The last couple of days have been rough. It seems like every time you start to hit the break even point, you get knocked back down again. It's a never ending cycle. One step forward two steps back. Then here we go again. As long as you get back up and push on progress is made. Only problem with this method is that it takes so long to achieve a goal. It not like we have a choice, because if we did none of us would use that approach for success. We don't want it, pursue it or require it to be in our lives. Yet here we all are. It affects all of use in one form or another.
I don't even know what you call it. Does it even have a name. There are many adjectives that describe it. Poems and books are written about it. Good times, bad times, hard times or that's life and many more. Maybe someone knows., I just call it life and that to is totally wrong outside of any content.
If you are looking for answers, I don't have any. I just accept it the same as the sun will rise in the morning. The weather is in constant change. The world rotates and the world runs on greed. All these things are out of my control and I just accept it as a norm.
Bad things always happen to good people. What one person is capable of doing to another has always gone beyond my understanding. I understand about greed, seeking power and all they reasons people can come up to perform these actions. What I don't get is what type of person would do such a thing. And justify it as a good thing.
The world is changing right in front of our eyes and we don't see it. The speed is like nothing the world has ever seen before. We are so caught up in our ups and downs that we don't want to see it. We are split into fraction, and the good people are sitting it out. On the sideline trying to get their things in order. No different then in the past. Crypto coins are a positive thing. I hope it continues to grow and take hold. It's still too early to tell which way things will go. I do have faith that it will be a life changer for the best.

If you like what I do you can leave a comment with some stars to let me know
Yes, I feel exactly the same way, sometime, I even wrote a couple of songs about the ups and downs in life and those human beings who would do anything for their own gains. And just like you have done writing this article, I've used music to get it out of my chest and make the mood needle swing to the upside.

Bad things happen to good people and vice versa... however the true mark of a good person is in how we deal with the adversities and how we pass on the successes! I'm sure you are a good person and will be able to overcome your current difficulties!

How we deal with adversities shows our character.
I'll be fine, been dealing with this for over a decade. It's a rollercoaster and after a couple times around the track there are no surprises.

Keep your chin up. Whatever is happening now will soon pass. Hold your breath when the water is high and lift your pants leg when it gets lower. Life is hard, but the alternative isnt any sweeter. You're doing good. Love the writes.

The problem with "overnight success" is that it takes years to achieve!
And during those years of unrecognized success, it's normal to feel like a loser. BUT in the end, consistency beats talent everytime.
That's what you have. That's your ace in the hole, my friend...
Excellent piece.
Namaste, Jaichai

I think you meant "our lives", right?

It sucks that life is just that way. It's the only thing we can be sure of. Only thing we have control over is how we react during all the challenges that get thrown our way. Keep the faith in those that have proven to be there for you during the good and bad times. I hope writing this out helped you feel a bit better.

change is coming on the 25th of Sept. Voting power comes from the amount of SP you have. That's why people should power up

hard fork
I know it will change the voting time and curation
With the current blockchain rules, if authors vote for themselves right away, they get their author rewards, plus 100% of the curation rewards from their vote, plus a portion of the curation rewards coming from everyone who votes for the post after them. Any other curator voting at the same time as the author would get 0% of the curation rewards. This gives the author an unfair advantage over other curators, because the author can earn additional curation rewards through self-voting.

Hardfork 20 will change this “lock out” period to a “cool down.” During the last 12 hours of a post or comment payout period, upvotes and downvotes will still be allowed, but their strength (for the same amount of voting power) will decrease linearly from 100% to 0% over that 12-hour period. In other words, it will take twice as much voting power to have the same impact on a post’s payout if the vote is done with only six hours left on the payout window instead of twelve. A downvote cast in the last minute would have virtually no impact.

Hope you feel better getting this out :) I've learned that sh*t happens all of the time; bad things to good people, but a true test of anyone's character is how they deal with it all. It's easy to be kind,good,nice etc when things are going well, but being that way when all hell's breaking loose? That's the sign of a good person :)

Well, I too do not have the answers. I can say I feel we all stand in the same puddle of water, we sip from it, we drown in it. Let's just say, few walls are in place and I will very seldomly lift them off and circumstances are simple because I had the high (wile growing up), hit rock bottom as a young adult... I know how easy circumstances can change... and they can, stay positive, take care of yourself.

We all go through ups and downs.
I am always positive. I have never seen a circumstance that could not be overcome. May take a long time and with sacrifice, but can be overcome.
