"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you look at it" - Maya Angelou.
I find this quote of Maya Angelou’s very helpful. It is applicable to a lot of situations in life. What is happening on Steem is also happening in all corners, in all walks of life.
Life is what it is and will be what it will be. Being sad, angry, indignant will not help a bit. Instead, we should accept things for the way they are and deal with it the best we can.
Steem has been around for some time now. Many people have come and gone. Many will still come and go. Some who did good jobs for this platform in the early days have moved on because they felt they were fighting a losing battle. It is sad because if they had stayed, the group of people adding value to the platform would be bigger now.
How the platform will eventually turn out is anyone’s guess. Until then, we do the best we can. Understanding and accepting things as they are, we don’t add unnecessary stress to our lives.
You are doing a great job here, curating, adding value to the platform. Keep at it!. I know, there will be days when you ask yourself if it is worth it. We all have days like that. Meanwhile, keep up the good work!
Cheers!
A very wise quote. Buddhism?
I've always stuck to ‘Love it, change it, or leave it!’. I've never succeeded in loving it, I've tried changing it over and over again (rather unsuccessfully), I didn't dare to leave it - so something must be holding me.
Yes, time to stick with Maya Angelou... 😊
