RE: Tip for New Steemit Writers

in #steemit7 years ago

Great post.

A lot of people are looking for instant rewards.

But there might be a deeper reason, too: fear.

Fear of many things, like wasting time or money on something... What if it doesn't work out for me? What if I get my hopes up, and I'll never make more than a few cents? Who can give me security? Who can tell me with absolutely certainty that I can make it?

Nobody...

So they try out a couple of things and then jump to the next bright shiny object that promises instant riches.

I'm a victim of that doubt myself to a degree. What if I should rather be doing something else than reading, commenting, and writing on Steemit?

But well... We must take a chance sometimes, right? I go with my gut feeling. I go where my heart takes me, and I'm elated to be here.

Thank you for your post.1527666.jpg

To succeed, you have to take chances sometimes.

I'm thankful I took a chance on Steemit :)

Listen to your instincts- they will never lie to you...

That is so true.

Whenever I listened to reason and my intuition warned me about something, I always ended up regretting it. That taught me to be better at listening to my instincts instead.
