MMXVIII The Year of Freedom

MMXVIII - Sky Blue & White.png

I initially deemed 2018 the year of my rebirth, but I realized it was another year I improved. There is a difference. The concept of a "new you" appears outdated. The thought of burning the past, forgetting it to create out of ashes a new you seems to deviate from a core principle. That in the past lie keys in understanding the present gateways to better navigate the path to the future. This is continuous. That a concept of an "improved you" instead was able to face truths that the concept of a new you could not.

By the time I was 18 I had moved 12 times. Pressing the restart button was muscle memory. But the Model of Restarting does not work well with the lives that are continuous. It begins, runs course, and then restarts... but what about us? Us that do not restart, but continuously live on? The Model of Improvement where you are not restarting anew, but built upon does work. It doesn't break the link between past, present, and future. It is a mental model that better accepts failures and imperfections.

I threw away past journals because I was unhappy about the things I wrote. But now I understand the reflections of my thoughts at that moment in time is a part of growth as time passes. I will post to leave a stance that can develop over time and be affected by other users in the community. I intend to post about my thoughts to evoke, things I learn to help, actions I take to encourage, and pains to relate, all to grasp a better self. An improved me... and in the process hopefully an improved you.

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
