No matter the clouds, no matter the storm, clear sky is always behind waiting. This is how I look at my thoughts as they pass through my consciousness and affect my moods and therefore, my actions. They will pass and clarity will return.
We are so influenced by the world though that it is easy to get caught up in the currents of the winds and carried far from where we want to be, far from the path that leads us. At this time, many people feel the pressure as the price drops and the interactions on platform slow down. Comments drop away, voting drops away, mood drops away. My advice is that this is the time to work.
I don't mean posting more necessarily, I mean engaging more, reading more, learning more, preparing more. At times like these people trying to optimize their return say 'it is not worth it now' and take a break, which means, those that are here are more likely to be the ones looking long-term.
Looking well and truly past the seven day window, looking past the market dips and tricks of FUD, the future is bright but, that future is diminished by the poor actions of today, at least for many of the people. What you will often find is that those who do the best at things work while the rain pours, not just when the sun shines.
For example, now is the time to evaluate and rethink you content, work out better ways to present it, learn about the apps, read more, see what is happening around the system. What many tend to do is think that the little corner of the world they inhabit at Steemit is all there is. The Steemit world is very large and growing every day if you cared to have a look. There is a lot to learn.
It is also a great time to get to know other people, get into chat or discord, roam around, see what groups are available, see what is on offer and most importantly, see where you are most valuable and you can offer yourself. You'd likely be surprised at how many different projects and initiatives there are and how happy people would be to have an extra hand or two.
Remember that there are always going to be changing conditions and your ability to adapt and do what is useful in each is vital to being able to develop yourself continuously. The small developments when things are slow support the very large when it all speeds up again. Focus on the development of your own processes and do not worry about the variations in return.
Clouds come and go, rain falls, sun shines... it is all necessary for growth

You're exactly right. Currently as things get bogged down a little bit, we might start seeing posts payout less. This is the time to comment, go to Discord and engage, and try to build a community of friends and authors together.
The people that make the highest amount of money on here are the people that other people want to vote up. The people that other people want to vote up are the people that engage the community.

this use to be what i do too. But when I met people and they changed my mindset, I believe even when the platform finds it hard to reward minnows , its the impact of the minnow that will speak one day.
consistency is a key to sucessful career. Make steemit your passion and post,upvote,comment and learn when You should not minding the SBD rise or fall. Remember"Impact before Income".
Did you write this one just for me? Maybe you should have just sent it to me on discord or Steemit chat cause this has all the signature of a work written just for me. I don't mean to flatter but this is a great message to everyone of us. I have passed through many tough times in life that this kind of situation is like a child's play. But, then I still needed the words of inspiration just to let me know that someone else believes in this community. Thank you @tarazkp, storms will come, rain will fall, if you gat an umbrella put it on. For those who wanna wait till the storm is over, maybe they should consider bathing with us in the rain as we continue our move.
Edit, I stole this one for you. Don't tell anyone.
My dude, thank you for this advice. This is what I needed to pick myself up and out of my slump. What really drew me in were the nature analogies. :D
@tarazkp i appreciate your words.
Very nice words .
When we are facing problems its not the time to wait that after some time all be all right.
No, when we facing them we learn from them than we will get our goals .
Do not give up at any situation and try to do more best .
Very interesting post . thankyou for sharing these beautiful words with us .
Keep it up
Yeah! No matter the clouds, no matter the storm, clear sky is always behind waiting, You have great thoughts @tarazkp
Extremely pertinent post for the times.
There are those who joined steemit just for the money and others for the passion for a platform that offers total freedom and at same time gives reward. Others popular social platform don't offer rewards and yet people didn't there. I have handled blog with no pay for 2 years and didn't quit before I was introduce to steemit. Now is the time to push harder in this stormy weather cos after every storm is clarity.
Thanks for this motivational piece. Happy Steeming
Don't just push harder, learn all about the sea and the tides and the waves. Be a better captain.
Hello @tarazkp
Two days ago my account had been stolen, I am sure I didn’t give away my keys, so far I don’t know how someone stole it. He transferred my SBD to another account (@good-kama).
The phisher commented on a huge number of posts claiming they are not original and included links to external sites, comments owners flagged the comments reducing my reputation to (-1).
I used Stolen system recovery and it recovered the account yesterday. Since recovery I am trying to edit the phisher’s comments but they don’t respond. Other comments are editable. I have tried to include screenshots for my account and what happens when I try to edit the comments, but I can’t upload images because the reputation is low.
Can you advise on how to investigate what is happening and how to prevent such things from happening in future?
and if Is it possible to reset the account to the state before it was hacked?
Thanks.

Nice. Strong and authentic post to aid in community building. Change is inevitable as we all know. Sometimes the actual change doesn't always feel good or do good, but my mantra lately has been "change always takes us to a good place." Speaking to the evolvement process it ignites. Bless.
P.S. Im a crypto person and a writer but Im new here. Like you say in the article, Im looking to build a community of friendly humans. Planning to execute my "introduce yourself" post soon. Thanks!
