CORE QUESTING Episode 1: BEING KNOCKED DOWN ISN'T BEING KNOCKED OUT

I observed too many Steemians like myself who just have almost given up being a Steemian. Ceasing to fight the discouragements and allow it to sneak the hopes of succeeding in this platform. To be on top of the ladder requires two main things: Invest a vast amount of money and be a whale or possess exemplary talent is writing, photography, arts, etc. If you find yourself being somewhere below those, then you might just be giving up sooner or later for there is no such thing as mediocrity in this platform.

When faced with challenges, look for a way, not a way out. -David Weatherford

Well, let me remind you something you might have forgotten, Steemit is worth fighting for. If the platform requires us to be outstanding, then let's be outstanding. It will surely be hard, yet it's harder to settle what we are and where we are at the moment. Let's push ourselves to be better and brighter. Keep in mind that a knocked out isn't a knocked down.

We must accept finite disappointments, but never lose infinite hope. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have engraved significant insights from Hive account@ybanezkim26 and Hive account@itinerantph during the meetups. Once and for all, according to Hive account@ybanezkim26, "Search for your inner core and focus on it." Hive account@itinerantph also added that there is always creativity in us and we just have to let it all out.

That, my friends, are the reasons why I am on a quest of getting to know myself, exploring my entire being and searching for my core. I have faced disappointments about the platform brought by the disappointments I have for myself. May it be due to my inability to take great pictures, incompetent write-ups, unskilled artworks, etc. But then again, every setback is a setup for a comeback (Joel Osteen, 2011).

There is no other way but up!

Shrugging my shoulders and dusting the sorrow, dismay and bitterness off from myself. I can do better than this. I am better than this! A knocked down has taught me various lessons. It's trying to bring out the better version of myself; and a better version of myself won't walk right through my door. I have to quest for it!

May this realization be the first episode of the quest for my core. I still have a long way to go and I do not know where this path leads me. But if not now, when? If not here, where? If I won't do it for myself, then who will?

If you share the same sentiments with me, then let's quest for our core together like no other ;and may the odds, be in our favour.

See you in the next episode!
