Hi Kaycee, I am inspired by the authenticity and honesty that you've shared. I too never expected rewards to have an impact on how I feel towards the value of what I have just created. I was used to writing into the void for many years where I didn't earn a single cent, so to suddenly be in a situation where there's value along with a post, the emotions and effects of that were really new to me.
Thank you for sharing this. I was in my late 30s and heavily pregnant when I found my Ikigai. It was right there all along. I simply didn't see it and hesitated to jump right in earlier out of self doubt after many rejections. May we all find our ikigai and live our best lives.
Omg, thank you Arni 💖 I think a lot of newbies feel the same way more than they will admit. It's a new concept–to earn from blogging in a community full of bloggers. It's a feeling that most won't easily get rid off. But here I am talking openly about it 😅 I think I would only enjoy my Hive experience if I stay authentic. It's worth it anyway cause someone appreciates it. So, here's a virtual hug 🤗 Haha!
I'm glad you found your ikigai! For the rest of us, I hope we'll get there sooner. That could only be hastened if we do a lot of trial-and-error. Eventually, we'll find our ikigai. A life well-lived.
Virtual hugs Kaycee from Moalboal 💖 As an INFP, authenticity comes naturally to you so keep sharing your awesome writing here. Cheers to finding Ikigai and I look forward to hearing about your journey when you do. 😉
Really? I didn't know that, no wonder. Haha, I got to research more about my personality type 😆
