In this realm, as opposed to looking at the paper next to us, we are now focused upon the wallets of others. We do this with emotions of envy, lust, and longing. Oh how we want to be like them.
Funny you say this. This is my last comment before the one I am writing right now:
Yeah, comparing ourselves or our results with others tends to lead to misery and anxiety. It's often discouraging instead of encouraging, which ultimately can lead to giving up because things aren't "fair" and whatever things you can come up with. - Comment
However, everything you've said here is accurate, on point and extremely true. We compare our own results (wallets) with others. It's literally a shortcut to disaster.
We have seen people doing this (comparing themselves with others) who tries to come up with a "quick fix" for it by turning into beggars who does everything they can think of to get attention of whales and larger accounts, in desperate moves to earn. - It doesn't work.
In fact, it is far more likely that it will turn potential upvotes into downvotes instead, or that people block/ignore those people due to the greedy behaviour.
Everyone wants money. All of us are looking for more tokens in one way or another, but why on earth would someone who's been putting in time, effort and hard work for years (or invested a lot of FIAT to buy stake) just give a bunch of random beggars money for no reason?
It doesn't work like that in real life and it doesn't work like that on the blockchain either. People are rewarding value.
While value lies in the eyes of the beholder, it doesn't mean that anyone will happily give away money/tokens for nothing.
Be valuable, in one way or another for others and you will be appreciated and rewarded for those contributions, sooner or later.
The fastest way to earn is to figure out what someone else sees as valuable. Engagement? Specific types of content? You name it. Want to grow faster? - Do more. Be of more value.
Once you find those "golden nuggets", just rinse and repeat.

Adding value is something people need to consider more. For me, if I never put in the effort to engage, I don't think my posts would have really succeeded. It was hard when I started and things never really took off until I started engaging. It's fun and rewarding so I continue to do so even when I should be putting more focus on making more posts.

Yes, you are right. Adding value needs to be there.
It also needs to remain fun… otherwise it becomes like a job you are not happy with.
Having fun is important too 😁

People are not going to do this on a large scale if it is like Chinese water torture.
Enjoyment and education is vital.

I so understand…

I have been working on engagement to, I know is not easy but I don’t focus on the difficult part of it I focus on improving my numbers week in week out I know I can make it

What has been your favorite type of content to read?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think you are a prime example of what can occur. Your focus upon commenting got you on the radar of some decent accounts who tend to upvote not only your comments but also some of your posts.
That has to help your wallet a great deal.

I like to remember that everyone brings value.
Even the lurkers who never comment or post, they add to our views, and help us grow just by existing.
Of course, a lurker can't later complain about not having a piece of the pie, but they are still helping bake the pie.

It is something we keep promoting and some people are starting to clue in. We are getting more people involved in the engagement game. Having a growing number shows a great deal of health with the community.
And you are right, there are a lot of nuggets to be had. We are seeing so much being added, which is helping everyone.

I've been enjoying the ride the past few weeks. It's awesome to see so much focus on both engagement and optimized content, which are two of the things I care about the most actually. I see the potential of those things, and I truly believe that we can- and will push LeoFinance and Hive to new heights by improving both.

There are a lot of things that are blossoming before our eyes. Leofinance is growing with each passing day.
The numbers might not be huge be we are seeing the green sprouts from which more will come.

Yeah, the environment is truly awesome. I love to see new names within the comment sections and on the engagement leaderboards. It's really cool!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is great to see those names popping up and being getting involved.
This is going to have a big impact upon the entire platform going forward as long as they keep engaging. Most will fall off but a few will stick around.
That is how it seems to work.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is the nature of it, which makes it sort of difficult to fully enjoy things during the ups. We're so familiar with things so we expect the downs, which is inevitable.
However, some of them will stick around, and that's what we need to focus on.

It is a numbers game. We just have to remember that. Add a few more to the mix and keep gaining some momentum.

I just saw one of Penguin Pablo's reports.
People have been falling off, but the numbers of people who stay are consistent too.
Feels great to look at those reports.

I agree 100%, on Polycub alone there are massive changes in store and ready to take effect. Even our love Leofinance has a mobile app and multiple feature changes to the desktop version.

Ready for all of these things mixed together to really make a difference $$$ to us all.

It’s so great to see Indeedy!

I just wrote an "outward facing content" post, and shoot, the "look at my rising star account hive is so cool" posts are way easier to write.
lol
I'm training, those, posts are gonna be just as easy to write soon enough.
See, I got my own soonverse building.

The first of many more to come. :)
You're totally right though, it gets easier with time and it involves a lot of trial and error, but eventually it's going to be easier than what it is right now.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes I agree 100%
...comparing yourself to others is the root of all discontent and disappopintment.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't think comparing yourself is that bad but you shouldn't get fixated on it. Leaving it as a point of reference is fine.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I agree with you on this, comparing yourself is not totally bad but you must set your mind a perfect way and not by thinking you could what took some people 2years of their lives a week. It must motivate us to do more and take the step one at a time and not trying to be successful overnight
