How the hell did I end up here??

in #introduceyourself6 years ago (edited)

Welcome to the show folks

My name is Sebastian, I'm from Canada the land of maple syrup and unnecessary "Sorrys", and I've decided to join this platform because I have a message.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because further posts will dive more into the topic, but I believe right now our society is reaching a critical time where we need to stop, reflect, and correct the current course we're. Good news is, it's not going to take some new invention or revolutionary leader... the correction only needs to take place within each of us individually.

The message I'll be spreading is one that is beginning to pop everywhere you look. Unfortunately, it can't be spread fast enough. So I've strapped up, put on my big boy pants, and began my own mission to help deliver this to everyone who will listen.

...Drumroll Please ....

The message is that living a unhappy, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled life is not the norm but unfortunately you can categorize 80% of the population in 1 if not all 3 of the aforementioned categories... Everyone deserves a taste of life where each day they wake up with a vibrant energy, they know that when they look in the mirror that they are enough, and that the potential for them to do anything they aspire to is a momentum shift away.

I'll be writing about smorgasbord of topics surrounding personal growth and wellness which is what I spend 63% of my free time learning about. I figured it was time to give back to others the amazing information I've been fortunate enough to stumble upon and use to help change my life.

If the 63% figure caught your attention and you're wondering, "Hmm, I wonder what he spends the other 37% on" well, other than the exact percentages being complete BS and merely an eye catcher... I recently quit my stable job as an accountant to pursue a career in computer science so if you are wondering about that elusive 37% that is where it lies. You also might be thinking, "That doesn't sound to smart spending only 37% on something so pivotal as a career change..." But key word surrounding the percentages was free time so all the rest of my working hours is dedicated to this function, so you can take your judgement and put it on Facebook or Insta where someone might actually care ;)

Okay let's ditch the percentages and get back on track here.

I'm hoping to also share that journey to inspire others who are trapped in a job that they don't want to be in but are too afraid to take the plunge. So if I crash and burn at least you'll have a fair warning, but if everything works out in the end, which I truly believe it will one way or another, I hope I'm able to convince others out there to take the same chance and pursue something they are passionate about.

Life's long, but it is also short my fellow Steemians, don't settle, be happy and stay tuned :)

Hello livingyoursteems! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
