Awesome post. Glad you pointed me to it because I took a mini Steemit vacation while HF20 was being worked out.
I'm humbled by your story and how I've helped. It's a perfect reminder for where my priorities were when I first used the platform, before politics and gaming the system soured me a bit to lose sight.
Now I feel super guilty for not bringing the challenge back, although you're probably one of the few non-professionally who actually found the internal fire to keep going to transform yourself. You did every exercise, every time, not me. You should be proud of yourself, have a beer to celebrate, and then run a mile to burn it off.
Your approach to community and people is what I wish others would adopt more. Greed gets people off track, but you've stayed right on course. Try blogging some more about your down-to-earth philosophies when you get the chance to spread your influence a bit. People will appreciate it one by one as your thoughts are shared.
Awesome reply too. Thank you. And I am also humbled. And I might just write some more, inspired by your reflections/feedback.
Please don't feel guilty about the challenge, though. There's a time and place for everything and nothing lasts forever.
My response is late because crazy (but fun) times at work lately.
