Hi my friend, welcome back to another video with myself, 
Have you ever felt down, depressed, or frustrated when you look at others content on 
Have you experienced a sense of jealousy, or perhaps even anger, upon the sight of someone else succeeding when you are not succeeding to the level you want to be?
I bring this up because I am right there with you. I've been there. It is a natural human tendency to have these feelings. One of the reasons why you might be experiencing them is because you are dedicated and passionate about what you do and you want to see results.
This isn't in the video, but I think back to when my wife and I were trying for our first child. It took around 3 years for us to conceive. Meanwhile, my wife felt depressed, frustrated, angry, and would feel jealous at the site of another close friend getting pregnant when she was not.
The reason these feelings came up for her, was because she was so passionate and determined to have a child, that the mere idea of someone else having one before her was like a thorn in her side.
I imagine it is the same for you. You love what you do and want to make your mark on the Steem community. But jealousy and rage are not the emotions you want to foster.
Great, Ken. So how do I overcome these feelings?
Here's the cure...
Understand, that the emotions you are harvesting right now are negative. But, the positive thing about them is that they create a strong energy inside of you.
What we need to do now, is to take that energy, and transform it into positive energy.
To apply that practically, pay attention to the following advice. The next time you start to think that thought and feel that feeling of jealousy towards another Steemian, I want you to immediately turn that energy around and bless that person.
Blessing that person can be in the form of an upvote, a comment, a resteem, or a congratulatory message on Discord.
Or, if you want to take it a step further, you can actually create a post, recognizing that person and lifting them up to your audience.
You might be thinking...but Ken, I don't feel like doing that when I see others succeeding.
I know you don't, neither do I. But, the sooner you turn those negative feelings around, instead of letting them fester, the easier it is to proceed with the positive action.
What are the results of doing this?
The best result of all, is that you will be free from the negative emotion that can not only halt your progress, but could stop you dead in your tracks. This will allow you to then explode your blog with top-notch content that will blow your followers away.
The other result is that you edify another Steemian, as well as build connections with them and their audience. You honestly never know what could result from one tiny random act of kindness.
Keep in mind, there is more than enough Steem to go around. There is no shortage of success, and there is no shortage of Steem. Keep doing what you are doing by pumping out incredible content, and watch what happens.
I'm so glad to be on this journey with you and can't wait to hear what you think about this topic.
Leave your comments below and let's keep this conversation flowing.
Love you friend, can't wait to see you again. Until next time, remember...YOU ARE STILL AWESOME!
-Ken
