Do not try and earn the Steem.
That's impossible. Instead, only realize the truth...
THERE IS NO STEEM.
Then you will see that it not the Steem that bends, it is yourself.
So, while chilling in the #minnowsupportproject Discord room, we started discusssing the dreaded 'Bandwidth low' errors that many people have seen recently. I equated this to a glitch in the matrix... or the Streemtrix, if you will.
This glitch made me consider everyone's attempt to earn Steem, Steem Power and Steem dollars, and how dangerous of a pursuit that can really be. As most people come to realize on Steemit, the value is in the community and the people. It really is a reward based economy that encourages interaction, vulnerability, and a sharing of ones true self.
So, with that in mind, always remember:
There is no steem.
It is only yourself that grows in value.
