Part of my weekly routine is to spend Saturdays in my home office, without a single piece of technology around me.
No computers.
No cell phones.
No business.
Instead I grab a book and spend the entire day deep in it..
Yesterday was no different...
I was reading a fascinating book by Mitch Kruse called 'Street Smarts from Proverbs', was about a third of the way through it and then this quote jumped out at me...
Let me break down why this quote is so important and impactful for people in today's day and age.
First up, we seem to be in competition...With everyone around us.
We're consistently comparing ourselves to not only our competitors but even people in our own circles...
If someone had 5 bucks, we want 6.
If someone has a 2000 square foot home, we want the 2100 square feet one.
Someone gets a raise from their job, we want a bigger one than them!
It's sadly part of the human experience, and 'wanting more' is not on the surface a bad thing, I believe in getting better and wanting more from ourselves every day. But when we forget how good we have it, and count our blessings daily...Bad things start to pop up.
So this quote reminded me...
Sure you may not have 5000 STEEM Power. You may only have 30 followers. You may just be starting and have a reputation of 25.... BLOOM regardless!
You are dealt a set of cards in life. Some people have a better hand but to excel in any endeavour I think we need to master the cards we are dealt.
I mentioned this in a previous post about finding your 3 vital functions and this quote plays directly to the point I made in the post...
You might have been dealt the hand that allows you to create amazing video content on 
Maybe you have some insane skills at gaming and love to stream - Bloom 
Perhaps all that technology is above your head and simply LOVE to create content in the form of writing - Bloom here on Steemit!
Not matter where you are planted - Focus and be the BEST you can be at your given circumstances and skill set.
You wanna know why?
The more you focus on what you are amazing at and work on it consistently, you WILL get better! You WILL start to have the universe work in your favor and big things are on your horizon.
Hey I'm no expert so take what I write with a grain of salt...However I think Napoloen Hill said it best...
"Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success..."
And when you have the patience, persistence and perspiration focused on where you are...Right now...You will master your craft and get better each and every day!
