The STEEM story was already written.
What do I mean by that?
The whole cryptomarket is a deep, deep cold winter or a dry desert.
Also here we just have a typical and normal life cycle. But the end of the story is already written we just don't know it yet.
Its a fact that most of the time we only see, or focus on a specific part of a success story. Think about it for a moment. Think about a celebrity you like or an athlete. Maybe you have some examples near you, your wife, your friends or other acquaintances.
When we see successful people or a successful group of people, we find this fantastic, on the other hand, we often find quick reasons for their success.
Meaning if I would have been in that situation than I would have also been successful.
People don't see what it has cost for some people to be where they are. Same goes for some companies.
People often overlook the challenges people faced, their anxieties, their doubts, the pressure of other people. But they decided to stick to something, not to give up, not to lose hope. This is something I see here. People are holding on to STEEM.
When this ship sets sails, I am not saying that it will but I hope so. People will come back watching you and saying maybe something similar: If I would have been here when the price was so low ma account would be more significant.
What they don't see is that you never knew that this would indeed turn out well. You believed in it, and you also had maybe objective reasons to believe, but you never knew. They don't see the uncertainty that came with it.
But exactly these moments makes a great story.
Remember again some people you find successful. Several people come directly into my mind when I think about success. They also faced challenges they doubted. People told them to give up to look up for something different.
"Save yourself as long as it is possible!"
This story already exists so often. It's not a new situation we see here.
What you are facing right now other people already experienced in their own context.
But let me tell you this: If you are able to hold on and the ships set sails STEEM will not only be a victory for you. It will be much more. A part of yourself.
This counts of course also for other areas of your life ;)
It is indeed a human flaw to overlook the origins of success. People also assume that they would have done just as well if not better when looking in hindsight. I was here for 7 cent Steem and didn't know it was an opportunity. Many here who did realise didn't actually buy in either, even if they could have.
Those that did buy in however might not have put much in but they did expose themselves to risk. This is not far different from an athlete who goes all in on becoming a professional with little or no backup options. People look at those who fail and say "what a fool" but those who succeed, they admire and wish they could have a piece of that success.
There is risk in every position, including standing still.
Love the mindset shift you guys push @modernpastor and @tarazkp

Love it!

Awesome! Totally agree with your comment.
Hello Brother how are you? you are going to retire from steemit :(? I have noticed that many people are retiring :( if you have known any other platform to earn cryptocurrencies, could you recommend me? thank you God bless you and your family.
This is my discord: blessed-girl#2483
Many are retiring , but don't think @modernpastor is retiring ,remember what he say about her wife business ,it is true that he has powered down to zero but still I don't see him going off steemit
.
Preach brotha! Gotta admit the bear market has me a bit down but I have been accumulating regardless!
Great attitude my friend. Keep on accumulating I know it can be frustrating but the possible reward can be huge.
Man. I cannot tell you how much I resonate with this message. Heck, I did a vlog on the same a while ago that I'm yet to share. I am just amazed and pleased and overwhelmed to know we and many other still holding on strong are vibrating on the same frequency. Nothing hurts like regrets when you know you could have done better. Like you said, it's really all about faith and I have plenty of it on this platform. Thank you for this dose of affirmation Pastor.. Keep them Coming :)))
The worst thing: to regret! Better you play till the end than you surely know the results. I will check out your vlog. Whats the name of it.
Very well Said - I think people need to read something like this during this hard times. Psychology is weird. One year ago we would have been extatic if it was possible to buy Steem so cheap, no everyone is filled with uncertainty, but still the fundamentals haven’t changed. I’m holding on to my steem
we re in middle of HODL and RUN...
so im still in that option, to say i didnt loose a thingy... i won already... I met a lot of amazing People around this globe in this STEEMIT THING... so im still a winner...
But what can we do???
We can stay and do same shit as everyday... So i decided to write every day min one Story do my daily stream, and started a nice Streamer Curation Community which grows everyday a little bit.. We need to get more active to grow with the momentum... And i see light at the end of the tunnel and not the completly darkness as a lot do... and you will see a lot of went off in these times of Steemit and they will turn in again when prize rise .... But in my 2 cents they will loose a lot... so lets start to stick together and do it like Peguins do... Warm up in group to dont freeze... We re all have powers and when we stick together we dont starve in this time...
You are indeed a great example of someone seeing value in the little things and also having joy with that. :)
What is the name of this discord again?😅
contact me on bembelmaniac#1209 and i will send you an invite ;)
Words of wisdom right here... I’m holdin right and stackin some more! 🙌🏼

That is for sure ,holding to what you believe in ,most times don't fail ,Rome was not built in a day ,it takes gradual process to be rich ,some fast .But one thing is sure, stick to what you believe in ,and I tell you their must be a light at the end of the tunnel and that is for people that have faith that will conquer .
Very very happy seeing for a long time even your matches you don't show in lineup .hope everything is fine ?
Stay blessed.
I got an injury again but not so dangerous 😭
Sorry for that .you will come back and create records .
Welcome back once again
Thanks, my friend :)

STOPHaha, so true. I have often wished to been here on Steem when it was still 10 cents in early 2017. But here we are with about 30 cents and I am celebrating every moment of it. :)
Very true words ".... If I would have been here when the price was so low ma account would be more significant."
I think, the one of the main problem of the human is his Eyes and mind: He only think mostly the world arround him is the world which he can see with his eyes. The part of the world which he can't see, he don't recognize as his word. Same with the STEEM Price: right now it is down, and everyone is away... they don't see the main goal and the complete Steemit life circle. They only see what is now happened....
well said !
those self made successful celebrities, athletes, businessman all overcome their amount of uncertainty, adversity, sacrifices. Most ppl dunno about them when they are at that stage. And the many whom walk similar path and gave up before the light at the end of tunnel.
As you mentioned
"Save yourself as long as it is possible!"
in this bear market, those true believer of btc need to be very resourceful and face the adversity ahead in order to survive this market cycle.
PS :
btw saw your insta https://www.instagram.com/reinholdyabo you have a big following with very good engagement, kinda of inactive ? check out share2steem new dapp to EASILY autopost instagram posts to steemit. Let's get 1% of instagram users and show them the possibilities with steem blockchain !
Exactly brother and no one really sees what the difficulties were faced to reach to that destination.
While yeah we are going to make it and no matter what we are going to make something amazing.
The mode of survival in the battle of the greatest pheww hopefully steem will be able to stand out for the one last time to change the game
Blessings brother, I hope you have received the year 2019 with great joy in family, I wish you much success this year and many blessings from God.

If some day you can contact me I wanted to ask some things, but as you almost do not publish it is difficult to contact you.
Bumping into this now, risk. A mountain climber takes the risk to believe in self knowing well that the journey ahead is nothing short of his/her whole life, the end.
With courage and determination, goes ahead to fist to fist with the rocks and snow and everything that covers the mt. At the end a celebration is called, but we tend to overlook the fact that he/she only believed much in self and it was not a mere attempt to please the inward person, but the perseverance.
Found myself in your post on my rounds trying to find morale and stories based on the need to hold on.
With thanks.
Indeed we need to hodl until Victory is ours. We are facing threats as like life and death across this dessert or winter path,..
Agree with your stance on the Steem platform. It’s much more than a mere social media outlet. It’s more like a full-fledged economic entity, currently in its infancy, waiting to discover the path that lays forward. Steemians are one of the most enthusiastic people I’ve seen in the cryptospace yet. Love what we do and do what we love.

First of all, I love your post, it's really motivating. Totally agree with everything you said that's why I keep powering up all my earnings since I started 17 months ago.
It's probably same with self-made billionaire like Mark Cuban which he said that even at the time that he's running a successful company, he's still satisfying himself with a simple mac & cheese. Work on his company for 7 years without taking a holiday until he sold it for 5.70 billion. And now his ripping his rewards from his hard work.
I believe we will have this kind stories for Steemians few years from now. Cheers!
Buenos días amigo @modernpastor le deseo que se encuentre bien al igual que su familia , que le a pasado que no a hecho más publicaciones ? Reciba de mi parte un gran saludo desde Venezuela isla de margarita y que tenga un excelente día amigo .
There's a saying in German: "from nothing, comes nothing".
Basically it says it all. Anyone who tries something can only have luck or bad luck. In the end it is important to be at the right place at the right time, preferably with the right idea. Another point is, work hard, work hard, work hard. Independence comes from self and constantly. Only those who believe in themselves achieve what they want. The people who think that everything is a gift are bad. I know some people, they all had to work a lot to reach their goal.
Is with me in the small one also not different. At the moment I have to learn a lot to pass my exams as an educator in 2 weeks. It's a job that doesn't earn much money in Germany. I love this job however and I want to work in this occupation. It simply brings me joy.
You are a footballer and you also had to train a lot and work on yourself to get where you are. For that you should not experience envy, but always the highest respect. I take my hat off to you.
May I point you to @driveforkids by the way. A thing that is very close to my heart. We are all people who help children and young people in need.
So now I will learn however further. Religious education.
Your level lowered and you are now a Dolphin!
