Dog walk diaries: early call up and easy

It was a 530 wake up this morning and I am not a morning person.

There is 982,903 Steem in the pool which is ~3% more than two nights ago and 25% more than usual. Vote values continue to climb. I wonder if the pool has ever made it over 1 million for the 7 day period?

The feeds still feels a bit slow which is strange considering people tend to worry about numbers so much. The pool is overflowing, the feed price is 81 cents, this is an opportunity and it hasn't been kept secret.

People always mention how lucky early adopters were because things were easier but at times like these we can witness that is not the case necessarily. Just like now, many didn't realise back at the start things were easier so unknowingly passed up the opportunity.

Easy is one of those relative terms that is dependent on knowledge, skill and experience. What is easy for one can be extremely difficult for another but no one finds everything easy. Some do seem to make a lot of things hard though.

For some, there is an obstacle for every opportunity, an excuse why they are able to take advantage of situations others have and then later complaints saying it wasn't fair. There are times this might be justified but many always have the excuses why they couldn't.

It is a difficult situation here because everything is more available to see, some of the feelings of unfair are able to be dismissed. In the real world there is a lot hidden meaning it is easy to say that a successful person must have done something underhanded to be so but here, is that the case?

Yes, there are a lot of less than community spirited actions by some but there are also many who have been successful on Steem through large amounts of consistent work. That work gets recognised and supported by some over time until it is easier to earn but, that doesn't make everything easy as new problems arise and with them, new opportunities.

The people who are the most successful in this world are those who are able to adapt with changing environments and I am not limiting this to financial success alone of course. There are opportunities everywhere as things change and while some stand still, others take a chance on them. There is risk in taking them, isn't there?

Some avoid moving because they have a fear of failure while others move despite that fear. I have never met anyone who has no fear of failing but I have met people who embrace the concept of failure, accept it and take a swing anyway.

This place is interesting because it gives all of us a chance to learn and do things we may likely have no access to otherwise and therefore access to a potential future we wouldn't have otherwise. It is an opportunity and we are currently all early adopters.

It may be difficult for some but try not to spend too much time worrying about others and instead find opportunities that are accessible with your knowledge, skills and experience. That is how you move easily but it still requires consistency over potentially long periods of time. It also leads onto a development of those three facets which opens up more difficult opportunities to take advantage of.

Playing it easy will only get so far but it is a good start.
