Introduction
I finally feel like I know who I am again, so maybe it's time I introduce myself finally. I am getting to the point where I feel that my personal healing is finally settling down some and I am just integrating and keeping a positive energetic presence at this point while I continue to grow spiritually. I want to share a different type of story today and hopefully it can give a different perspective to some out there. I have had my entire world change in the last four to five months, but I can see how my intentions and actions were guiding me to that change and why it all makes sense. Allow me to share why I got into crypto currencies and it may surprise you, because it probably isn't the reason you think it would be.
Who am I?
I am sure some of you already figured out that most of my writing and discussions have been about self awareness and figuring out the answer to this very question. I guess it has taken long enough for me to finally be able to really answer this question and I think the best way to do that is to explain why I am involved in crypto and why I share all of these stories with you. Surprise, it has nothing to do with monetary gain! If you don't want to dive too deep into the long version of what I am about to say, here is the TLDR version: Who am I? Just one of you figuring it out as I go.
I think describing the types of decisions I was making and the intentions I had along the way are probably the best way to express who I am. I have done a lot of this through many posts over the last few months, but none of them really adequately express the lack of self identity that I had before I started basically using steemit as a mental health journal. I was basically an empty shell that I had filled up with good intentions and wishful thinking. I wanted to have a positive impact on the world, but I had never really thought about how to do that. I used to associate more with the "fight the system" mindset that the only way to do good in the world was by destroying the bad, but with self awareness and mission focus it's clear that negative intentions and negative thoughts just don't resonate with me.
I got into crypto for that very reason I mentioned above, I simply wanted to help "make the world a better place." The thing is that I never understood that it was possible to do that by simply being a positive example and sharing kindness and compassion with the world. I always felt like "attacking the banking system" through anarchist means was the solution to solving poverty and injustice, but it hit me after I finally figured out what love was and that I was in love with someone that fear based reasons for good intentions are not based on love. I realized that to heal the wounds of society and the world, instilling fear in the masses through attempting to collapse the banking system wasn't what I wanted, I wanted to promote opportunity for the masses to adopt a new way of life.
The end result is still the same, I still want to be a positive example and to heal society, but the perspective has completely shifted. In my mind we all have the ability to impact the world to a certain extent and the perspective that we take in how to do that is what creates a positive or negative energetic impact on the collective human existence. I feel that it is more beneficial to my own personal mental health and more in alignment with the person that I truly want to be to encourage positive change through example, than to try to do it from a negative place and fear based tactics. It's just my perspective and I'm not trying to convert anyone to my belief system, but hopefully that explains why I am here. Namaste.
Very cool stuff. I've been walking/writing a process of self-investigation through examining my relationships within thought, word and deed.
I too got into the crypto-sphere from the perspective of being deeply interested in a world that is to the best benefit of all Life. I'm interested in the outlook and conversations into Manifesting Heaven on Earth...Playground Planet Awesome. I realize that it is my responsibility to share and talk about the lessons i've learned and the mistakes i've made and the solutions i see that are to the best benefit everyone.
Thanks So much for sharing yourself. Much appreciated. Our words are the world and the foundation building blocks to creating the best structures that support and enhance all Life.

Thanks :) Took me a while to figure out who I was, but I'm glad to finally be able to introduce myself!
Awesome post, thank you. This resonated with me on so many levels. I share your point of view in encouraging positive change from a positive place. Beautiful. There is so much fear based information being spread and to me it's not healthy. All the best to you and looking forward to seeing more of what you create here!

Thanks Frank!
My sentiments exactly :) Focus on the positive of what you want instead of what you want changed and the bad will go away naturally!
amen.
some striking reflections in this, can intimately relate. I suppose - some aspects of our journeys are not all that unique - and it's tribes like these in which we gather to share the journey through such reflections on our growth - the collective, a mirroring of the individual...
