For all those who haven't read the previous parts, here is PART - 1 which was a huge success and PART -2.
For all those who don't give a shit about the previous parts :P read on that how can you change your life through steemit the way I changed it !!!
16. Learned to choose happiness over money !
Writing has now become a part of my life and I have learned to find happiness in my work now and not just in money !! Until and unless you will write only for money, you won't receive either of the both, money or happiness !! I write for self fulfillment because I have a genuine want of helping others and give some meaning to my life. I love writing about topics that can make people feel that they have received a great deal of wisdom when they go through my articles. Better you post about what you love so that you first receive joy and then huge upvotes will follow !!!
Steemit will make you understand the importance of doing what you love, because that's only when you will receive appreciations you would put all your efforts into it !
17. Makes you kind hearted, a helper and a supporter :-
Now this might be a bit sarcastic !! Rude people can't survive on this platform. So they will have to find a way to either BECOME kind hearted or PRETEND so. After pretending for a long - long time you WILL automatically become a gentle and kind person. Because no one will come to your blog if you don't reply, argue, behave manner-less or can't accept criticism. And not just this, you will also have to help and support others in various ways by reading their blogs, comment and inform newbies about the ways everything works on steemit. Only then would you be able to survive on this platform.
Ultimately, steemit will turn you into a kind hearted person who helps and support others. I found a great change in myself after continuously doing the same. I became a more helpful person in the off-line world also after practicing the same here on-line.
18.Fight your fears, weaknesses and dark side :-
Steemit gives us a chance to fight some of our fears. They might be the fear of socializing, fear of being rejected, fear of speaking your mind. Here, you will have to socialize, you will HAVE TO come a long way after not getting any appreciation for your efforts for a long time and slowly you will learn to present your opinions without any hesitation because you will understand the importance of your voice !! You will understand the importance of your perspective.
Also, Steemit will make you fight your weaknesses and another side of you which doesn't allow you to be successful, may it be laziness to post regularly, put pictures in your posts, replying to comments, structuring/formatting your posts, being imperfect with grammar, vocabulary or lacking reading interests. You will soon start putting in more efforts to bring quality in your posts to get more votes and for the same, you will have to fight your weaknesses and your dark side !!
19. Reach where u deserve to reach :-
You will only get what you deserve. If you believe you are an amazing singer and you should upload songs on dtube and you get no recognition after doing that, may be you are lacking at something. If you believe you are an amazing photographer and no one votes your posts, even after you tried to experiment a million ways, may be that’s what you deserve. May be you should work more upon it. Or you should try doing something else.
Steemit will not make you rich even when you don’t deserve it!! You might be writing good but not putting attractive images. You might be commenting on other’s articles but you might not be leaving qualitative comments, you might not be reading carefully before giving your opinion. Success is always a combination of many efforts put together. You will not deserve success by doing JUST ONE THING correct. You will receive what YOU deserve, not what your CONTENT deserve !
20. I am not ashamed !!
No more will you feel ashamed of your mistakes, no more will you become conscious about what people will think, how would they react ! In the beginning some users fear writing their heart out because they fear criticism but on steemit, you are still appreciated even if you make some mistakes with the vocabs, grammar or even if you have a different opinion about something. (Yes there are assholes everywhere but supporters too !!) Some people might argue that your opinion is not acceptable but let it be, such people will always be there. Just focus on the supporters because here, you will find many !!
21. Makes me understand my own opinion better.
When I am writing an article, sometimes it happens to me that I feel that what I am writing is not actually sounding so logical ! I rethink my concepts then, I try to understand it myself while being lost in my own world. So it helps me to get deep into the topic, helps concentrate and clears my own mindset about a concept.
Writing helps us focus at a single place and we actually start thinking logical while making others understand. It happens to be like a discussion with ourselves and then things get sorted out. Talking to ourselves is very important to understand ourselves better and steemit plays a big role in the same !!
UPVOTE AND RESTEEM TO LET ME KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS LOVED THIS SERIES !!
These are some of the great lessons in and out of steemit.
Keep it up.

Thank you for appreciating all the three parts Alla. It does make those a better person who stick to it. Those who leave in between still suffers. Sad :(

Hi @allasyummyfood I am 25 days into steemit and I am in the same situation as @himshweta has pointed out in her part 1 series ( ha.. I am 29 days late to read that post )
Anyway, I also appreciate so many comments on her article and looking forward to read more
This makes me sad❗ Because of the Fact, That This all makes us Happy❗
I will see this life together with you all.. till the absolute Very End ☝🌟✨
Thanks for your kind visit.
Letme have a look at your blog as well :D
Some good observations here @himshweta. Some of them I have realised myself especially the fear part. It's still early days but it's true what you say, it does become easier with time. Steemit has really shown me a different kind of world, one which I just love being a part of.
Thanks for taking the time to read it and comment. I will check your blog now :D
nice but how it is
thanks for motivation
Steemit hasn't changed my life as of yet but this year, I know it will. We live in a time where work and play don't have to different. A write up backed by dozens of thoughts and solid research will definitely do well, no matter what. Also, I like to face challenges and I am sure it would be really great to document any of them and share with the great folks we have on the platform. And you are absolutely right @himshweta for not being ashamed of your opinions and thoughts. No one should be hesitant to express themselves in whatever way they can.
After spending some 200 days on Steemit, I will also share my experience on how Steemit changed my life. Thanks a lot for the idea. Cheers!
Thanks for taking the time to read it and comment. I will check your blog now :D
Haha. Awesome. Thanks for the reply @himshweta. I thought you missed my comment :-( :-P
Nah i never miss anybody !! I might take some days to reply but I definitely do it ! :)
I am sure you are gonna blow up these 200 days :)
Awesome. I think replying to comments is one of the greatest things you can do on Steemit. :-D
And thanks a lot for believing in me. :-)
Keep going Shweta. Each word true and explains my thoughts.
I love the post and the story!!!~ @lovecoins
This post has received a 0.05 % upvote from @drotto thanks to: @banjo.
Following the series, they are sexy =D.
To be honest, we gotta do what we love or love what we do since sometimes things won't go your way.
Actually, with all bots running right now, this is becoming mostly a business or was it from the beginning? there are several, maybe hundreds of post explaining the situation but still I think I fell in love with blogging and connecting with others
Thank you for being such a sweetheart :)
Your appreciation means a lot to me. Thanks a lot for voting and commenting. Let me have a look at your posts now :D
Don't worry i support you not because the supporting itself but instead because i like your content. You have also helped me a lot.
I am glad I could be of some help. :)
Thank you for collaborating with me to promote this post as explained at https://steemit.com/steemit/@jerrybanfield/10-ways-to-fund-a-steem-growth-project.
@jerrubanfield Wnated to say hi to you.
I am glad to see your comment in this post as I am your "fan" in the youtube series. Anyway, I am curious to know what is that "collaborating" in your comment meant and I will read your post about it to take action.
Cheers
Thank you @himshweta, Excellent points you make. I think you hit it on the nail when you said that you have to really love this stuff and love to produce good Content to reap the rewards.
You sure as hell won't do it by doing it for the money alone. You will burn out big time.
Thanks.
Btw, Iam in the Playground and I see where you are part of #theAlliance. Seems like a good place to be
Thanks dear :D
I never let anyone go from my blog without utilizing their precious time ;) Keep visiting.

Thanks for taking the time to read it and comment. I will check your blog now
This series is great....steemit helped me be who I already am...and thats a genuine person that loves to meet people....ive always wanted to meet people from different countries...this has allowed me to do so....and i love seeing all the talented steemians...reading their poetry, listening to their music, reading blogs, watching vlogs, fitness, and everything in between....i wish i had more steem power so i can upvote more people and it was worth more....i know eventually i will get there....wish i could do this full time as well....but ill just keep commenting on things i see and hear....and grow organically
I am glad you could relate with it :) Thanks for your time.
Thanks for the vote and comment. :)
I will have a look at your blog now
Hi @himshweta. I took the time to read all the seires you made and really enjoyed every single word you wrote.
From the 21 ways you exposed, I feel totally identified with # 13: Steemit has made me take out a version of me that was hidden for so long... That part who loves writing and loves moving vibes through speech. I didn't realize how much I loved writing until I came here and started creating the articles I've written until today.
You're right: Steemit makes you show the best or a new version of you and I'm sure I'll grow up more and more thanks to our beloved platform.
Thank you for sharing this series, totally loved it!! =D
Thanks for making time to visit my post and comment. Will do the same now :)
We all have a lot to learn on this platform, and this series of yours has so much information it is almost a Steemit self help guide. Super work well done really been enjoying your in depth guidance.
#thealliance
This is great. I really enjoyed this post and I totally agree with you on how steemit can change our lives or already has.
I love steemit and it has changed me and made me a better person, by being so inspired here in this community.
Thanks for your kind visit.
Letme have a look at your blog as well :D
I have read your articles and I think these are pretty good. I think that this might bring out the best of us and by the way I have been working here on steemit merely for 20 days or so. Im going to learn more in the upcoming time. Thanks
hi @wa2qr I am 25 days into Steemit and I shared with your thoughts that you and i can learn from her articles. She focus on the soft part of the human behavior which is so crucial to succeed in Steemit
Cheers
Thanks a lot for being so kind to read my post and comment as well.
Will do the same now

Thanks @himshweta 🙏
Thanks for making time to visit my post and comment.
This is very good!.. I loved the first and second part as well, It is so true and i sometimes think it makes everyone a better person, there is always going to be evil, but @himshweta thanks very much oke!!!
You got it right :D.
Thanks for voting and commenting dear. I will check your blog now :)
This are great points and motivation for minnows. I have not read part one but with what I read here I have to go back and read it to connect the dot.
Thank you
You got it right :D.
Thanks for voting and commenting dear. I will check your blog now :)
Hi @himshweta I am glad to have found this post of yours. In fact, I jump into the part 1 series and totally agreed with you on the 8 points you have pointed out. I did a long comment of my feeling in that comment section too.
For this series, it did not really catch my attention in the first glance, but after having read the part 1 and I understood now where you came from. In this series, I reckon that all the points you have mentioned bring about a quality of a person towards a better self and contribute to our family and the community.
Honestly, I don't quite like to read although I am a trainer by profession. But the title you used in the post really lifted my thinking hat and give me a second though to read on.
Of course, the way you wrote is so easy to digest its meaning and intention that help me to realized what it is about.
I am not sure how the "follow" works in terms of notification for your new post, I have followed you anyway.
Cheers to your future articles
Thanks for taking the time to read it and comment. I will check your blog now :D
Thank, i like 👍
Great post. Indeed, you will get what you deserve. Steemit has been a wonderful community to be involved with. Even though it has only been a short while, I truly understand the value of participation over greed.
Thanks a lot for being so kind to read my post and comment as well.
Will do the same now
Very uplifting. Your journey definitely motivates me. I’m currently struggling to find my way in this Steemy landscape...it’s starting to work it’s magic but I’m not there yet. Here’s to the future 🤞🏻
I am glad you could relate with it :) Thanks for your time.
Thanks for the vote and comment. :)

Great conclusions, yet it's not really steem specific experience. I think one can say same things about reddit, medium or facebook.
Thanks for your upvote and comment. Time to check your blog now
When people learn to chose happiness over money, they become rich and contented.
Half of the life's problem is solved there.
You have provided enough wisdom to me now, thanks.
Followed you

Wow, when I read the first two parts and this last one I realized that steemit changes your life, and that thinking is just money is a mistake.
Thank you for modifying my mind, and making me realize how important reading and writing are in our lives. In conclusion: be better people.
