Wohoooo, It's my Steemit Birthday today. Oh my God it has been such an incredible journey for me.

Two years ago a big shift happened in my life and that was Steemit. Yes it was a very big shift for me, because after coming to a new country, being jobless and not really knowing in which direction I am heading to and when all doors seemed to be closed, Steemit peeped into my life and since then it has been going on every single day for me. It is truly become a part of me, there is not a single day when I am not accessing Steemit.

During this 2 year journey, I witnessed the very highs and the very lows not only of the markets but for my own self too. At one time I had an earning of almost 350$ plus for a post and then there were rough times when I had earning of 3$ for a post but all said an done, it was happening fine and giving me the rigor to keep moving. I am very regular on the platform. I make it a point to make a minimum of 20 to 22 post a month, giving break every 4th day for my VP to build up again :-)

So Many wonderful moments I have had here with a lot of people. Not met anyone personally but still there is a connection, I know they are for real. Specially when last year during my surgery I had people feeling worried for me and it was such a beautiful feeling to know and understand that there are so many out there who care for you.

Other thing wonderful that has happened to me is being part of the communities. #thealliance, #ecotrain, #earthtribe, #naturalmedicine, #tribesteemup, all of them give me an opportunity to share my knowledge on the subjects that I like to write the most on. Though I am never on Discord, the members of the community make it a point that I am involved in every activity. But recently I felt very bad when one of the community leader reached out to me with a request and I was not able to fulfill it. Yes but I will for surely very soon. And the kindness of this person is applaudable, he did understand my situation and never showed any hard feelings. This only proves that people walk the talk here.

Let me share with you all some of the wonderful memories and achievements that I have had in the last 2 years;

My very 1st post on Steemit was
Life at the Surface, for which I recieved my very first upvotes from @romantic4 and @skyhooks. I was a little disappointed as almost no one had read my post.😃

The 1st Contest that I participated was hosted by @ana-maria
Wishes...Wishes...Wishes….Unlimited Wishes. I got a $10 vote on this, my 1st post with a double digit earning almost after 2 months of joining Steemit. I was on top of the world

Then was the joining of #thealliance which was another big achievement and they featured me in their "Feartured Member" series
👉👉Featured Member:👈👈 😇@nainaztengra🐋 @thealliance
From here on a lot of people started knowing me, wow I was getting famous..hehehe 😎

A very sweet gesture was made by a friend, which I really felt very touched
Dish Dedication for @nainaztengra Spicy Prawn Stir Fry @Chefsteve
It was all magic happening. How would one feel when you receive something like this. I was feeling that it was just not about my writing but people were really loving me for what I am. Again I was enjoying the feeling.

Then came my highest paid post of $383, at the time when Steem was around 4$
Importance of Family Table Talks There was a big vote of almost 180$ from @glitterfart. I was speechless and I am sure if you would be in my place you would be the same.

Another recognition that was done by @hopehuggs
My Steem Super Stars: Interview with Nainaz Tengra @hopehuggs
This was my first video interview ever that was happening. I was very nervous, @hopehuggs had scheduled a time with me for the interview and I was like ohh how am I going to sound on this whole thing. I had made my script and was all ready and it went very fine. Thank you @hopehuggs for the honor you bestowed on me.

There were many other achievements in this span of 2 years and every time I was feeling like I had accomplished something. All of these wonderful moments gave me a lot of motivation to keep going on Steemit.

Then there were some dull moments also, but that is a part of life, you can not always keep having highs, and it is better to taste the lows also to keep the balance on.

In the 2 years I have made 378 Post, I managed to earn an SP of around 12500, come up to a Reputation of 72, earn a lot of badges but most importantly received lots and lots of love from my fellow Steemians. All of this is a big achievement for me.

There are some people I always keep Thanking, because I feel very grateful to them for being a part of my journey and giving me that never never ending support.
Here goes my Gratitude to these people and communities once again;
@canadian-coconut; @enginewitty; @ana-maria; @c0ff33a; @slowwalker; @eco-alex; @artemislives; @jatinhota; @jznsamuel; @hopehuggs; @arunava; @dana-edwards; @runicar; @taliakerch; @steem-samiam; @drakos; @proctologic; @chefsteve; @amitsharma; @tattoodjay; @daudimitch; @tribesteemup; @dine77; @likedeeler; @stackin

In this journey there have been loads of learning's about which I have already written in the past, hence I will not include that here now. Everyone has a strategy to be successful, but the most important is to have one. As it is said Rome was not built in a day and so is success on Steemit not possible in a matter of few days or couple of months. But if you have the desire to pave out your way, directions will always follow and one will have their way out.

The next big thing for me on Steemit is attending the Steemfest in November and meeting up with everyone. I am enjoying my journey here on Steemit and I wish that it keeps going on the same way.

Thank you for visiting my blog.
