How I nearly ran out of Patience on Steemit.
This is my little experience that nearly cause me a wrong decision, but truly patience, consistency and goal setting is truly the basic for success. There was a time, not too long ago, when I almost threw in the towel on Steemit. Yes, me, the same person who once logged in with excitement, heart beating fast, ready to share my creativity with the world. Felt that the world is now turning again him, that his Worth are not notice, his creativity and effort doesn't worth the energy put in. But you know what?. Patience matters a lot. The say that says " patience dog eat the fattest bone" is sometimes jovially responded that " the Patience dog is now having ulcer" 😂😂
I had imagined that my posts would get read, appreciated, and upvoted. I thought my words would resonate with the community, and in return, the support would flow naturally. But reality hit me harder than I expected. Post after post, zero votes, one tiny upvote, or sometimes just silence. The kind of silence that makes you question yourself: “Am I even good enough?”
“Is anyone out there reading this?”
It was a kind of frustration that creeps into my mind and whispers, “Why not just stop?” and I nearly did. My patience was wearing thin, and honestly, it felt like I was pouring my energy into a bottomless pit. I took courage from different people and believe in the aims that brought me to steemit.
I sat back and reminded myself why I joined in the first place. Steemit is not just about instant rewards it’s about building, learning, and connecting. I told myself that if I gave up now, I’d never know how close I was to a breakthrough. This inspiration was a very powerful one.
I began to see my journey here like planting seeds. You don’t plant today and harvest tomorrow. You water them, care for them, and trust the process, even when the soil looks dry. The truth is, some seeds take longer to sprout, but when they do, the joy is worth every drop of water. Truly believing that mine will be the in the same case.
So I decided to keep going. I started engaging more, reading other people’s posts, leaving thoughtful comments, and appreciating their work. Slowly, things began to change. From comments.
This is my words to any one who may be feeling the same way as I do, If you’ve ever felt like giving up here, trust me, I understand. But don’t. Your voice matters. Someone, somewhere, will read your post and connect with it, even if they don’t upvote immediately.
I almost lost my patience but I didn’t. And that made all the difference. Thank.
