Do things ever seem too overwhelming?
The daily struggle to get ahead of the game is real, but so is the success that you are rewarded with along the way. Things can go wrong and things can go right, along with the inevitable wins & losses. When the times are tough, that is when you need to put more focus than ever into your goal. The focus will turn that struggle into a lesson and in turn into a flawless victory.
I notice here especially in Steemit, that there are several different categories of users, the ones who struggle and the ones who have found success. These success cases didn’t happen overnight, you can’t look at payouts and popularity and think that some of these folks have always been the crowned Don Dadas of the Steemit platform, but in reality, I urge you to do this: Go to your favorite Steemit user who is blowing up the space, look at their main page, scroll back, back, back, and then back some more. Tell me what you see… OK I’ll wait, I can tell you what you’ll see. You will see a struggle, indecisiveness, low payouts, and maybe a bit of a broken spirit somewhere in some of those posts. But they didn’t give up, their previous struggle was as real as their current success.
Fast forward to the present day, some will struggle, some won’t, some will quit and some will find success. The key is to define your purposes and to explode them onto the scene, whether it’s Steemit, your community charity organization , or the local YMCA. Get out there and turn those struggles into lessons that teach you what works, what doesn’t and expand on what works to grab some more of that goodness. You will come to realize that success too is as real as the struggle, everyone goes through it, we never graduate from it, we just adapt & transform to different angles of it and pull in successes here and there along the way. There is no ultimate destination of achievement, there is always a ‘just one more’ thing to gravitate to or conquer.
Bust out INSANE value in EVERYTHING that you do, if you walk dogs, or if you run the advertising budget for Heineken Beer, go balls to the wall and turn those struggles into victories, one at a time.
