It´s over 9,000!! | A Vegeta Follower Milestone and a Cave exploration

Holy hell. I am now the 185th most followed person on Steemit. Take out the project accounts and the follow everyone so they follow me back accounts and I´m the 83rd most followed account.

I stopped doing milestone posts when I hit the 2k follower mark, not because I don´t like to do them - I mean, who doesn´t like to celebrate milestones - but because I realized some of these posts have a negative impact on some people and rather than encourage them to keep striving to grow organically on Steemit, they get disappointed when they compare themselves to the person posting a milestone and, sometimes some people can even start comitting spam or abusing the platform in an attempt to grow faster.

But the Vegeta milestone is one you can´t miss, I couldn´t let it pass through that easily without some sort of celebration.

This is awesome, as it comes a few days before I turn one year on Steemit. I openen my account on the 22nd of April 2017, but my first post was made on the 27th, so for me that date is my real birthday and I don´t care what anyone else has to say, my birthday is on the 27 :D

Anyway guys. I don´t do it but if you feel like doing it, celebrate your milestone. I´m going to quote myself:

We are so blinded by someone else´s definition of success that oftenly we ignore these small achievements because we think they don´t matter, we are so obsessed with the main goal that we miss out on the opportunity of being happy about the petty accomplisments.

This is not about conformism, it is about recognizing that in every situation or experience, we have something to learn and to celebrate. Don´t let other people lose their way just because things are not happening the way they think they should.

So celebrate your Steemit milestones, just make sure to be clear on how much effort, dedication, hours and sweat you put into building your account, so people are aware that these milestone do not come easily and we must earn them, no one is going to give them to us.

I didn´t want to do a milestone post because I have some autovoters, and it feels like I would be abusing their trust by posting only the Vegeta milestone. But I was also planning on posting a visual tour around a cave I explored in Southern México a few weeks ago, so I decided to give you a sneak peek for the cave :D
