You just have to admit it
There are days when you just feel like blogging is a chore, you wake up and you just feel uninspired and you just don't know what to talk about
So you log in and just find yourself going through the motions feeling sluggish and dull
This will always show in your writing and your most avid readers will know something is wrong, I have found out that it is on days like that i get the least comments
So I asked myself : How can I become more creative with my blog?
I knew that finding an answer to this question will be of great value to me and also my audience, so after much work and searching, I am going to talk about infusing creativity in your blog today
So today we are going to be learning from the ones who seems to get it right all the time, I am talking about artists, and when I say artist I also mean food bloggers like 
, the pictures of his dishes always leave me rushing to the kitchen
Creativity is defined as the process bringing new and imaginative ideas to reality, it requires a huge dose of passion and commitment, but before I go further i want to state an obvious fact, over the months, Steemit has turned out to be a true social media platform so you need to socialize in order to get maximum earnings on your work
But also you need to keep in mind that you are building a personal brand and authority and that is what money can't buy, at the end of the day it is not the person with the highest earnings that will be well known, it is the person who will be able to inspire and build up people in his niche
Apart from online earnings Steemit brings a lot of offline opportunities and it is only those who build a brand authority that will reap the offline rewards, I am going to be talking about this as the time goes by, so pay close attention to this series
Back to the matter at hand, they are a lot of qualities and factors that ensure creativity, most of this qualities are intrinsic but this does not mean you cannot develop them, while some are quite obvious. Principles are universal and apply everywhere no matter what you do
Happiness
Artists have great interest in what they do and it brings them a great level of enjoyment, they have great love for their work and if you have that as a Minnow, it will make you survive the period of low payouts you will experience while working on your personal brand
So I ask you, How well did you enjoy your last blog post?. What did your readers have to say after reading it?
Happiness can be achieved when you find a scope in your niche that you truly enjoy writing about and helping others to get a clear picture of it. Learn more about that particular area and blog more about it, you will be happy and your readers will be too
Happiness comes when you know that you are making a positive contribution to the world, bring out a sheet of paper and write out why you feel that your blog should exist, pin it where you can constantly see it to give yourself a sense of a bigger picture
It will bring you a level of happiness and motivation as the days go by, blogging is a long journey and on some days you might want to give up, but doing what makes you happy will keep you active on this platform
Liberty
One of the greatest strenght of the Blockchain is the liberty it provides and that it manifested on Steemit with the absence of Censorship
The freedom of expression is one of the greatest strenghts artist possess, imagine someone trying to dictate to Da Vinci or Picasso how their artwork should look, as a writer you have to know that holding that pen gives you a chance to play god and that is something you should cherish
So stop pumping out boring content and inspire steemians around the world with your work
The presence of Liberty on Steemit is what gives Steemains the ability to think as if there is no box (not outside) and make them bring everyone enormous value to everyone who listen to what they have to say
Some have abused this though, I have being seeing complains on 
"s wall that some Steemians have turned dtube to a porn playing ground, this behaviour will not get you anywhere, abusing Liberty is bad and only soils your name
Humility
This simply means being teachable, you have to adopt an open mindset, make your brain open source
Know when something is not working out, listen to your audience so that you will know how to serve them better. Alwasys be curious and try new things. Risk taking is a form of humility, because it shows you know that you are willing to push yourself to be better
This will also break the perception that you can only blog on some particular topics or from a particular angle, don't be too comfortable with a particular approach
Humility creates a desire in you to slove problems through different approaches instead of stubbornly sticking to one, you have a better understanting of this when you come to realise that Steemit is not a place for you to dump quality content
A message doesn't have to be just correct, it has to be current.
