RE: How Steemit Can Change the World! Stellabelle's Contest.
Teaching people how to make their own money in a sustainable way is better than feeding them food you bought. If we do this, we can get rid of poverty. I believe it is possible. People's minds come alive for maybe the first time since childhood. That is the gift of Steem. It's perhaps too great for most to comprehend. We can do this.
I'm already in motion. Your contest has lit a firecracker in my psyche - and after entering your contest, I thought. "hmmm, this is a killer idea. I've been trying to find a way for people to incorporate their signs with their talents. There is no reason why I can't run with this!"
So, I'm cooking 60lbs of awesome Swedish meatballs along with veggies and all the fixings this Wednesday, and it's a perfect time to begin having conversations and gathering ideas on how to launch this initiative using Steemit.
This simply adds the "value piece" of educating them so they can supplement whatever meager income they may receive. Many of the people I feed have full time jobs, some even have housing, but not quite enough money left to put food in their kids bellies. (I myself have experienced tough times, so it really hits home with me.)
They have a story to tell, they have a talent, they have something to offer society - and I've been placed at this intersection of ideas to see if I can put something together. This is truly going to be the coolest thing I have done yet!
I'm really starting to gain some momentum. I'll keep you posted - and thanks so much for inspiring this line of thinking @stellabelle. I love rabbit holes that lead to someplace fun...don't you?
