As soon as I came to know about Steemit, it kind of fueled the flickering flame into an enormous fire. It gave me hope, being a writer.
Creativity needs to be valued to maintain and promote creativity in the future. I just find people finding new ways to earn money and live by it, essentially losing the juice of life. We aren't even with ourselves when we are busy figuring out to be a millionaire to eventually enjoy life.
Let me take you on a ride through this post.
Imagine (my favorite word) that you worked day and night, losing the sight of all that you are, for the next 6 months and congratulations, you did achieve what you aimed for i.e. to become a millionaire. Yes, now you won't have to work to earn for your entire life no matter how much you spend. Isn't that what we all want? Doing something smart for a short period that helps you earn so much money that you never have to worry about it forever.
So now, when you've all the money in the world, you start doing that which pleases you, satisfies you, makes you think that it makes you happy. Girls, partying, sex, raves, travelling, buying mansions, yachts and cars - everything you can think of, you get it. Now you're in your 30's-40's or even older, would these things suffice you? Would they really fill the void you sense always? I'm sure you definitely said yes to it but honestly, when you go through it all, you'll end up relaxing all the time, drinking and diverting your attention and that'll become your definition of happiness and you'll no longer be you. The world is designed in such a way that in the process of earning a luxurious living which we all want to suffice all that we crave for, we completely lose ourselves without even realizing or remembering what we lost. We eventually start living to spend life.
Do you know, we are solar organisms i.e. life forms existent due to sun light (all life within the solar system are solar organisms). We are indeed a part of the solar system. We exist due to light which makes me think that we've been underestimating sun light a lot i.e. it not only makes things visible, delivers heat energy and helps us generate power and the trees food, it essentially gives us existence and intelligence and makes us similar to superman - we've not only lost the potential we've, that can be developed in one life, we also have lost the sight to it because we're all dragged into the system which we all have a feeling that we don't fit in & essentially we're all helpless which again proves that we're all slaves. Science fiction movies and the craziest fantasy novels are all the creation of a 'human' brain's imagination where as the Universe we live in is the creation of the creator's imagination which definitely surpasses us all.
Which is the most advanced and unexplored technology since the time of creation? We live in the 21st century thinking that we've advanced technologically but we fail to see the technology that helped us create all of this technology i.e. the human body. Everything on earth, every advanced form of technology was created by human being right? Doesn't that make 'human-being' the most advanced technology whose potential is yet undefined? Instead of even attempting to define this potential, we're engulfed in the process of losing the potential we've developed so far and we are not evolving as of now. We live on a planet and we are the part of the nature but we are making a human world within the natural world which is literally consuming the natural world inside out! Instead of living like co-creators we are living like cancers. What happens to the cancer cells when the entire tissue is consumed, they die because they no longer have anything to survive on.
Honestly, it's never too late. Instead of dreaming to be happy tomorrow by imagining all that you'll do tomorrow which will help you to gain what you crave for, be happy today. Work with no expectation but being completely present and happy. Stay in the system but do what you aren't yet aware of yourself. The best way to change a system/cycle is by being a part of it and yet maintaining your originality, it's the cycle that eventually adapts to you and not the opposite. Instead of adapting, fight, survive against all odds, because the odds of you being born were one in a million sperms, so you already are born with immense luck. Do what makes you legitimately feel good and never compromise to what shatters your truth.
Power of brain is something that is functional at 2% right now and that too under appropriate circumstances, let's boost it.
Steemit gives me hope to keep my creativity, an essential part of my nature, alive while living in the cycle of an invisible slavery which we are all enslaved to. The first thing I'll teach my kid, if I ever have one, is self-sustainability and if I'm unable to do that, I'll at least teach him to learn to do that. Self-sustainability is the only platform where the train to evolution arrives.
Much love.
