Today, I am going to share how my journey on this platform did. I hope after reading this I could inspire and motivate others especially those who just started on the platform.
How many days of thinking about how to deliver this one, finally I decided to tell this through acrostic form. In this way, I can challenge myself to think of how to make this one a success. Making acrostic is not new to me because I did it three times already but thinking about how to form a word out of those letters is a challenge on my part but at the same time, I learned.
Expect that this will be a long article because I will be using all the letters on the title of this article. Before I proceed, I want to thank everyone who greeted and congratulated me yesterday in my double celebration. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
This is it. Let's start!! Truth to be told, this isn't the only account I had. I have had two before but those became a failure. I think those who have an experience like this can relate to this.
Reason, why those accounts were never a success, is that I am a noob in this kind of thing. When I created my first account, I just create it out of curiosity. I just copy my post in noise and then paste it and publish it. I don't know how to write an article before. Never did I research about it also.
Upon realizing that my account was marked as spam, I decided to create a new one. The first week is going smoothly, coz on the first day I was noticed by Rusty already and I also got a sponsor. But things happened unexpectedly, because of my reckless action it became a failure account again.
That time I feel so down. I blame myself for not thinking before making a decision. After what happened, I didn't plan to make another one coz I was thinking what if it will be the same again. Starting a new one isn't easy.
However, after a week of mourning about that failed account, I decided to try again. This time, I just don't write. I am thinking about what things to share and I also downloaded the Grammarly keyboard that could help me in writing my articles. On the first day, no one noticed my first published article. It was on the second day, that I got an upvote and comment.
Many times I felt demotivated. Many times I wanted to give up coz I wasn't noticed yet even how much I tried. I Interacted with many users but not all of them visit my account. I was sad but God is good, He gave me reasons not to give up.
You can do it, self, that's what I told myself every day but there were times that my mind was clouded with negative thoughts. Thoughts that could lose my focus. Thoughts that could blind my eyes to see what needs to be done. Thoughts that could make me give up.
Really, this journey is not easy. My patience is tested. To tell you honestly, I am not patient when it comes to this thing but thank God because other users motivate me. They inspire me with their works. They encourage me that I can do it too.
Every time, I get distracted and demotivated, I just look back on the things that I wanted myself to become. Those goals that I set for myself. Then after getting back on my focus, I continued what I have started. Giving my best and be persistent in everything I do.
After almost a month, my hard work is now paid off. I was happy that finally, God answered my prayer. Waiting is finally over but I didn't stop doing my best. Even if I am noticed already, I still double my effort because this time, I had many goals already.
Desires are what keep me moving up to now. Desiring to accumulate many BCH in my wallet. Desiring to be a good writer someday. Desiring to inspire others with my life story. Desiring to give a good life to my family.
Challenges are part of this journey. After experiencing failure, this time I told myself to be careful with my actions. Once the action is done, I can't undo it anymore so I need to think of it many times so I wouldn't regret it later.
After learning from those experiences, I begin to explore more things in the crypto world. At first, I was hesitant because cryptos are too risky. The money that will be invested in it might be lost but I erase that hesitation.
Several times, I searched and read some articles that can help me with it. Upon reading, I stumbled on some words that are new to me. I look for its meaning so I could fully understand what are those things for.
How many days had passed, my knowledge about crypto is now expanded. I began staking and farming tokens. My September earnings were used to fund my tokens because I wasn't involved in those airdrops so to have those tokens on my wallet, I need to use my own money.
Joining this platform requires lots of patience and perseverance. Patience to wait as to when we will be noticed. Perseverance to keep going until we can reach the success that we want. As we know that success doesn't happen in one blink of an eye, we need to work hard for it.
Opting to join the prompt and challenges that we're made by other users can make us better in writing. I joined the prompt made by @Jonicabradley, then the acrostic made by @McJulez, and then connecting the titles of our articles by @Infinity.
Understand that there were times that we are experiencing writer's block. No ideas and words entered our minds, so don't be hard on yourself.
Remember we are all learning here. If we can't think of what to write today, then let's read other users published articles. That might give us an idea of what to jot down.
Now, I am almost done with this acrostic. Let me share something with you. If you notice that my font style every time I comment is different from yours, it's because I put an asterisk sign at the beginning and the end of my comment. If you want to try then you can try it in the comment section and see if it works.
Every failure teaches us a lesson. It's up to us if we will learn from it or not.
Yesterday may not be good but we must not focus on that. Let's learn and make things better today.
These are my super fabulous sponsors, try checking their articles and surely you will learn from them.
To my upvoters, commenters, likers, and readers. Thank you so much for your time. I highly appreciate it.
Special thanks to @Princessbusayo for renewing the sponsorship!
Happy Sunday!
God bless and keep safe!

Ako din sis, na demotivated ako sa mga nabasa ko na ang dali nila na notice nang robot. Ako kasi once lang ako na notice and I am almost 1 month na hindi na po ako na notice, na down ako baka hindi ako effective writer kaya ganon, pero nabasa ko to. Tama ka! Never give up talaga. Thank you sis
