Way to go @tryskele!!
Now you have the hang of it, it is time to climb the ranks!
Cheers,

Thanks :)
A small prize on your first week, good start :D
It's something. A lot better than nothing for sure.
I have to agree with you. It's great to see these numbers lined out each week. It's helped open my eyes to what I needed to do. I only wish I would have come across the leagues sooner, and then jumped on them when @themanwithnoname mentioned them. They've been a tremendous help to my production and my morale. We just need to get more people involved.
Congratulations on the spot prize win. 1 STEEM might not be worth much right now, but who knows. We're all hoping for a higher STEEM price, and if it finally takes off, $20 USD would be a decent prize amount if STEEM got to that price, right? :)
You joined shortly thereafter. I don't think you need to worry about the week (maybe two) that you missed. You're here now and that's what counts. You've been one of the most consistent and successful people in the league, so you're doing the right stuff.
And you're right that Steem could be worth a heck of a lot more some day. Those small prizes add up and can become something huge. :)
Yeah. I think we would do well to think that way. Right now, it's tough, seeing things sit at $1.73. But since they've been way lower than that for longer than they've ever been above that, it's perspective for all of us newtimers. I should have bought in back when the prices were low and then started doing something after the last hard fork. That would have been the perfect combination, I think. At $0.50 STEEM, with what I have invested, I'd be a triple Orca! There's only so much kicking myself I can do, and then it just becomes redundant.
Yeah, don't kick yourself, man. There's no way you could have known and there's no way you can go back. I need to practice what I preach, but hopefully the encouragement gives you some freedom or permission to move on. Again, I know that's tough to do.
There are so many things in life that we can look at and say, "Man, I wish I had done that differently." But if we could do that, we might change things that led us to where we are. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to change it. There are lots of things that I would prefer be "better" than what they are right now for me, but I also am thankful for the blessings I have, like my wife. I wouldn't want to give her up in exchange for a few other things that wouldn't really make me happy.
Wow, that's a lot of rambling. Maybe some of it helps. If not, feel free to ignore and carry on with your day. :D
Oh, I'm good. I don't spend that much time dwelling on it. Just when it kind of comes up in conversation. I appreciate the words, though. No way I could do anything about it now, as you say. :)
And yes, there's all kinds of things that could be better, and it's also true that there could be all kinds of things that are worse. I don't know how it happens, but I always seem to end up in the middle of that assessment, which is probably best, because if I was finally at a point where nothing could be better, that would mean everything from that point on would either stay as it is, or get worse. If it couldn't get any worse, then I guess I'd have nowhere to go but up, but it would be much worse in the moment and a much steeper climb to get out of.
I'm glad you're not too hung up on it. Those things can drive you mad if you let them. I know people who let regrets and disappointments run their lives and it's challenging to be around them.
Deep thoughts, man. Yeah, it's normally somewhere in the middle and that's ok. It keeps us thankful for what we have while leaving room to hope for something more.
