Everything you do
and
everything you don't do
has consequences!

You have choices.

Look at the negative.
Look for the negative.
You will find negative.
- Look at the positive.

"All successful people are big dreamers.
They imagine what their future could be,
ideal in every respect,
and then they work everyday toward
their distant vision, that goal or purpose."
--- Brian Tracy

Do you have a dream?
Where do you see yourself next week?
...next month?
...next year?
...5 years down the road?
...???

The question you must ask yourself,
If I keep doing what I'm doing, will I be happy where I end up?

If you eat what you've been eating
If you keep (not) exercising like you've been (not) exercising
If you keep drinking, smoking, whatever... like you've been ....whatever...
- How does your future look?
  - Everything you do
    and everything you don't do
    has consequences.
If you work like you've been working
If you spend like you've been spending
If you save like you've been HODLing
If you Steemit like you've been Steemiting
- How does your future look?
  - Everything you do
    and everything you don't do
    has consequences.

There's one more thing to think about.

We all know people who ate the right things,
exercised,
didn't smoke or drink
and their health still ended up poor.
- We all know people who work hard,
  save for a rainy day,
  seize opportunities as they come along
  and they still end up dead broke.
  - Sometimes life's not fair.
    If anyone ever told you life is fair,
    they lied.
Sometimes you can do all the right things and still fail.
- Does that mean you shouldn't even try?
  - Only if you want to be guaranteed to fail.
Sometimes people do all the wrong things
- and their life still ends up smelling like roses.
  - Sometimes people just get lucky.
    True statement.
    They were in the right place at the right time and ... lucky them, right?
I'm 59 years old.
- One thing I've noticed about life being fair...
  - Most of the time
    The harder one works
    The "luckier" one becomes!

Let's apply some of this thinking to Steemit...

You could end up working your butt off and Steemit flops.
Would that be the end of the world?
Not really.
You developed some winning habits
you developed some skills (writing, photography, people skills, getalong skills ... )
that will help you take advantage of the next big opportunity.
- You could back off and if Steemit "makes it to the moon,"
  you will spend the rest of your life saying...
  I coulda
  I shoulda
  I woulda
  ...
  If only I'da ...
  - You could work your butt off here on Steemit
    maybe invest some spare change here and there
    definitely invest your time
    and
    Steem could take off toda moon.
    and you will spend the rest of your life saying
    I knew I could
    I knew I should
    I did it
    I'm glad I did it
    I was in the right place at the right time
    ~~I sure did get lucky~~ I worked my butt off
    Life is good.

But what about the ______fill in the blank______?

or the ______fill in the blank______?
- Didn't you hear ______fill in the blank______?
  - ______fill in the blank______ is powering down!
- ______fill in the blank______ is ______fill in the blank______!
Why are you focusing on the negative?
