What I think of when I read this post is that success is relative.
Everyone has their own idea of what success is. It appears that most judge it by post payout, no surprise there. Though some dictate it by views or comments or maybe even the quality of the comments.
It is obvious that you care about a lot more than just payouts though in your short amount of time and posts you are making very high payouts relatively speaking.
I believe this is because your are very genuine, you have admirable values/morals and you genuinely care about other people.
Real people can feel this and thus support you. If anything you are a testament that even if money isn't the most important that putting values first can lead to money.
You are a fine example of a Steemian! Looking forward to getting to know you better and to see you at SteemFest!
Wow, Thanks Quinn!
What a truly genuine and thoughtful comment judging this post by the quality of the comments makes this very successful in my eyes.
I realized recently that the payout's are not what's driving me because not long ago I did a post that got over $100 but the comments and the feedback were not that great, for this reason I actually view that post as unsuccessful.
Its comments like these that keep pushing me, without feed back like this it would all be worthless.
I feel truly Blessed to have this interaction with you.
Bless.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I totally agree!
I too feel blessed to share this with you and I feel like we have had many of these exchanges. It is actually quite rare even here on Steemit to really go deep, to take the time to ponder and share honest and in depth perspectives with each other.
Yet for you it is standard practice and is one of the reasons I respect you and also like you so much!
You leave and respond with a lot of care and consideration. It is a truly respectable quality one of which I hope you inspire and bring out in many others!
How amazing it is to connect beyond money or material gain. To simply love and share the experience of being alive.
For me with every interaction I have with someone I intend to contribute something of real value. Wisdom, knowledge, insight, or just love and care in a truly genuine way.
Otherwise its not really worth commenting.....
Grateful to be connected with you and to share REAL value!
SteemOn to SteemFest!
