Thanks @positivesynergy. I must tell you I'm kind of burnt out on Steemit right at the moment. I'm having a hard time keeping any amount of motivation. Perhaps it's just a passing phase. But this doldrum is affecting my interest in any other platform too. My daughter @littlescribe is going to try and do some psycho-steemit therapy on me to reignite my enthusiasm. We'll see if the magic wand she might wave does any good.
I appreciate your kindness in helping me out though. I really do. Part of my failing interest is that we all pretend that what we are doing here has some special meaning and purpose. Maybe it does, but right now it evades me. Sorry for the wet blanket reply.
Hang in there, bro. Maybe you need a break from it all for a bit to rekindle your inspiration. I totally relate, though, Christopher. As I've been feeling a bit similar also. There's been a heavy dose of negativity everywhere lately, such as the crypto markets, the dreary winter rainy weather here where it's supposed to be about to begin summer, the corrupt governmental regulator mania, etc., which all collectively weighs heavily too lately.
Sometimes I think we're having this experience of living in a giant testtube world to ultimately push us to go within meditatively (or prayerfully) to find our true higher self part of God/heaven to then inspire ourselves to ascend from the old world into the new heaven and the new earth (i.e. from Revelations). Many Blessings
Yes, I agree, it seems the world continues to careen from one craziness to another. In such a state the best policy is to seek a spiritual path. I think my biggest problem stems from false expectations on my part...a certain formula for disappointment. So, I'll adjust. And, frankly Big Change is in the air. Of course I may be mistaken. I appreciate your friendship and input. Blessings.
In my view we've gotta keep our eyes focused on our highest dreams... As the saying goes, "If we don't know where we're going, how will we now when we get there." or "If we aim for nothing, we're sure to get it." LOL Lots of laughter and enjoying the ride/journey along the way helps as well... Have a great weekend, my friend
BTW, I saw the headlines EOS voters have elected the 21 witnesses and is now running full steam ahead on the mainnet as fully decentralized. I expect their newer improved (anti-whale) version of steemit to roll out in the near future now. It went from +/- $9.50 a day or so ago to 11.11 this morning, which I read as an interesting number sign, given we are in an 11 year and I have my eye on both 9-11 and 11-11-11 (Nov. 11) to have something significant take place towards "change". Many Blessings
So you are saying that Steemit II is actually going to be a reality, soon?
Time will tell... I don't think it will be called steemit II though, given the super negative way Ned reacted several weeks ago in S. Korea in reply to a question at the end and the way he downvoted Dan just for his post on EOS several months before...
