I agree if you focus primarily on the spiritual aspect, then the material is inevitable to come.

Whoa.. That is a great point. :)

Probably the right Path as well.

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 agree with u @shellany thats what I also told with my people to "Mine your Mind" Steemit is a Mining of Mine.Everyday Im mining my mind here from other posts and apply to my self then I see the possitive changes from steemit mine mining.

Been following this two wonderful steemit members for a while and say thank you both for your service on good contents @surpassinggoogle and @stellabelle. I just finished reading a inspiration post from @surpassinggoogle as that was not enough this your post is mind blowing. Thanks for this information.

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.

you can watch my challenge @demostene

Great Post, @demostene!
I am a bit older now and have overcome that same challenge.
I will now follow you, you seem like a very interesting fellow!
I also had a band, as another common thread... ;)

Thank you for the follow @underground. What kind of music are you into?

We played hard rock, metal, etc...
That was long ago but I still listen and like some of today's
better stuff :D

Cool, we're playing alternative metal with grunge influences (or at least we like to call it that way :D)

btw, I followed the inspiration that this post gave me, so I wrote another article: https://steemit.com/story/@demostene/growing-up-in-romania-1-the-ice-cream-that-shaped-how-i-see-life-journal

Enjoy

I will check it @demostene!
Do you have any of your music on youtube?

This was a very good post, a good learning. The comments are insightful, and you mentioned my favorite author @greenrun. He is awesome. I dropped a remark to @rafefurst to come by and read your post, and the comments to give him a view of a different aspect of steemit for his upcoming Tedx talk.

Hello @stellabelle! This is a very interesting point of view. That's amazing how you discover those talented new comers in steemit. Amazingly written and like in steem like in life, being true to self takes us to fulfillment and might be some kind of rehab on its own to grow bigger and better. Cannot wait for your Mining with Our Minds community!!

Yes @stellabelle you are absolutely right. In fact my thinking capacity and my ability to constract sentences plus my imagination are start to failling 3 years ago. But now, in just a week or two my mind comes alive again. Steemit restart my brain thinking capacity and my writing skills get better and better everyday. But still there are some point I had nothing to write. I don't know, I think I am still in adoption level at the very start.

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!

Mining is not limited to electronic computer power, we often forget that our brains are more powerful than any existing computer. It is capable of things AI researchers struggle to map or simulate. Keep on Steeming :)

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.
