This is exactly why, in spite of very low payouts for work I spent a lot of time on, I am still committed to producing as much content as I can for Steemit.

While the price of STEEM is so heavily undervalued, I aim to acquire as much of it as I can. When looking at my profile, I pay no attention to the dollar value of my account. If I did, I would probably have given up by now.

I focus only on the amount STEEM that I have acquired and what I believe the potential value of it will be in the future. Approaching things from this perspective keeps me motivated and eager to produce as much great content as I possibly can before the price shoots up again.
