YES to this:

You may think this is bad but for me, this is the point of life. Growth. How I approach my personal development is to explore what I am capable of and that means growing, not claiming that me at this point in time is all I will ever be.

I, too, feel inspired and challenged by steemit and i take that as a good thing! I haven't been this challenged in a while and it's inspiring me to new heights!!
here's to our continued successes on the platform, and continual positive growth <3 @mountainjewel
