Carefully make out time to see how the fleas behave, you train fleas by putting them in a jar with a top on it. You will notice the fleas jump, so they will jump up and hit the top over and over again. As you watch them jump and hit the top, you will notice something interesting. The fleas continue to jump, but they are no longer jumping high enough to hit the top.
Then, and it's a matter of record, you can take the top off and though the fleas continue to jump, they won't jump out of the jar. I repeat, they won't jump out because they can't. The reason is simple. They have conditioned themselves to jump just so high. Once they have conditioned themselves to jump just so high, that's all they can do.
Many times, people do the same thing, you've heard about the great reward the steem block chain has installed for it's members, and you come in with all enthusiasm and you get disappointed when you don't see the results you expected.
Am not saying there's something wrong in being enthusiastic, i stumbled upon an introductory post of a minnow and she said "To hell with job hunting, now that she's on steemit". Well for me that a good energy but wrong choice of words.
Steemit is not a get rich scheme community, it's a community that rewards your contributions to its growth.
A whole lot of new members come in with so much energy and high expectations, and when this expectations don't manifest immediately, some tend to restrict themselves but allowing frustration to set in thereby not allowing them to reach their full potentials.
When you realise your effort is not yielding results as you anticipated, you don't need to be weary or like the fleas stop jumping higher, it simply means you need to jump even higher, reevaluate what you are doing and aim higher.
There are so much blessings stored up in the future of the steem block chain, and onlt those that will persist and stay now will enjoy it.
Do have a lovely day.
