As a thank you to my followers (for getting this account to 700 in about 5 weeks), I'd like to give back to the community and do a giveaway.
I'm going to choose three participants using www.random.org and transfer 96% of SBD AND STEEM earned on this post between them (So 32% for each winner) (I will be taking a GIANT 4% cut for facilitating the giveaway- I know, I'm so greedy!)
So, let's say this post generates $100. I will do the www.random.org drawing at the end of the 7 days, and the three winners will split the SBDs. Between the SBDs and Steem, each person would get about $30, maybe more or less due to curator rewards. I'm doing this 50%/50%, so the SBD will be distributed A.S.A.P. to the three winners when I get paid out (after 7 days). The winners will have to wait a short period of time to be paid the steem from the steem power earned, because I will have to either power down or add steem to my account to match the amount earned. I am 100% putting my reputation on the line here and won't let you all down. You all have my word that I will honor it.
Here's how to participate:
- Upvote and Resteem (resteeming is optional, but would really help!) this post.
- Answer this question: What motivates you to be a good person? Answer with honesty!
- Only people with less than $5,000 Estimated Account Value will be eligible, though anyone can upvote!
- You have to follow me because this is really for my followers.
- I may decide to cut this giveaway off to the first 100 participants, (I haven't decided yet) because it might get crazy after that. (but you may still upvote after that to make the pot bigger.)
I will document the drawing via YouTube video and post that video here on Steemit at the end of the 7 days! (I want to be as transparent as I possibly can)
Here is my full YouTube video explaining the giveaway if you don't like to read lol!
Thanks again for all of you who decide to participate and to my followers. You all rock!
Congratulations :) My motivation for being a good person is to get the most joy out of life :)
You're Entry #5! Great answer!
Thanks :)
That's a great question. What motivates me to be a "good person" is the sense of knowing that is what I am-what all of us are-at heart. We are born innocent and pure. Living in this third density can cause us to stray from what we are, which is pure love.
So, when somebody tailgates me, for example, even though I'm doing the speed limit I can either flip them off or slam on my brakes, causing a negative reaction within myself-causing harm (dis-ease) to myself: or, I can think to myself, "Wow. That guy's in a hurry for some reason. Maybe he has an emergency?" I can pull over if feasible or just go about driving as usual. No reaction needed. No need to put out negative energy to myself or the person tailgating me.
In short, if I choose to respond negatively to anyone or any circumstance, I am only harming myself. I am releasing a negative karmic reaction, that will come back to me. I am creating the world in which I live by my every thought, word and action. When I make the conscious effort to do the right thing, I am creating peace for myself and the world as a whole. That is why I choose to be a "good" person. It takes a conscious effort, and is not always easy. But, I never regret doing the right thing.
Best answer I have received yet! Thank you for that! You got a 100% vote from me :) You are Entry #47!
Why thank you very much. You've created an interesting contest!
And, oddly enough, after I responded to your post I had to go out and run some errands. I'm driving along and this car comes right up on me. I was thinking, this is quite synchronistic..... I was being tested, again. I just kept doing the speed limit and took a deep breath. When we arrived at the 4-way stop I went one way and the fast driver went another.
Glad nothing happened!
Great Job @vegansilverstack

As for my motivations to being a good person. I'd say My biggest motivation is making sure that my family knows the difference I have worked very hard to create in my own personal life. So my family. In the good times and the bad times they were always there for me so I think it's time I step up and be ready to be there for them. Long answer short. I love my family and I will not let them down.
Very nice answer. You have Entry #41!
Looks to be going awesome buddy :) Great idea.

To do something nice for someone else and see that they're happy with it :)

What motivates me to be a good person is being surrounded by a supportive family and friends. I want to give back an enormous amount of love and positive energy to the people around me. I have role models and idols, to be that person to someone else is simply priceless. I strive to be the better me, than I was yesterday. Good luck to all that have entered!

Very nice answer! You're Entry #9! ¡Gracias Manu, suerte!
I try to be a good person because of how my parents raised me and so my kids learn from me. I have found it all comes full circle and that is true for good and bad deeds. Thanks for the giveaway.
Very nice answer, I like the "comes full circle" bit, I believe that to be true! You have Entry #10!
Great idea for a post! My motivation to be a good person is simple... "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Karma is a hell of a thing, so I like to be positive!
Awesome, definitely falls in line with my own philosophy! You'll have Entry #11 my friend.
What motivates me is the reaction and joy I get from people who I am good to!!

My motivation for being a good person... honestly and frankly... What goes around comes around!
Good of a reason as any! You have Entry #14!
If you want all honesty then here it is.
Nothing motivates me to be a good person, I was raised to always be nice and polite to others and live by those rules to this day. BUT if I were to pick a second choice I would say to see others also be happy and spread some love to others they know.
I appreciate your honesty man! You have Entry #16!
congrats! bad people actually motivate me to be a good person.
Congratulations on the huge milestone. Good luck with the post and the giveaway. Steem On!
Thank you!
I am NOT a good person, but love motivates me to TRY to do good. Love of God, and the entirety of creation, but concentrated on what and who is in my sphere of interaction.
Hey, that's some real stuff right there! I appreciate your honesty! You have Entry #18!
My motivation to be good person comes from happiness of others. I'm Drummer and entertainer, happy person is my job well done. :)
Nice! That's very cool! You have Entry #19!
Thanks for the introduction to steemit. My motivation to be a good person comes from the idea that my smallest acts of kindness can help someone look at the world with a different perspective. I really like this platform thanks again and best of luck.
Thank you! That's a very good outlook to have! You have Entry #20!
The look on the person's face when I do something that they appreciate is the only reward I look for in being a good person. Congrats on the 700 club!
Very good answer! You have Entry #21!

Can't ask for a better reason than that! You have Entry #22!
Thank you @vegansilverstack appreciate it! Good luck to all and thanks for the giveaway!! jbcoin
I get this deep tingling, that is hard to word. But if I use a metaphor, like a spiddy sense goes off. Hummnot sure that is quite a answer. Honestly I don't really know what motivates me to be a good Pearson, or if I even am a good person. Maybe all the Love my mother gave me as a child and still to this day. That influence has now become a habit. I guess it to be that feeling of positivity, it gives me a rush. Like smoking up for the first time. Lol crazy Probly the most text I have put on here so far. Cheers @vegansilverstack! Great challenge thumbs up.
Haha very nice response! Love is all you need! You have entry #23!

My dad wasn't a good person and he's a great example of who I shouldn't be. That's how I motivate myself to becoming a better person.
You need to upvote to be a participant.
Got it. Thanks for reminding me
Thanks for that. Sorry that your dad couldn't have been better for you. You have Entry 36!
Thanks for the giveaway! My motivation for being a good person is: that's the only option we have. Being good is hard. It takes effort. If we do the opposite, if we do bad thing, then we would not be in the control of our lives, we would just let our animal nature command. BEING GOOD IS THE ONLY CHOICE WE HAVE!
Very nice! You have Entry #28!
My motivation to be a good person is my kids. You have to set an honorable example.
Very good! Setting a good example is important for everyone's future! You have Entry #29!
And congrats on 700!
Thank you!
Why would I be motivated to be a good person? I either am or aren't a good person and I guess that depends on other's perspectives so it doesn't worry me at all.
So then I guess I could ask you, "Who/What influenced you to be a good person.?"
I don't know if I am a good person so I am not able to answer that.
Congrats , hope to reach your goal one day ! Motivation to be a good person is because not many people in this world actually care for others deeply , they either use them or forget them . When you are generous and give , you always get back (wish people understood that)
Very nice! What goes around comes around. I think that's very true, indeed! You have Entry #30!
Nice work on 700 new goal now?..I guess I am most motivated to be as good as I can by those less fortunate putting dreams into action, this makes me appreciate all levels of life, it doesn't so much matter where you come from, but where your heading : )
Nice! You have Entry #31!
YHWH !!!
Nice! You have Entry #32
Congrats to reaching that milestone so quickly, its impressive. I have been on Steemit for about as long and am on the verge of 500, so I respect the work your putting in here.
My entry: Real simple but very honest answer is my son and my wife. I have a 4 year old and I want him to be the best boy, man, father, husband he can be and that will be easier to accomplish with a role model showing him how it is done. :)
Excellent work my friend, kudos! Following and upvoted. Please feel free to check me out and follow back.
