Thank You, Steemian Supporters

I am writing this post today not to pat myself on the back but to share with you my vision of steemit. Also the 5 steemians I chose to support with more than 66.6% of my total Steem Power since I have joined the platform. And I have given away probably every SBD I have earned either in a contest or to the vote bot's to raise awareness of my contest or to vote other users to give them a boost.

I am here just like many of you in the hopes that one day Steemit can be a full time job and we can all interact and support each other. If we are honest with ourselves the basic concept of steemit has been lost. We have minnows fighting to support minnows, whales supporting whales and scammers supporting scammers. Thus is the circle jerk of life on steemit

I don't ask people to resteem my post to enter my contest, require them to upvote my post to win or that they follow me. I'm running a contest, I am not buying forced followers. I am not spamming comments. I try to interact with a large diverse group. I plan to continue lending my steem out personally and won't sell it to a bid bot as they have a habit of dropping spam links into the post of people who received votes with links to other items and it is down right garbage spam post promotion. I am not giving anything to people who DM or message me. I am not looking to be a charity hand out. I picked my delegations based on simple factors.

1.) Is the person adding something to steemit

2.) Are they building their account

3.) Are they spreading their votes out

4.) Do they interact

5.) Are they my wife

6.) Are they getting deserved support

7.) Do they seem like good humans

Everyone should look for these things in those they delegate to, except #5 as she is my wife only

I don't think people need over 500 SP delegated to them in order to help them grow, the ability to cast more votes is all they need.

These are the 5 people I delegated to in February, 5 people who now have sliders who did not before the delegation.

I challenge anyone to find fault with an account I picked, check each user out and let me know if I missed something

It is very easy to delegate in under 3 minutes on Steemworld.org and even faster to undelegate someone abusing their delegation, so if you are here for the community and believe steemit stands for what I do, gift a good creator a slider if you can.

Thank You

I just love the fact we share such a strong view on life, for the most part

So there you have my choices for February, I will be searching for new people as I rebuild my steem power. I will also be holding more contest that anyone can win without having to do anything for me

I once again challenge any and all of you to delegate a little love out to a minnow you find
