I actually wrote back to you on my last post about my buttcoins story on hive article. In the comments i shared a link where you see me using the be selfish with a new user.
But ill explain what im trying to get at here.
My last 5 years of life or so, i have reframed the word selfish. Many see it with negative connotations, but i now firmly believe that being selfish allows you to be of the most service. When you have focused on self first, and your mental, physical, spiritual, and financial self is secure, you then have the true capacity to really be helpful to others.
So in terms of Hive. I’m saying dont write for comments, money, views, feedback, hive. Write for you. Write for your memories. Write about things that interest you not what you think will get votes. Be selfish means your gains come to you from focusing on improving —writing, presentation of ideas, readability, better poems, songs, better photos. Whatever it’s important to you, be selfish and do just that. When your focus is on your self, on your own history, skills, family life, personal thoughts…. Then you are comparing yourself to your selfs improvement via hive tools. Then all the comments, upvotes, new friendships… they become all bonus, the cherries and cream on top. But the real gold was your self scrapbook, that self expression developement that cant be taken away.
Be Selfish, the community will find you soon enough.
