Waiting shouldn't be the focus.
<html>
<p>I've been struggling with my Steem mood and haven't been able to figure out why. &nbsp;Yeah, traffic is down a bit, so is all crypto traffic, and the price isn't exciting. &nbsp;Yeah, well that is a good time to post. &nbsp;I know it in my head, but I've been having trouble following through.</p>
<p>I realized today, why I've been feeling kind of stuck.</p>
<p>If the future is SMTs and Communities and that changes how I interact with Steem then it is hard to figure out what I am doing in the meantime.</p>

<p>In life I've learned if I find myself waiting for something before I do a thing, then I get impatient and the daily tasks feel tedious.</p>
<p>I realized that is where my head is at in Crypto. &nbsp;I am just going through the motions of today, while I wait for something else.</p>
<h1>I've Been Waiting</h1>
<p>Waiting for the Market to move, waiting for SMTs and Communities, just waiting.</p>
<p>However, if I am looking into the future I am discounting what interesting things could happen today. &nbsp;I've been feeling like I have writer's block... EVERY DAY. &nbsp;No longer do I have the days where my mind is writing three posts and having to pick one to actually focus on. &nbsp;Instead each day is the struggle of looking at a blank screen and wishing it was full of interesting things. &nbsp;I thought I was getting burnt out.</p>
<p>Today I realized it is because I have been waiting too hard. &nbsp;It's okay to perform today, read today, make a great post today and most importantly focus on Today instead of waiting. &nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, things may change, market conditions, the front ends the community may grow or shrink. &nbsp;Spiritual people talk about enjoying the journey not just the outcome. &nbsp;I have been forgetting to do that.</p>
<p>Also if I imagine something is wrong with how things are today, I actually create that feeling state. &nbsp;</p>
<p>I know it sounds super corny, because I used to know a guy who said this too often:</p>
<p>Within Acceptance Lies the Solution. &nbsp;- &nbsp;As corny as it sounds it is often my solution. &nbsp;Accept things as they are today, or accept the price of changing them.</p>
<p>So, instead of waiting I am going back to posting on SteemIt as is. &nbsp;Reading the posts on my feed and engaging with those I find the most interesting. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Maybe my mood will follow. &nbsp;</p>
