<div class="text-justify"> <center>_We can build a tower of ideas and turn them into reality, if we focus on what we want it sounds like something that only happens in movies but the truth is that in Steemit dreams can come true, with motivation and vision to the future to achieve what we want._</center> When I read about the contest that @dobartim was doing, I was really excited. FINALLY A CONTEST IN WHAT I COULD EXPRESS FREELY. If you want to know more, [Enter Here.](https://steemit.com/steemitultimatechallenge/@dobartim/36t9do-steemit-ultimate-challenge-8-weeks-prize-fund-2000-sbd-week-7-registration-is-in-progress-last-week) <center>**WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE**</center> Steemit has come to my life as an unexpected Christmas gift, like when you feel you gain something for the first time or when you meet good friends who take that time to share with you and show you that you can count on them when you need them. Each start is difficult and full of obstacles to overcome, but with Steemit have come to me endless opportunities that I want to share with others, I will not be an expert in the creation of Blogs. But if I have something that gives me that push to follow in Steemit, it is the desire to help others. As I have received the support of this wonderful community. During my time at Steemit I have learned a lot and this has changed the way I see things, everything comes at the time no matter the time or the place everything depends on the opportunities that may arise and the ability we have to take advantage of them 100% . Thanks to the Steemit community I have been working on a project called Group DudeLand (Land of Friends). This project was born thanks to a whole community of heroes. <center></center> > You are wondering, thanks to steemit? as well? Good for more than a month between this magnificent platform, thanks to the recommendation of an old friend of the University, who recommended me 100%, and if I remember correctly told me it is the social network of the future. Since then I have been publishing things that I like, such as video games, movies, a bit of everything. But a few weeks ago I stopped publishing since I was going through a very difficult economic situation, where my salary almost did not reach me at all and that had me very worried, also in a few months I will become a dad and imagine that a baby It brings with it great expense and responsibility and unfortunately my country is going through the worst economic situation. Of course I am very excited with my new role of being a father, it is the best thing that has happened to me in my life. Good continuous, a few weeks ago I could change $ 16 for a very good sum of money, which helped me buy 76% of the things my baby will need, among other things. That was thanks to Steemit who gave me a financial break, which to this day I can not believe. This made me think about many things, the momentary solution to solve my economic problems came to my life, but I also had the opportunity to help other people who are really going through a very difficult situation and who do not have any kind of support. But why wait for others, if I can collaborate and be a small piece of change for my country. In those days I contacted several food sales outlets, to see if they had sacks of rice, flour, pasta, etc. for sale. The majority did not have these products, which is not a surprise for the Venezuelan, since our country is in a situation in which the products of the basic basket are not obtained. But from so much searching, I was lucky enough to chat with a Chinese merchant who was willing to sell me a certain amount of products every time they came to his business, since like all Venezuelans they only sell us 2 kilograms of bread flour or 2 kilograms of rice per person, this makes the Venezuelan's daily life more difficult, without counting that economically many people do not have how to buy, or simply not enough for everyone. After matching the amount of products that I would sell and make the payment, I went to the house of some friends to tell them about my project and encourage them to get involved with steemit. After hours of talks and laughter, the DudeLand Group was born, which in Spanish will be called the Land of Friends. Our vision is to create in each one of Venezuelans that seed of hope and faith in what each one of us can achieve, if we give ourselves from the heart and give 100% of our passion to make our dreams and goals come true. I am grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to have met this platform so marvelous and full of very kind people and full of passion and love for what they do. I am convinced of the brotherhood that exists within the steemit community, and of the faith that many have when they open their hearts to other people, those who day by day are contributing reciprocally inside and outside the steemit community, I present this Project, with which we will continue demonstrating how the steemit ecosystem can be part of our communities. <center></center> **Project Dudeland** is for communities that need support to move forward and grow, opening our hearts to leave indelible marks in their lives. It is an Active and Constant project that is generated from the interest of the steemians in contributing a grain of sand in this sea of opportunities. The communities and institutions that have been supported by the Project Dudeland (Land of Friends) have benefited from donations of food and school supplies for the little ones, this has been possible thanks to the entire Steemit Community. <center>**I invite you to know a little more about the donations made:**</center> * [Donation of 100 arepas with fruits and recreational activity for the Turmero special training school with the support of the Steemit community!](https://steemit.com/steemit/@bigdude/donation-of-100-arepas-and-fruits-and-recreational-activity-for-turmero-special-training-school) * [Provision of kitchen supplies and study Material to the School for Children with Special Needs Thanks to YouAreHope and the Steemit Community](https://steemit.com/youarehope/@bigdude/provision-of-kitchen-supplies-and-study-material-to-a-school-for-children-with-special-needs-thanks-to-youarehope-and-steemit) * [Donation of school supplies to the children of the Argelia Laya School thanks to the support of the Steemit Community](https://steemit.com/community/@bigdude/donation-of-school-supplies-to-the-children-of-the-algeria-laya-school-thanks-to-the-support-of-the-steemit-community) * [Donation of School Supplies to the Cristina Baptista School with the support of the Steemit Community](https://steemit.com/steemit/@bigdude/donation-of-school-supplies-to-the-cristina-baptista-school-with-the-support-of-the-steemit-community) * [Donation to the Dining Room "Virgen Del Perpetuo Socorro" With the support of the Steemit community](https://steemit.com/steemit/@bigdude/donation-to-the-dining-room-virgen-del-perpetuo-socorro-with-the-support-of-the-steemit-community) * [Working for a better Future "Group DudeLand" (My project) Thanks Steemit](https://steemit.com/steemit/@bigdude/working-for-a-better-future-group-dudeland-my-project-thanks-steemit) But this does not end here, we will continue to work every day with care to continue creating more ideas and realize them in the coming weeks. Remember to be aware of upcoming publications to find out about aid projects and contribute your grain of sand. Share your joy to see this post leaving your comment of support to all who made this great project possible. <center>**Think about it, all these works are achieved with our given upvotes. It is not a donation of money, or any work that you have to do, just by clicking on the mouse.**</center> <center>**The Fuel that ignites the Motor of Perseverance**</center> The fuel for long-term perseverance is that of long-term vision and depth. Human beings prefer the immediate good, a person can use a drug that at the moment of administering it to his body perceives sensations that he likes, but he does not care that his body is damaged in the long term. That myopia causes us to do great nonsense in our lives for instant satisfaction. The point is that with perseverance, we must have the strength not to get carried away by the easy and the comfortable, in exchange for getting something bigger and better in the future. If we see life with superficiality then we will let ourselves be carried away by the immediate things. In life there are unique moments that fill our life with unique feelings that make you vibrate and generate in you the feeling of freedom, and love for the little things that life gives you. At a certain moment we focus on the material and we forget that this world has much to offer us and we lose time in that world full of duties and occupations that invade every second of our lives, that drown us and do not allow us to embrace that small gift that that's life. <center></center> <center>**FINAL THOUGHT**</center> Within Steemit there are endless projects that have great ideas, others that are in full growth as well as some projects with more humanitarian purposes that really leave the name of steemit at the top of the world filling the entire community with pride . These projects generate enough energy in this platform to continue working on innovative projects. This brings a great responsibility, since our most loyal followers are waiting for good content and ideas that can help us grow as a group and we can share this knowledge with the other users that make up the Steemit family. We must take into account each factor that allows us to develop and act efficiently to each of the challenges that may arise. Life is a box of surprise that can change our lives at any time, let us be the perfect instrument to embrace life and love what we are. </div>
