Lovely post, at first i joined steemit because of its benefits and being a victim of the economy downfall of my country , i decided to sought means of making a living, i made drastic decisions that didnt only worsen my case but made me go into depression, thank God i came out of it victorious, i was always wallowing in self pity that , i couldn't differentiate between the Good things that i would benefit from, one day a friend told me about steemit, my first three posts werent encouraging i thought maybe i wont make this money, at the long run i began having intelligent discourse with people in steemit, even you @surpassinggoogle , you made me realise one has to be selfless in what you're doing, be 'you' so that people will be attracted to you ie your content. Now i have removed the notion and thoughts of having to make the 'quick cash' but to help others in bettering theirselves in this journey, i can beat my chest , i am proud to be here and to help people know more about steemit and things you can achieve from it apart from the monetry aspect. There is a whole lot to learn from here... Thank You so much, i hope you're getting better?
