RE: Greed or Creed - 103 day'a-versary

Congrats on the 3 month mark, and welcome back to writing!

I saw Steemit as an opportunity to make money - rather than to add value. It is that. No doubt. But my motivation went so much against who I am.

Don't take that too much against yourself. Self-interest will always be among the highest priorities for us, even when our moral priories are different!

Sort:  

True, my friend. It's just that the primary motivator ought to be to add value - the reward follows.... :)

we should expect to receive value from the work we do; maybe not a $100 payout on Steemit every post ;>, but some recognition of the value we provide

if the value we receive is self-worth, that is good! If a few cents accrue here and there on top of that, even better

As long, of course, as we offer value. Most of my followers do! You certainly do!
