Does Steemit Made Any Impact On My Life?

in #steemit6 years ago

The more time you spent here on Steemit the more questions are arising. At first everything look perfect and you try to figure out how it's working and what to do in order to be successful but there is no right and wrong answer and a bit of luck may change everything for the best too. 

I caught myself a lot of times thinking that same questions "Does Steemit Made any impact on my life?" "what was that impact and what changed" "was it worth it or not?" so let's dive in and answer those questions!

This post is part of a giveaway-contest which i really like the topics of each week as well as the whole initiative and that's the main reason i am taking part in. For more info just click here

Steemit had an impact in my life since the beginning i joined. It's wasn't something big but it was something and as times passed on it had multiple impacts both in my internet and real life. Let me break it down and be more clear as to what exactly that impact and changers were:

1) Be More Organized

That's the first above everything that steemit helped me with and the impact on my life was huge, at least for me. In general i am not a person that you gonna call "organized" but in order to keep up, obtain some followers, make some friends and as a result earn some rewards i had to be.

So Steemit changed me completely in that aspect and i obtained the organization skills i lacked. The way i obtained that skill was by making one post per day and in general making a bunch of posts per week while at the same time commenting on others. 

Later on this whole thing helped me once again by having consistency both in my college and work! Fast forward to now that i started out working out again in the gym haven't missed a day of training yet. Knowing myself if i hadn't been on Steemit and affected like that then i would be sleeping all day :P

That's the most important thing i consider earning from Steemit that affected my life in general! 

2) Learning More - Learning New Things

Generally speaking i am not a person that's gonna read books and learn new things,that's basically out of boredom even though i learn easily. Now because Steemit as i mentioned above gave me the organization and patience skills that i needed, i focused on learning more about the whole platform.

As a result of this and because everyday i mostly spent at least 3-4 hours in the platform i read way too many posts from other users. That not only game me the opportunity to find and talk to some awesome people out there but i learnt a lot of new things i completely was unaware of.

Learning new things not only had an impact in my development and grow here but generally helped me in my life as i absorbed info about different things that probably had to spent quite the time to learn by just searching the web, let alone by reading a book! 

3) Crypto Introduction

Before Steemit i knew nothing about cryptos, just the name of the Bitcoin so i got the chance to learn a little bit. I don't consider that i learned to much but that's due to me and my research. Still it's a lot more than the average guy out there!

Now as far as it concerns the impact on my life that thing had, was to take some risk and buy extremely small portions of bitcoins and litecoins. Probably, to most that may sound as nothing but to me taking risks was something i was afraid of doing so especially when that means spending some of my earnings to achieve it. Buying some other cryptos game me the confidence and happiness i needed! 

4) Meeting New People

The impact on meeting new people is always different but yet the same. New people that get into your life either by meeting them personally or just by just talking over the internet always make you see different perspectives, learn new things and find common grounds with them.

It makes you realize that we are not so different after all and that you can always find good and bad people out there. The part that had impact in my life was the kindness of those people i met here either that's called a strong welcoming, or helpful tips, or guidance, mentorship, constructive criticism etc etc

Having received all of this something changed in me and i wanted to give back to so i started doing the same here too. The awesome thing that i did not expect was to start be kinder to people around me even if i didn't know them before! That's what i call an impact!

5) Earnings 

The final thing that had and has an actual impact is the fact that everyone can earn money here. It's not so easy as it sound but it's true. Earning money from your home, sitting in your chair comfortably and use that money for whatever the heck you want is totally amazing and gives you a personal satisfaction.

The awesome part is that this affected my life deeply cause basically i entered a platform i randomly found in which i earned money without spending a single $$ and at the same using that money for investing in other cryptos or as i said buying stuff i need or want!

I agree and can somewhat relate to all the things you said here. And man that was fast! Good Luck in the contest! :)

Before Steemit i knew nothing about cryptos, just the name of the Bitcoin so i got the chance to learn a little bit.

If it wasn't for December's BTC market price where BTC was being valued more than gold and was shared a dozen times by some of my friends on FB, I honestly wouldn't take interest on this crypto thing. What's funny though is due to my searching for ways on how to earn free Bitcoin online, it eventually lead me here on Steem. Probably the greatest google search I have done in my life lol

hahaha i can relate to that too :P i was searching for free ways to start with bitcoin and ended up here :p

For me, I think the biggest impact is how it helps me step out of my comfort zone. Before Steemit, I'm usually way more reserved in terms of sharing my thoughts to the world. Now, I'm less afraid of judgment and more appreciative of the feedback.

yees you are right, you even made a video for a challenge and i remember you said you haven't done this ever so you exceeded as you said your comfort zone (i far from this video-step though) :P
