I don't think you are as far from your goal of being a good writer as you might think...your article here has been beautifully composed, and well thought through.
It seems to me that steeming is all about the circle of abundance and about having the right attitude to that...the financial reward is the least of it...there's an abundance of helpful, knowledgeable people, writing, creating and posting intelligent content in a mature and accessible manner. With a humble attitude we can ALL learn from it, from them and from each other.
So, for me, as a wee minnow in this mighty ocean, I'm not asking what it can do for me but to paraphrase a famous quote...what can add or do for it? How may I serve to expand our collective consciousness, add to, and hopefully enhance, the mix?
When we connect and engage at this level we automatically HAVE to raise our game, so your argument that it has enhanced your life, my life, all our lives, is bang on! It HAS and it DOES!
Full steem ahead, my friend and have a great steeming year!
All good wishes to you
In peace,

well, I tell you what, the financial reward helps a lot, since I didn't earn money for a long time, it's a blessing to have a space where my contribution is considered valuable.
there are so many opportunities to be a productive member of the community.. first is showing your worth, and making connections, and then is having to sort through all of the opportunities that come your way to meet with the ones that best match your spirit <3
Totally agree...and I am glad for you that your value is being recognised!
Valuing ourselves, and what have to offer to others, is one of those really important qualities that is often overlooked in many of our modern societies where everyone knows the price of everything but the value of nothing!
And, for me, your second point of matching YOUR values with both your own spirit and that of another person is also well made. Maybe the old hippies weren't so far off when they told us to tune in to the vibes, man! 😊
