First, I must thank everyone who made me discover this wonderful platform. It's been a big support when I needed it the most.

However, I have discovered so many things about the platform and my immediate community.

Money makes the difference

The love of money they say, is the root of all evil.

I have seen so many people give so much to the community and some others rape the reward pool with the opportunity they have.

I have seen so many people rewarded by the whales who have good intention and some others flagged for lack of understanding.

Steemit is a place of discovery for me

In a span of 9 months, I have discovered that I don't need the votes to keep going.
I need the wisdom to keep up.

It's not all about the posts and time I burn for a vote from everyone that'll make me achieve financial success.
It's the value I create for myself and everyone around me that will make me succeed financially.

It's not about acting like a boss when I'm nothing.
It's about servitude to all mankind.

It's not about what I can gain from you.
Its all about what I can give to you.

It's not about depending solely on the blockchain for daily bread.
It's about investing in the blockchain from the excess you have.

I am glad I got to know Steemit.
Today, I am more financially free than I imagined I'll be and my earnings are not from Steemit.

Many of my friends wonder why I preach Steemit.

I preach it because I have been able to find helpful articles and stories that helped shape my mind.

Time is valuable

I read stories about @stellabelle when I first got on Steemit. I was so excited that I chose to read her posts from time to time. I've stopped now though.

One thing I discovered about her was that she never failed but was at point zero at a stage in her life.

She dusted herself and started a better life.

When I discovered I couldn't mix Steemit with my day job, I didn't go into it like others did.

I chose to discover a part of me I was afraid to discover. Today, I'm so confident in the fact that I can never be a failure.

Come June 2018, I'll be a year older and I hope to buy Steem worth $3000.

I bought 500 Steem last week worth $1500 but I needed to buy altcoins that were moving up.

Thanks to steem for making me discover more income sources.

You too can today.
