OCD DAILY - Issue #251

Welcome to the 251st issue of @OCD Daily!

Issue #251 highlights content from ten (10) Steemit Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steemit to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.

Today our curators found ten new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are created by newer Steemit users, that may not have the audience with which to share their quality content. @OCD strives to help provide that audience, and intends to showcase Steemit users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.

The @OCD nomination process

A curator will FIND a piece of work (typically from newer users). Within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @OCD team, curator votes are tallied, and the pieces with the most votes are included in the compilation.

We encourage you to visit these blogs and show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

If you enjoyed their work, give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!

All of the content as chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is seen as universally appreciated and valued making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.

Made infamous in the James Bond movie 'For Your Eyes Only', the Holy Trinity Monastery in Greece sits atop stunning natural features. @marymik23 guides us around and presents beautiful photos in this post.

We all like to stay motivated, to strive for our goals through careful planning and research. What happens though when the inevitable doubts creep along and drag us down? At some point we are all vulnerable, but it's not a weakness. @kchitrah explains how to embrace it in this thought provoking post.
