It is true that nothing that lasts long or has true value comes easy. Indeed Rome was not built in a day and if you ever build a "Rome" you should be thankful to those who built it along with you and be empathetic to those who comprise the empire, recognizing their efforts that makes stand, what you call your empire.
I joined steemit not too long ago and although my blog has not exactly been top-notch I have received so much encouragement and Love and for this I am grateful.
"He who is thankful in little things will be thankful in much but he who is not thankful in little things does not really mean the thanks he gives when he receives much". This is the way i see this following i have gotten in less than a month; Like a new church of 100 members and if you think of it, that's a lot! And although your messages may not strike a nerve every sunday they still come to church. Maybe not because of you or your messages but because of the Love that abounds in that church and the relationships between fellow members.
Also, a full church does not necessarily mean they all were interested in your message. Sometimes when the church is not as filled up as you want it to be, you get more appreciation than you expected to be.
I started steemit with posts which received little or no votes. Honestly I
I'd say I was disappointed. Not by the rewards that came along with it but by the number of votes it attracted. I thought the post would actually amass a whole lot of votes and get me known, but it didn't.
I was disappointed, sure, but had not relented. So I humbly continued to post from the little mental resources i have and now I have a "100 church members" who actually kind of find my posts interesting and expect more from me. This really encourages me. THANK YOU!
I do not owe this hundred following solely to how interesting my post is or has been but also to the communities I belong to. Some of these are Peace, Abundance and Liberty, ADSactly, STEEM NIGERIA, Techstudio18, Minnow-power all on DISCORD. Also on steemit chat, the general chat room, where i have met some awesome persons with awesome personalities, nigeria-chat room, steemSTEM e.t.c
Aware that I have at least a 100 audience makes me want to put more efforts in my work and create posts of higher value for the community.
This I promise to do!
Stay cool!
