Drop the Expectation - Play for Real.

I've had a tendency to think too much.

Wasting my time on trivial bullshit.

It's been a real process journey to recovery. To in fact stop myself from participating in bullshit.

There's lots of ways to describe the shit of a bull.

Steemit doesn't owe you shit.

@denmarkguy gets a shout out.

He gave me a few really great comments on my post, "STEEM ECOSYSTEM - WHY IT WORKS - EXISTENTIAL THINKING AT PLAY"

Seems to me that what we have here is really an extraordinary opportunity, and with the exception of a few problematic pockets here and there, the self-governing system here works pretty well.

Perhaps the important thing for most of us-- including the many newcomers-- is to check in with ourselves and have a look at our expectations. Seriously? We were not offered a "job" here so nobody "owes" anyone an income. This is not a "job," it's an opportunity.

I love the fact that most of what we do here is really rooted in the greater idea of a "Gift Economy" and what we do is basically live by a system of paying it forward to others.

@randykrafft had a strong follow up play - and dropped some heavy common sense - the kind where you're like, "damn that's deep shit dude."

Indeed we have an extraordinary opportunity here @worldclassplayer...
Thing is, Everyone knows Something that some other people Don't know.... And, Each one has their own perspective on Everything.... No two people will or can see Anything alike, as we can only see with our Own eyes, and interpret What we see based on Our experiences, education, environment and programming we got from our parents... The fact that people even agree sometimes does not, and cannot, mean that they think the Exact same thing about Anything...
That's not hard to understand if one really Looks at it...

The Golden Rule makes more sense Here than on any social media site ever created....
Treat Others the way You want to be Treated. It's really that simple....That Includes, btw - Putting Yourself in Their Shoes - in the shoes of the other person... That means, trying to see things from Their perspective...
Effective communication and collaboration can then commence...

The Dude @randykrafft dropped a heavy content creation that's undervalued - perhaps it's the lack of picture - but it's a big picture deep definition writing to the very core of your Being.

SUGGESTION - Ready Randy's Post.

It wasn't all that long ago I don't think I could have handled self-reflecting on a post of that magnitude. Randy brings the heavy down to earth with a structured style to simplicity that is brilliant.

Steemit doesn't owe You Shit

This is true - so I am taking the time to share a little credit - giving shout out's to some of the creator's here that are really sharing meaning in their words.

Shared words is real good shit - when it's real.
That's the secret.
