RE: Appreciate it

So...Firstly, thank you @acidyo for your support almost from the earliest moment I arrived on the platform. I appreciate it more than I could probably express.

Secondly, to anyone else who has supported me along the way, read my posts and engaged, I thank you too. You and engagement are what this platform is all about.

As a @curangel curator I have put 671 posts forward for some vote-love and will continue to do so. In curating I have found many worthy content-creators who struggle to receive much reward, but continue to push forward anyway, provide great content and engage with others around them in the community.

This curation concept, along with other similar concepts, which promote good content and assist to build the community are a valuable part of our ecosystem and, in my humble opinion, are one of the key elements in building a better steem and user retention. I am pleased to be involved and will continue to curate in this way - I can't think of something, anything that would persuade me otherwise.

This platform contains a cross-section of society and, as history shows us, society is made up of many people willing to take action under the [often] limited understanding they have of the greater design.

With that in mind, it makes sense that I take action under the same premise. That's why I post with some passion and personality, write my posts myself and use original content. That's why I engage openly with other users, and not simply within a closed wank-circle. That's why I curate for curangel.

Something I learned a long time ago is that above all-else in life, one needs to be comfortable "within oneself". It is, after all, OURSELVES who we have to live with 24/7.

I've known many who simply cannot face themselves, you know, within the recess of their own being they feel uncomfortable, awkward, out of place, unvalued, weak, insignificant and powerless, for whatever reason. It is often those unfortunates who, through weakness, pride, ego and hubris, allow the rotten, cancerous and decayed thought to come manifest in life outside the dim recess of their own mind, in the outer-world; The community.

I'm glad I learned this concept at an early age through a decent up-bringing, life's-lessons, trial and error, success and failure, research and reading...It allows me to move forward with ownership and responsibility, for myself and actions, together with an ethos of humility and kindness towards myself and others.

Anyway, that's about it right now. I'm off to write a post about Star Wars because I'm excited about seeing the last instalment tonight. I'll end with my post signature which I have recently amended with a saying I remind myself of daily.

Tomorrow isn't promised - Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default
