Ok, we will be talking about success and been successful today...
A bulk of the time, we often mistake monetary value for being successful of course it is good to always want to make money, but it is better to be fulfilled as that gives an in depth meaning as yo what Success really means... My role model @surpassinggoogle has rightly said and I quote;
Well, according to me: success in this case, is more about fulfillment than SBDs!!!
How true right?? What is only constant is that you might have have taken your time to write out a long post all night and then discover that the post has only been able to earn you little cents and so you tend to feel like you are not doing it right or something is wrong?? A bulk of the time that I have felt like that but overtime I have been able to realise that I am even more blessed and successful because I don't know the number of people that the supposed write up might have blessed...
Truth is a bitter pill that we all have to swallow one way or the other and this leads me to this
You only fail when you stop trying...
How true this is, it is of course only when you give it up that its all over... And yes, it is true that it is not over until it is over. Permit me to quote a Yoruba adage that says:
Adiye ti o Ku shi ma he agbado which means a hen that is still alive can still eat corn
What I am trying to say in essence is that when you don't stop trying or give up, you will definitely achieve desired result, but either ways, the lives of people that you are able to touch is indeed an achievement and it is a huge success...
Terry critically examined @stellabelle entry in the untalented contest and the part that caught my attention most was the PRICELESS advice that he gave her... Ok let me quote the advice verbatim:
So here is my advice:
Do what you already do! But, there is more......
In my case; i am very staunch in my vision. Over time you learn to tame even emotions and be in control of it. This helps you not to get "swayed and diverted" in your vision. Especially, when your vision is good & great, you need to be staunch/solid.
Of course this is the best advice anyone can get from anybody, you will agree with him that emotions a times makes us give it up, but when you try as much as you can to put your emotions aside and face reality and then come out solid, you will achieve even more than you can imagine.
If we are able to tame our emotions or rather control it we will discover that this helps us to stay in track or rather stay focused towards achieving our dreams.
So what if you fail today, who says you won't achieve it tomorrow?? Is it a failed marriage?? Or a failed relationship?? Is yours a job search or a shattered dream??
pick yourself together and move on, don't ever be afraid of starting over again
self-confidence goes a long way and plays a vital role in how you see yourself and to the level of confidence you have in yourself... You need to be confident about yourself first and I tell you, the sky Is only a starting point..
You know, I was having a chat with @dante31 yesterday morning and he said something that caught my attention:
Sometimes you will write and you will be surprised, I once write a story of about 2000 words or more. Earned about 68 cents, So don't worry much about the earnings... if it comes fine if it doesn't no wahala
This coupled with Terry's advice to @stellabelle has made me realise that success is not just measured in monetary terms, what about the people I am ministering to with that my supposed article?
And this leads me to:
@steemgigs appears like it is out to disrupt fiver but beyond that, it was out to direct people into the art of creating dreams and visions too. Also, it was one "idea",through which all of my other ideas can go through...
This is @surpassinggoogle talking, I am sure few of us took part in the previous untalented contest because the contest had over 200entries and I tell you, each and every entry was touching and terry gave lots of people hope to live again...
If you didnt take part, start considering writing already, but then another untalented contest will be up soon #winks...
But in the main time, you can go over This set of entries
That terry has been able to compile and responded to and see that really, giving up is not an option...
Thank you so much for your time!!!
Its not over until it is over. Can't wait

You nailed it @ambmichael!
We must know our goal in every activities we will do and through this goal, identify way to achieve that goal. It is important that we are happy and content on what we are doing.
We cant take out that material thing is important to us but it does not define the real meaning of success. It is just part of it.
Being successful is a state of being happy and content. There are wealthy individuals but were not happy and always wanting for more.
Nice article @ambmichael for your indepth explaination for the real meaning of success.
I extend my thanks to @surpassinggoogle for always there to motivate us and never failed to support us esp the newbies. Maraming salamat po :)

Materialists would wanna argue with you.
But truth is, I have come to realize that the problem that comes to man is always commensurate with their status(this is my view though).
big man big trouble they say.
You have written well. @ambmicheal

This is really deep. I hope people would be able to differentiate material wealth from what success really means. Material wealth is good but I am of the notion that happiness is the real definer of success. Nice post and I also wish to make @surpassinggoogle a role model. He brims with wisdom always.

Thanks @ambmicheal for this. I must say I always look forward to your posts now and I'm glad you joined us @airhawk-project, thanks to @spotlight ...lol... You have this below:
For me, as much as I don't get people to put money on my quality post, my next issue is usually the number of views the post got. If I was able to reach out to an audience,i just postpone the earning for another day and maybe use @minnowbooster to boost my earning ego; at least, my post won't be cents again. But of cause ,not with plans to always be just little cents all month long. We can only pray to get support so we can do more of what we wish to do; encourage our content (quality) makers.

Be whale bro. There wasn't booster or anything when i started. Be your audience. Marvel yourself. Create illusions and make this illusions count. What if you are the only one in the world, wont you create legacies and leave them, just incase someone falls from mars, at least so they know you were here on Earth.
Naija boys are tougher than this. You can shake steem with just you. Develop yourself, best version of yourself and it is a gift to humanity everytime.

A great post. You know as I read this post, I said to myself 'that's me' he is talking about. As a poet, I have been on steemit for 2 months now and most times the pay out is really nothing but what spurs me on is that I am doing what I love doing and reaching out to as many as would find meaning in my kind of poetry. So passion is what drives me 100%.

The truth is some of us got to learn about Steemit as a way to make quick money and they showed us the posts of whales who were earning about $100 per post only to get discouraged that the AWESOME post we made only gathered some few cents.
But, in the long run, we'll discover that it's more than just the money, it's an unleashing of the genius inside you in black and white. We get to express ourselves like we've never done before and if we make few cents for that, then so be it.

Exactly, it happens like that most of the time, but then, what do we get from posting same article on facebook or even some blogsite that are not adsense approved...
I love the fact that steemit rewards people for their passion, the number of people we are reaching out to alone speaks volume since we wont have to start looking for audience...
Just do your thing and you are sure going to be rewarded directly or indirectly..
Thanks for your time
