What a great message Miss @SurferMarly! And not one who applies to Steemit only, but it generally applies in every area of our daily Life! And that is:
You HAVE to GIVE before you RECEIVE
I touched on this topic when I've made my first created story, which I decided to post here on Steemit.
Have an wonderful day and Steem ON! :D
you are correct the holy BOOK even said so. "Give and it shall be given back to you......... Luke 6:38
