My Next Moves

in #mynextmoves6 years ago (edited)

A great initiative called #MapOutYourNextMove was launch a month ago. This initiative aims to simplify steemit for newcomers by helping them define what they can write consistently instead of focusing more on the system and its profitable side. This is definitely a great series that every newcomers, planktons, and a minnow like me should see, so we can all survive the hard beginning of our lives here on steemit. This model will give you direction and a clearer goal of who you are, who will you become on this platform and an opportunity to showcase what you can offer. There are activities and questions that you can try for yourself. This is fruitful and it's free for everybody, kudos to @tressareid for this amazing initiative. It is definitely worth reading. Check out the introduction HERE

So here I am, sharing steemit community of what they can expect from me after I had a clearer reflection of myself and fortified my mission & vision. I realized that I was actually doing this unconsciously. HERE I already answered this question

"Visualize that you have everything you need. Life is good. You are financially free. But you still want to work, to be of service and provide value in the world. What would you spend your time doing and in what ways would you spend that time?"

If you hate clicking away, then okay here's a quick summary of my why and what I'm about to offer.

I'm in the Philippines, I was born during the woes, during the time of major reform in our constitution from a long regime, this trend in our country changed everything, is it for better or for worse? It is a long and broad topic to discuss but I would like to write something about it someday. Failed government after another is part of my upbringing which resulted in a wider range of poverty in our country. Insight about the current situation in our country is what I think I can offer, something I can talk for hours. I envision a better status of my country by way of exposing wrong traditions, wrong traits, wrong beliefs and bad characters that we unconsciously inherit. This may sound too ambitious and as a matter of fact, I really think that my friends will laugh at me once they hear that I'm talking like this but it's okay since my patriotism is so strong I decided to pursue this path anyway. I believe that a better country starts with a better mindset of its citizen. I would like to attract like-minded people which will make this desire stronger but there's a problem, I doubt if there's anyone who will listen to me because I myself is a failure and there's a lot of aspects in my life that needs massive change and improvements still.

This is how I come up with my goal and mission, I didn't get any proper guidance on how to flip this life around and this is what I am so hungry for #selfimprovement #selfhelp #motivation is what drives me and make me feel so excited waking up every day. "to give hope, to give encouragement and to let people know that there's a paradigm in success; it's being taught, it's just around and we just have to find it. To find those and to share what I think is valuable and significant for becoming a better person is my commitment, which I was unconsciously doing already until I discovered this. HERE is one of the examples of my regular weekly series of "start your week right" (my first post that actually reaches more than $1 haha).

"In conclusion"

This #MapOutYourNextMove project is really worth reading, especially if you have a plan of becoming a content creator for steemit ecosystem. Less but loyal followers who know your worth and supports your beliefs are better than tons of followers who live by follow me follow you and upvote me I'll upvote you system. Majority of the people who are jumping in this platform seek to monetize quickly (which is what I was initially thinking too) but there's a better way to look at it. Steemit is so promising; imagine how your steem crypto will cost by the time it reaches the same level of utilization compare to major social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter Instagram, and the likes? So start discovering your whys, the value you can provide to others, your brand and start earning steem until it reaches the moon. Just enjoy the process, enjoy the learning curve and enjoy the free things from it that we can apply in our lives. We may not become a whale, but in real life, we can! So let us sail in one direction together 🚀🚀🚀

I have to admit that I'm still not ready but just like what the last episode of #MapOutYourNextMove said "START BEFORE YOU'RE READY" so here I am, at least I now have a clearer goal and direction. I highly recommend everyone to also use this model as your guide.

I will surely appreciate your upvote and resteem. Follow me for more. Let us share the love and let us help each other :)  

Can someone adopt this poor minnow please? I am so dying for steemit love and affection Haha,

Change is something that is somehow hard to bring to people, but with the right motivation and inspiration we can do it. It is hard to change the mindset of people when they see our weaknesses. We do have the information we need and it is easily accessed now more than ever but we still seek things that gives us immediate pleasure. There is the want for change but there is no desire to change ourselves for the better. We still follow old ways because we thought it is good.

Do not doubt yourself for that will destroy your desire for a better change. Keep sharing your goal and your voice will reach the right people. You have said it yourself. Unconsciously inherited traits and traditions thst hsve been deeply rooted takes time to unearth.

Thank you @leeart for dropping by again and thank you for encouraging me to follow my heart, I can sense that you have the same desire for our country too. Maybe we can work together in the future who knows :) We are one of the pioneers of this platform in our country, I envision myself as an influencer for future members of steemit coming from our country. Let us start planting a good type of seeds here now.

In a way we are working together here in steemit :D Keep writing what you are passionate about. You will reach the right audience sooner or later.

Thank you for the resteem, I just saw it. I appreciate that a lot ^_^

No problem! :D

HUGE Congratzzz on clarifying and stating your desires, @gavinci13. That's the important first step each time we seek to evolve and make next-level progress.

I'm focusing on building up my 'sure' upvotes from initiatives like @SteemBasicIncome. This will also help me build my steem voting power which is so critical to increase earnings here.

Sponsoring a fellow Steemian or earning via contest prizes earns a SBI share. And every SBI share means that SBI will upvote all original posts published by the shareholder.

I'll be re-starting my SIBWA Challenge soon with SBI share prizes because I feel it is a truly liberating way to both invest in the Steemit ecosystem and help someone else build their income while building mine too.

If you're interested, you can find SBI contests resteemed on the @SteemBasicIncome blog. If you prefer a more direct approach, you can sponsor someone else or several others and earn shares for yourself too. WIN/WIN. ;)

Cheering you on as you create all the results you are choosing, @gavinci13.

Hi there @angelacs Thank you and I will be happy to check that out.

Great, @gavinci13! I think you'll be very happy when you get a few @SteemBasicIncome shares under your belt. ;)

Remember to let me know how it goes.

Steemit brought me back to life :)
