Steem Together: Why Do You Do This?

in steempowerment •  6 years ago 


The Why is one of the most important motivators for success. I wish I would of known this many years ago because it would of saved me lots of heart ache and time. Our Goals also will seem closer also once you have a well established Why. Whether its a long term Goal or any kind of small daily task we have at hand. Having the proper motivation here on @dtube is key and the why is the driving force for things things I do.

So today I ask you fellow Steemians, what is your why?

Let me know in the comments below!

The why is almost always the most important question to answer, no matter what you do. Why is the money interesting? You already said it: To provide for your family. So the actual reason is to be able to get by. I'd say this is more of a duty, a necessity, an extrinsic motivation and thus less important than the reason you presented as secondary: That you are a creative person. So creating is actually a passion of yours. Now that is a reason I can understand! ;)
Don't get me wrong, I think it's honorable to feel responsible for others and to do what is necessary to support one's loved ones! But if duty is the only purpose in a life then I would call that a wasted opportunity...

Finding out what makes your heart sing, what gives you joy and lets you thrive and to then make it so that others can also benefit from that, so that your actual being contributes to the further development of our species - I think if we all would do that then the world would be a much better place... ;)
In the end the wish to provide for your family probably is already exactly that, but I think shifting the focus on it being a wish and not a duty makes it way more positive. :)

So for me the why is freedom, broadening horizons (mine and maybe even those of others) and actualizing potentials. I want to find out what we humans really need and what we can actually omit. I want to understand the range of answers to this question and how to work with it. I want to see how this technology here can help me doing this (and by that also understanding a new system, cause I really like figuering out these kinds of things, especially if there's such a hype around it like there is around blockchain... ;))

I want to open other people's eyes that hustling is not the way, flowing is... <3
And I hope that I'll be able to make videos that bring that point across in a most effective, understandable, reasonable yet capturing way! :)

Thanks for the amazing comment! Lots to digest.

hello Mr!
i like the videos of your channel thrift shop hustler in youtube. it helps me a lot to know things about steemit and dtube. please give me some advice to build up my blogging and video making. thank you very much!

Hey, Thanks for watching on YT. I would say, just create content and share with a community! Good luck.

What a great question. I will have to ponder that for a while. Thanks for making me think

Thank you, please check back in!

I am driven in life by three things: 1) to live a God honouring life, 2) to support my family, 3) to do something I can be proud of, aka., something that scratches an itch in me.

I think steemit has a very real potential to serve all three at the same time. First I can spread something meaningful, something genuine, something encouraging and honouring in my posts and through my content curation. Second, I slowly earn some wages here, not big bank but nothing to scoff at. And three, I can write and share my views in a way that hopefully adds value to the platform, helps #growsteemit, and helps make my world a bit better through positive dialogue and sincere, genuine discourse that I try to participate and encourage on this platform.

Thanks man, have an awesome day, be blessed.

It is definitely a great outlet to create and express yourself! Yup, my why is the reason i get up everyday to fight for the dream ya know!

My why to have joined this platform, is to achieve my dream, which is FOOTBALL. And i know this is achievable with this community
