Now while I do love steemit and some of the users that I have found on here, there seems to be something missing.
For me it is a sense of purpose or a goal to work towards.
I spend very little time on social media barring Facebook where all my friends exist and to remember birthdays (so handy) and since July, Steemit where I am genuinely excited to be a part of. However while I do dabble in crypto and like computers, I am far from involved in either. My only pastimes are drinking pints and following sports so not much to blog there. I do like books and movies but they are not the most talked about interests on the site.
I love finding new bloggers and people on here with a real passion or interest to follow and learn something new. Since joining the site I have branched into whole new areas of life that I never knew existed before and been introduced to opportunities that most of my friends know nothing about. I start talking about the site or crypto and most lose all interest.
Most not all.
A couple have been persuaded to take a look on steemit and see what its all about.
With all this in mind and a long winter ahead I have decided to challenge myself to turn my account value from $300 ($290 technically) into a value of $3000. Not for the money but for the clear specific goal to work towards. This is a long term goal which will need to be taken on from multiple angles with the time and effort put in.
In the corner of my room I keep a big plastic jar. I do this to throw all my loose change into it. Every cent I find on the ground, in my car, a few euro after a night out. Just keep throwing it into the jar at the end of every day. It had been a busy summer and few months before that too, so the jar had actually turned into a jar and a sweet box. I sat down last week and emptied the whole thing out sorting it for the bank. Just over €900 had accumulated since the last time I had emptied it.
I cant remember when that was but I think around June 2016 for a holiday. 15 months of collecting. That is how I will approach this. Every cent from a good post, a comment, a share sbd post will accumulate in my account, slowly at first but as time goes by I hope it will turn into dollars accumulating.
I will try to post regularly, comment enthusiastically and follow wisely. As I work towards my goal hopefully a few more people will join me on my journey and push themselves a bit more as well. I am hoping as a side effect of my challenge to gather a community of interesting and like minded people who will add a different kind of value to what I am about to start. If it takes a month, a year or a decade I will get to my end goal just through sheer stubbornness and refusal to quit.
To anybody reading this, feel free to comment, follow, advise or challenge. I hope to meet many more interesting people on the site as it grows over the next months.
