Remember the journey is sometimes more important than the destination.
-Unknown-

I would generally find this quote quite cliché, but it really came to heart in this specific situation.


Setting targets for yourself is very important. If you have no drive, or something to work towards, then what are you really even doing anything for?
With that being said, setting goals are crucial, as well as hitting those milestones.

It's been quite an incredible journey so far. It feels as if I have been here far longer than the actual amount of time. At the same time, life feels like it's moving way too fast lately!
I think my biggest lesson here so far has been the simple 'do not give up' attitude. Just making sure things play their part, and being confident in your abilities. That way of thinking can really help a person go the extra mile.
Having that hustle mentality can also do wonders in progress.

I remember reading a book once about making leaps of progress. Doing something called a 'launch'. That is what is needed to really take off in anything you want to achieve. That is also where @grantcardone's 10X Rule can relate very well. I just mentioned @grantcardone, so there is a 70%+ chance that @stackin is going to post his picture of him and Grant here! :D I'm laughing hard when typing this!! @stackin, stay awesome bro!
I don't want to try and be any kind of guru. My words are simply what I am experiencing, and the way I truly feel. You may take from my word however you would like.

You know, satisfaction is a strange thing to accomplish. In our heads, we think that we will be satisfied when we reach a certain destination in progress, however that satisfaction is never as strong as we think it will be.
I sort of have that reaction to my current progress on Steemit, if I am being honest. I have been told multiple times that my current progress has been impressive considering the time period of which I have been here, but I feel like it has not been good enough. 'Did I maybe set my standards too high?' That is the question rolling in my head. However, at the same time, not being satisfied is also one of my biggest motivations to work harder.

I am very grateful to have found this platform this year, compared to missing even more opportunity in the next few years. Although the people who were working their blog's here last year had a ton more opportunity, we still have incredible potential to do amazing things here. For that, I am feeling an utter sensation of abundance!
This post was actually a little delayed. I reached 2000 followers about 13 hours ago already, but had to finish my previous post series. I also reached Rep 64, and 6500+ posts today.
Here is a snapshot I took just when I reached 2000 followers, about 13 hours ago:

Ahh thank you Karen! I appreciate that :)

Yeah, I can imagine! I mean, then again, you guys had killer rewards back then too :D Cannot wait for round 2!!

Glad we met :) Stay awesome. See you around!

Thanks you too!

2K in under 3 months?

Haha, you blow me away once more. Well, done!


I can relate to the fealing that we never can appreciate our situation. I am just about one week longer than you here and also have had a pretty nice run so far. But not as good as you. So there it is, the nagging feeling of you could and should have done more. But I guess it is ok!

Because then we can see the potential of what we can achieve with 10x more power.

Amen to that brother. I suppose that was a pretty solid example of the satisfaction.

It's just a constant game of improving. I think the most important thing is simply be honest with yourself. Not selling yourself too short by trying to make the situation better than it is.

Just being real, and identifying your true progress. For example, my current progress has been with 40% focus. The rest of the time, even though I've been here, has not been productive time. So just admitting that will take you a long way.

Now it's just time to come in harder and stronger :)

I'm liking the picture GIF bro. Taking some action I see. Oh and.. I appreciate your kind words :)

Right, I am also quite inefficient currently. Only four posts a day a few dozens of comments is not enough. I think it could probably be twice as productive as I am now each day. At least.

I learn from the best! Step by step towards becoming the King of the Pirates!

Wonderful progress, Zane! More amazing is the fact that in just last 13 hours you got another 75 follows but I don't miss to see that you made 151 posts during this same time. Hundred and fifty posts in half a day! Man, you are hyperactive!

I can feel ya, why you feel your progress is not good enough according to your expectations. It's not just about 86 days, you have poured in all of your soul here ...and your soul is priceless. No amount of figures can match what you are putting in here. May you reach and surpass whatever goals you have set! Best wishes & much Love!

This comment gave me goosebumps! Thank you for that.

you made 151 posts during this same time.

WOW really? :D I didn't even realize haha. I am just going, not staring at the numbers all day. I'll check the post count in the morning, then again in the evening, but not so much while I work :)

Man this entire last part was really awesome to read. This I appreciate your kindness! Like you said, no money in the world can compare to real heart and soul. I totally agree.

See you again soon my friend :)

Go Big or Go Home 10X Attitude... when you ever get to Las Vegas, Roll by the "STACKIN" Mansion one of these days... We can have a Steemit Party lol

Go Big or Go Home 10X Attitude...

Oh definitely. It has to happen! Big things to come!

Fine, Throwback Video 😅🤣😂

Dude, that message in the video is actually really solid. Spelling doesn't make a Best Seller!! :D Love it.

That video creation to writing is genius too. I will definitely do that when I write my book.

Nice one.

Haha, I like your style. This circle of people here is boosting with motivation. I love it.

10x

Totally agreed! All the way up :)

People stealing my style all over steemit 😂🤣

You plane the path for us and we take it from there.

It's actually your attitude and drive that attracted me to your post on the platform. I fell in love with Steemit as soon as I saw it. It's taking me a while to get some traction going as I have had to shift priorities from other adventures which were consuming my time. Steemit is now where I congregate every free moment I get. I Upvoted, Resteemed, and I have been following your posts because I am a fan. Keep going and I will keep following!

Man that's brilliant to hear. Thank you for letting me know :)

Well then.. Makes two of us hahaha! This is an incredible platform, and I am very grateful that I do not waste my time on Facebook and Instagram anymore.

I am a fan. Keep going and I will keep following!

I appreciate that! I will try my best to keep you guys on your toes! Thanks for your awesome comment!

setting goals are crucial. That's why I make list of everything.
The first thing in my Steemit list is the one that you say 'do not give up' Is hard for me, I'm still so new. But I'm having so much fun with this
It's great that you are so transparent, truly you and that's why you are so successful, people love real people. Believe me we all are getting that motivation!
Steem On. You rock !!

Writing a list of tasks is such a good way to be more productive and organized!! Nice going :)

'do not give up' Is hard for me

You are doing a great job. Don't sell yourself too short my friend :) Your content is really awesome, and I see potential in you. I like that you are so open to new ideas. That is a trait that will take you far!

Believe me we all are getting that motivation!

It's sometimes really nice to hear straight up your reaction :) I appreciate that. Sometimes it can be difficult to understand what people want, but it's awesome hearing your opinion of how you are taking my content.

Thank you for that :)

Thanks to you to giving us all this great stuff that help us in many ways.
And thank you for believe in me and my potencial. Trying my best so far
You make a beautiful job also for the great feedback you have in all this comments.
You have amazing followers!

Ahh Jessy of course :) Don't sweat it!

Trying my best so far

I know you are. That is why I am giving you my attention, because I appreciate that. You are a real lady-hustler! One of these days you will be at the top of your game, and you will be an inspiration to many. I see a lot of @sweetsssj's characteristics in you. And that woman is to this day, my biggest inspiration on this platform.

You make a beautiful job also for the great feedback you have in all this comments.

Thank you :) I feel if someone takes the time to give my content appreciation, then they deserve my time. You are one of those amazing followers!

Oh damn, so many comments already what should I say now :D?
Like always I am telling you what I think!

For me, ​you are a​ prime example for many others here.
Your current success on this platform did no come from just sitting around and looking what could happen.

No, you put and are always putting so much energy in every action​ you made.
It's simple math if someone calculates​​ well. And this is for me really impressive.
6500 Posts in 86 days? This is a kind of masterful performance.

Dont get me wrong i wouldnt say this if i dont mean it that way.

You are an example for many here, that the goals they have on this platform​ is possible someone before and other made it already. Like you said its just the beginning.

For the future I​ wish you all the best, may help people like you are actually doing!

My man! I appreciate this message :) There are some comments here yeah, but I take dedicated time for each and every one. So don't worry about the others, because when I read a comment, I focus on that specific one :)

Thanks for that.

I appreciate your kind words!

I think there are far too many people going around life with their hands in their pockets (If I'm being honest). I think having someone who can pave the road for those people.. Showing them what is possible.. That is very important.

Thank you again for your kind words. Keep up your good content by the way. I appreciate someone who puts in the effort to make something better.

I have to thank you for taking time to write an answer and also for your encouragement :)

I've been following you through this road and I'm very proud, you give us minnows hope, keep being humble and keep being yourself as always, Cheers!

I've been following you through this road and I'm very proud

You don't need to remind me bro ;) I know who my OG's are haha! You are one of them.

Thanks for your kind words and support. It's really awesome to witness!

Just check out those milestones and your age here on Steemit. Woah boy you really KNOW what you're doing.

Hey a shout out: My friend (who referred me to Steemit) @ghulammujtaba is doing something for a cause and I believe you should take a look at it whenever you get time. I don't think he gets much exposure on his posts but the work he's doing is extraordinary. He interviews people from Slums and streets and writes about their stories here.

Check him out here: https://steemit.com/@ghulammujtaba

Just check out those milestones and your age here on Steemit. Woah boy you really KNOW what you're doing.

Thanks brother! I appreciate that :)

I actually have seen @ghulammujtaba a few times in the last week. His content is awesome! Thanks for that recommendation. Very humble of you!

I am glad you have seen his work and found it nice. I have another recommendation just ready but will send her profile to you next week. I am SURE you're going to love what she does on her blog but doesn't get much attention.

Yeah man. I actually think he approached me.

Awesome :) Let me know!

Omgsh! I just realized, you created the shark logo for @surfermarly! I've seen your work before. Congrats and cheers to your success. ❤

Hey my friend :) Oh you remember :D That's pretty awesome!

Yeah, that was really just me having some fun haha. I enjoyed the experience and the vibes of the contest far more than I did the money I made in the prize :)

Did you also enter? I think I remember that's when I saw @xaero1 upvote everyone else's except mine :D I got so annoyed hahaha!

And hey! You just repped up as well! Cheers to your success here :) Lady-Boss. I have given you a follow!

of course! Your style is unique. I dig it! :) awwww I'm sure @xaero1 did not mean to leave you out. Are you buddies with him? @xaero1 is one of my favorite people on Steemit. Dunno where he went... its been like 2 weeks since I talked to him... so sad, I miss our little comment banters! LOL

hahah lady boss... I like the sound of that :)

Thanks for the compliments :)

We were actually chatting nicely the other day, and yeah, he just disappeared. He's probably just busy :) Got lot's of work with his trading I think.

You don't even need to ask. Of course I would do that! :)
