Everything about me in terms of my form (i.e. my characteristics, experiences, thoughts and feelings) changes over time.
<
FORWARD: I initially posted this on Steemit.com when I was 33 years old, and I am now re-publishing it on ChrisRice.blog, my Steem-based blog.
When I was younger, the things I believed were largely influenced by the things I read, and other people (or groups of people) who I thought were wiser, and more knowledgeable than me.
But after 33 years of existing, I have now tested a lot of different ideas & beliefs. My current beliefs are now mostly influenced by the results I got from testing those ideas & beliefs.
Ideas & Beliefs:
Until a person has seriously tested the ideas they express, implemented them to a T, and accumulated a wealth of experience, the foundation for their beliefs, and insight, remains weak.
Testing ideas and beliefs can help people understand themselves, others, and their environment (a.k.a. their surroundings) .
Some things can only be learned through experience, and over a course of many years.
In general, there is an age requirement for someone to truly know what they believe, and for them to know why they believe it, without it being some sort of farce.
At 33 years old, I feel like I have already accumulated a wealth of experience. I acknowledge the fact that there are millions, and millions of people (impossible to estimate) who are older, wiser, and more knowledgable or experienced than me, but I still feel like I have some unique ideas that are experience-tested, and I want to bring them to the table.
Here are two of the things I learned, and wrote about, after 33 years of living:
I didn't know much about life when I was younger, but NOW, I am fairly certain about the things I wrote in those posts. I published them as rough drafts on Steemit, edited them on Steemit, and then published the final drafts on my blog - I hope you enjoy reading them.

I just found out on this post you reblogged that you have another account named @chrisrice.blog.
From HiveBlocks.com, that account's last activity was 30 days ago, then followed by 51 days ago, then 69 days ago onwards. I see that it is autovoting, but the autovoting bot seemed to stop working. That account is not even voting for D.Buzz (@dbuzz) as witness.
I suggest that you delegate all that account's Hive Power and transfer its HIVE/HBD to your personal account @chrisrice or to @dbuzz.
Ahh, let me check the HP 😯
Thank you @savvyplayer😎💪
I see that you have successfully delegated Hive Power from @chrisrice.blog to @dbuzz. However, that account is still not yet voting for @dbuzz as Hive Witness! 😆😅
Lol 😆 Just a bit of HP though but you are right 👍

Maybe you would power up @chrisrice.blog in the future, so you should make that account vote for @dbuzz as Hive Witness as soon as you can remember. 🤔 By the way, 20 HP helps too! 🙂
The @dbuzz account is already voting the @dbuzz account as Witness...
... Right?
Posted via D.Buzz
Yes. However, I don't know why you stated that when I was referring to @chrisrice.blog not yet voting for @dbuzz as Hive Witness. 🤔
P.S. The next account I'd likely Power Up is @emafe (if any) 😀
