If you already are a dolphin or whale, skip reading this post and go directly to upvote. Thank you. :V JK

But in case you are still a minnow just like me... This post is for you!

And let me tell you this:

## The first step to stop being a minnow is stop thinking like one!

Stop thinking your upvote is worth nothing!
Stop thinking that growing is impossible!
Stop thinking no one is ever going to notice you!
Stop thinking your posts aren't good enough!
Stop thinking you are the smallest fish in the tank!

Take all those negative thoughts out of your system, find your path and follow it. Modify it if necessary, adapt and keep growing, and very important: keep learning. 

## If you want to earn you first have to Learn!
Learning is one of the keys in steemit to keep growing. Learn from the others, from what they write and what they do. Everyone has something to teach (some teach what not to do).

U.ú and yes. I like to see myself as a very cool dolphin, because that's my goal. Although two months ago I was pregnant and I could actually see myself as a whale in the mirror LoLs

I hope I didn't bore you with this post. But really, consider changing your mind to possitive ;D
