If we admit that we have the power to transform ourselves and accomplish anything in life it’s impossible to blame anyone or anything else for our own unhappiness. Think about this for a moment.
I am thinking about that because I have never pondered that quote from this logical conclusion.
It is cool to read through this and hear your experience pouring off the page. It is clear you have practiced what you are preaching.
Side note, I am excited to see your payouts go up since the hardfork! Many of the trending authors had a decrease in their payouts but yours have nearly doubled it seems. Congratulations!
EVW deserves it. He is one of the nicest people on here.
Whale or No Whale factors considered........ and I feel the same about you Lydon.
Steem On folks!
You are right on BD. Eric is a superb individual and I always enjoy talking with him.
My friend, you always find a way to send out a solid encouragement. Thank you. You are building your way to that whaledom with your 1700+ followers.
Steem on indeed!
I will be honest when I was new, and learned about Steemit and the numbers and stats, I was nervous to even make a comment on posts or replies to people like @ericvancewalton and @stellabelle -- I have told them.
Just bc of their numbers LOL.
I have enjoyed my getting to know them a lot and EVW has become a friend I chat with offline of here at times too, I really blew it not having them as friends in my life earlier.
Live and Learn amen.
(: You are so nice to me, I always appreciate you a lot my man.
You are friends with them now, and how sweet it is.
Live and learn indeed.
It is my nature my friend. Besides, when it is reciprocated by good men like yourself it becomes easy, haha.
(:
I'm kinda thinkin' you're the nicest guy on Steemit, Barry! Lol. Thank you, man. It's always great to hear from you!
I tagged you in this post a few mins ago in a reply, saying I was intimidated by you, I mentioned it awhile ago to you, which in hindsight was dumb because you are such a nice dude
LOL.
Thank you for all the kindness and support, it has meant more to me than you know most likely.
That is partly why I mention posts to you I have up, I know you are busy, but your comments mean something to me.
Why were you intimidated? No worries, Barry. You're a really good guy. I really like your kindness and revolutionary spirit.
Thank you, Lydon! I really believe in this wholeheartedly after I experienced the benefits in my life. I was so surprised by the increase in post payouts today! What surprised me even more was how much my votes were worth. It was really amazing to see my votes increasing post payouts by almost $10 at 100% power. What an incredible feeling.
Enjoying each piece of your book you share - hopefully this Sunday's release goes well.
It is great! I was surprised as well how much votes were worth.
I kept reading posts that were explaining some of the numbers we would see but it was easier to see the results, haha. It is such fun to vote on someone's post and make a tangible difference in their payout.
Thank you, Lydon!
I'm amazed at that kind of change you're experiencing with your "power" and hope to be there some day too! Well done... bask in it!
Thank you!
