0.000 HBDI hesitated writing an introduction... Until Now
 When I joined Steemit just a few days ago, I wasn't sure if I wanted to post my true identity or not. Now that I love this community, understand it more, I feel such a great connection with this platform and the people. So here it goes... My name is Matthew Jay. I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada! The picture above is at the top of a mountain in Muskoka, Ontario... One of the most beautiful places just a couple hours north of Toronto. Below skyline of Toronto when I was on the ferry.  I have been self-employed for 6 years as a Real Estate investor, Stock trader, and recently started an E-commerce website. Beside business, my main hobbies are staying active by going to the gym and any outdoor activities. Self development such as mindset, energy, growing into your best self, is one of my favorite topics to talk about. I love to know how our minds, body, emotions all work to become a better person. It is one of my more important aspects of my life. Travelling is another important one for me, I love learning, seeing new places, and history... real life stuff! Look out for blogs on all these topics.  As an investor and stock trader, life at times can get very isolated. I've realized how important it is to connect with others on a daily basis, in person and online. Without it, you can drown in your own thoughts and be very pessimistic. Life cannot be truly lived in isolation and be only about money. Life is about helping others, this is when we feel our best..contributing. So why not work on projects with people that help people?! This is why I am super excited about Steemit! https://steemitimages.com/DQmbo8416rp3kWCJtyGrxwXstivhkdVer2LLE9u3yAWhhGi/image.png I want to grow with a community, share, and learn. This platform is everything I have been looking for. I really hope I can turn this into a reality, to write unique great content, connect and learn with others. Just typing the words gets me going! This is exactly what I plan to do. Write great content for others to connect and grow with in our most interested topics. I come from no social media background so any support you can give would be so greatly appreciated!  Here are a couple posts I've done so far and what you can expect from me: Be Yourself and change your life for the best https://steemit.com/friends/@bitdollar/be-yourself-and-change-your-life-for-the-best Why you should never use the word try https://steemit.com/success/@bitdollar/why-you-should-never-use-the-word-try-and-many-others These are my written pieces but will be doing lots of daily blogs of my everyday life also. Now I don't want to give away everything about myself in this one post, as I feel like I can write another 50 pages, lol. I will however give you one more personal nugget of information about me. The rest will have to wait for upcoming blogs. My girlfriend of 5 years is the love of my life. She has just joined Steemit also and I have to give her a huge shout out, of course!  Feel free to follow and check her out also @izzylira We will be doing some collaboration blogs, so look out for those! There you have it! My introduction. I hope you enjoyed this, the support means a lot. Feel free to connect with me and talk about anything! Love, Matthew
