It's so easy to focus on what's wrong because nothing is perfect and a lot of the new world is influenced by the old world, but I keep reminding myself that steemit has blasted open a whole new range of possibilities that I never imagined before. I bring myself back to that thought whenever I'm feeling helpless about something, that there are far more possibilities than any of us can imagine and that we find the best of those when we just keep at it and believe in our ability to succeed at whatever it is we are working at.

After a year of toil, I'm finally at a point where I could pay for rent (granted i live in a really cheap apartment) and bare-bones food with steemit. How awesome is that! I'm doing what I love here!
