through the heart and cut out the comments made to get votes.

When you connect with someone with something in common, then the chat just flows and from this it's easy to brainstorm and come up with new ideas.

I love the concept of Steemit, to create positive change in the world, and I do feel that it is a long term project because unfortunately too many people are controlled by money and greed.

I believe that truth, integrity and discernment are the foundations for a good humanity and not having these as our foundation of humanity has led to the world being in the state that it is in.

There are many ways of creating change, but if morals, truth, integrity and discernment aren't leading the way then nothing truly positive and honest will follow.

Dear @stellabelle
This post really got to me. Thanks for sharing this .
I remember the time i opened steemit newly, i was always bothered about the way i post things and the post never reached my expectation. Haha

That really is tiring and frustrating, a lot of people have left the platform due to this frustration.
I almost got frustrated some time ago but i just had to keep pushing gradually.

A lot of people don't have patience and that's what make some to copy the work of others and put on their blog.

I remember a friend of mine after up to 10 posts here he got fed up and left the platform, saying he didn't have time for it..

People just need to find their own route and channel and that will do a lot and help their steeming experience.

Absolutely and positively OUTSTANDING! Being real is probably the best advice anyone can give in advice to being successful on SteemIt.

Very new my self, learning the ins and outs, but the bottom line is this is a platform for real people. The bots are very enticing, they (the bots) probably will earn you some fiat currency , but original content that you have created with your mind is much more valuable.

@jerrybanfield is a new and upcoming steemonian. He probably will end up being what we all call a whale on this platform. Why? Because he is currently sincere and transparent. Jerry just puts himself out there.

Jerry is helpful, transparent and puts people before profit. People before profit is a wonderful thing.

Thank you so much @stellabelle for sharing this insightful thought with everyone. It is a very provoking thought. This is my own question to you. Why is that some fellow steemian writes some uninteresting, irrational, non-educative posts and they still get an upvote? . Now, is it because they have one whale friend who can dash them an upvote, and so they keep on dropping all kinds things into the community?. In fact some of them even copy posts from somewhere, post it and they still many upvote.

Meanwhile, we have some set of individual who are so original with their post and still don't get a good upvote because of reasons i can still not explain.

Now this is my own personal conclusion. Anytime you want to post anything make sure it's original, impacting, educating, meaningful and fulfilling to you.Then it does not matter who upvote or who did not as long as you are finding fulfillment in it and you know you are touching somebody's nee, as well as answering someone's question through that post. Which is one thing have learnt coming to this platform and am grateful for that.

It was always the thing that bothered me most about Bitcoin. The way that it seemed to be just a drain on energy for the apparent reason to make money, I am so glad that Dan came up with this other way. and it attracted me to Steemit. In some ways the film 'Soylent green' kept coming to mind, where people are the food that keeps the system going. Your analogy is much nicer. As regards how we contribute 'Write about what you know' is what my English teacher always told me and thats what I try to do. Although I may not be the best blogger I am using my experience here to hopefully improve and form my own voice.

Such a worthwhile read. You should really find a niche, while forcefully not doing so. Every human is unique, his or her experienced define them. So write about something you know.

Basically I'm selling my point of view for 3.50 a post. Is it mind mining or simply stream of conscious writing that wins the prize? Admittedly playing my back papers is not to everyone's taste, but I'm offering pieces of who I was to create a broader picture of who and why I am the way I ham. I see many people here who are excellent at curating an image, an epoch of people raised on social media. Then I see the older generation that's had blogs for years and are at last finding an audience. I agree it is sad that people feel they need to try to scam or falsify instead of simply offering themselves and seeing what that can achieve, rather then attempting to duplicate or plagiarize someone else's success. Great post.

I must respectfully disagree with your opening statements regarding cryptocurrencies.

Given that transaction validation and securing the blockchain may seem very abstract from the outside, it is performing a critical role for the entire ledger.

Without a large network confirming and agreeing on what has been spent and sent to others, things would swiftly descend into chaos.

Using the human mind to validate and transfer value can work, but it only shifts the energy consumption up the chain. All that food people eat? It was grown and processed somewhere.

The displacement of energy use is now shifted to the farms and factories where the food comes from. A cursory glance at the typical organic farming enterprise tells me that the energy consumed as a combination of petrol, electric and even the food that the employees eat - adds up to more than the cents per kilowatt-hour crypto validation does.

But aside from your stance on crypto, I understand your intent.

Steemit is a platform that allows us to open up the possiblities of our minds. Conceive of an idea, write it, edit it and post. Suddenly, you have a small bit of stone in a raging river. Build enough of these and you have a levee.

Pile yet more on and you have a small dam, diverting payment towards your efforts. It spurs more motivation, and the creative juices flow. You keep building and shaping until you have a small torrent pooled behind tall walls of quality posts.

That is what I agree with. The ability to build your own future and harness the willing transfer of value.

Interesting post, thank you for sharing it.

This. Articles like this are exactly why I joined the site & I'm glad I decided to stalk your writings today because this was exactly what I needed to read.

When I first joined it was around the time you were both falling apart beautifully & becoming more you at the same time. I'd run across your posts on Medium & the Choose Yourself group and loved the way you wrote with such raw truth, so I joined to read stuff exactly like this & I'm just thankful that your writing led me to this site (even though I didn't continue with it until a year later) & not only continues to inspire, but that you've really thrived. Kind of beautiful to see, you know?

Don't mind me, just having a small awkward Fangirl moment before checking out the people you mentioned.

Wow, great post @stellabelle .. can I suggest also, adding the power of the heart, which you have already shown.. Appreciating the contribution with the Mind and sharing it with the Heart power .. Magnetically it has 6,000x more power and connects people over the entire planet. Every time you think of someone we actually connect ..

More accurately, you mine steem with your mind AND your wallet. No money in the account, no reward for the fruits of your mind. I think it's important people understand this or they will become frustrated and quit.

Solid overall tips for all of the newcomers to Steemit @stellabelle. I pretty new and have noticed that a lot of newer folks spam the blog with numerous posts rather than to write a few that have more impact, meaning and are more significant.

I have been reserved most of my life,to some extent i am getting out of that reservation.
There is a way social media or Internet makes us portray a different us,just because its is social media.
Some one might be broke as hell,but on their bio we titles like "Entrepreneur,CEO,Investor"
I did grow up in the village and in hardships,the next time i am in the village i will take photos of our village and share more.
It will be a great series i promise.

Write about being broke and a failed entrepreneur. I'll read that one. If you're poor and live in a village, write about what it is like to live in a village and what your life is actually like.
I have liked of what you talked of being real here,be you.
