Maybe it's my age or because my 93 year old father passed a few days ago but something feels amiss when I share my honesty and gifts on steemit. Have we become a society that focuses on the rewards and the end result? I prefer focusing on the process of life but that can become an intense way to live in a materialistic, competitive society. In the "free market" we meet all kinds of people with different agendas, values and purpose. When I focus on numbers it seems to take the steam out of my natural energy flow so I live spontaneously in the moment and follow rivers more than I do people but I have been an avid reader here. My personal wisdom is that our audience finds us and my focus continues to be more on the means than the end. I don't think energy ever ends; it merely gets blocked and unevenly distributed by forces within and beyond our control. There may be short cuts to success and some people will sell you the secret but at the end of the day or the end of your life, love is all that you take with you. Bringing more real heART into this "business-y" cyber portal is a tough gig but I am grateful for those who have one here. Your heART is the reason I stay not the chump change.
