Start small and don't get tired of growing in the process.

[Hewlet]

One of the most difficult parts of any journey in life is the ability to decide to "start" doing something. So many people have great ideas and plans but they never execute a bit of them because it all ends just in the mind but they cannot bring it out to becoming a reality. If you're able to overcome this stage, you then realize you wasted a lot of time waiting for the perfect time to start and that it isn't all that difficult after all. The next huddle is now on how to continue doing what is expected of you for a long time. You might get bored along the way, results might not be coming In as planned and you might start losing interest in what you so longed for. sometimes you might feel that you overhyped the stuff (just know that familiarity is what is speaking in your mind).
For some, because you've been in the system for a long time, you might be tempted to feel too comfortable and the initial energy you had put into your work at the onset will gradually die off and you might not see any reason why you should develop yourself to becoming better.

If you read through this, you might find this applicable to our journey in the forum. Some of us begged our friend to introduce us to the forum and when we came in, at the onset, our energy was high and we actively participated in the activities in the forum and made sure we followed the rules in the forum and ensured that we are practicing all the guide we receive from the forum But after some time, the energy dies down and the quality of our threads and replies starts dropping. It becomes very boring reading for the sake of knowledge and for some that have discovered the importance of merits, they might just go after merits rather than the knowledge that initially brought them to the forum.

I created this just to encourage myself and as many as will find this useful, to keep following the right part, keep learning, practice the little you've learned, and don't wait until you know everything about Bitcoin before you start applying the knowledge you've received. The process might get boring especially when you aren't getting the needed result but just keep trying and moving forward taking a step at a time.

Many dreams that have stayed unactualized is not that the people were afraid to start they were afraid of failure. The phobia to fail in the in the midst of concomitant thoughts ringing in the head that you can't do it, you may not succeed, those voices are there to make us believe we are less of what we are.

And this is not just about the forum but life in general there are achievements we dare to achieve but we somehow grow a low self-esteem feeling making us look unworthy of that which we strive to achieve. Moreso, a lot of us are afraid of challenges forgetting that they are there to make us stronger and better in each we conquer along the way. And time is of the essence, whatever you fail to do today you may never have the chance to do it maybe after learning how it could have created a positive impact for you life.

At this point of transgression and taking your mind away from what will actually be more beneficiary for you makes your journey more harder than you might think. Focusing on the aim is the best, when you do that and contribute back to the forum, your rise in the forum will become more imminent because you’ll be appreciated with words of encouragement and merits. If you get both, you’re super good and if you get any one of the two, you should continue to strive for more and become a better version of yourself in the forum.

Practice makes perfect, let the learning continues.

I never let anything get me worried, I just do what I love to do and I don't think about it anymore. Here in this forum and life in general I know there is no time but everything has time. If anyone is not getting any of the rewards mention by OP at this time should not worry about it. In a personal level I just read alot and contribute where I know I'm making sense. I don't strive for merit or to rank up I just focused on knowledge, I read people like JJG's thread and many others who are impactful and shape myself to impact on people not just being a regular person here.
I believe making impact is the real success if you do something very well and your known for it the journey here in this forum won't stress you. Do something different and focus on knowing more that you speak, i also discovered that most of us new here try to teach when we should learn and that is where we face challenges. You may be making merit and ranking up but at the same time you may not be making any sense.
Infact just do what you know how to do best. If I keep writing I might end up writing more than a thousand words because I have more to say but let's cut the grab. Be a positive vibe

~MAKEIMPACT~

[nelson4lov]

I liked thread so much that I had to merit it. I relate 100% to majority of the content in the OP — I'm pursuing a new career path and most times it feels as though I'm not doing enough but I wake up with a note to myself that showing up every day is onntop of my priority list.

If I'm happy, I do the work.
If I'm sad or demotivated, I still do the work.

Another worthy point to note is that consistent practice is paramount in any learning journey — if you just learn and never put it into practice, you easily lose all knowledge gains.

Not only Bitcoin part of what you should learn is securing your environment while online, you can't apply everything you know bout Bitcoin without first taking a lesson about security, I have seen people good at investing in Bitcoin only to lose everything because of their poor knowledge of security.
Remember we are our own bank, if traditional banks employ security personnel to secure their facility, then it's much more important for us to secure our environment when we are interacting online.
Knowledge of Bitcoin is attached to knowledge of security, you cannot have Bitcoin without knowing how to secure it, how to secure yourself, and how to secure your machine.

I like newbies thinking the same as your perception on the forum, knowledge first before thinking about profit thinking about how to rank up fast seems like merit hunting forcibly.  Encouragement like this is very important to them because when you have that knowledge or you'll become knowledgeable, merit isn't that hard for you to obtain.

Isn't important for me IMO to become better, joining in a healthy discussion and share ideas is an ideal and a good start here in the forum.
Forget greediness because that will put us down.

Anyone in crypto knows that this is not limited to only having crypto and then start growing gradually with  for others that are limited by power, this just resemble how life is for some people. You will see that some have all the money they need to get started about life, some of them half little and some have nothing at all but for those that have nothing and later have something in the future all plan along despite not having all, crypto is the same about that too.

Some people want to have bitcoin like some of this influencers when they are showing off, I'm not even motivated about them. My own is to have the amount I can afford and if time permit, I can buy more as it goes up and may not but the main thing is you should be able to buy something when you have nothing, even for those who don't understand crypto, they need to start from somewhere and with time, things will improve.

It's possible for every human to experience this part of your writing. Diminishing return occurs in every aspect of life. And one catalyst to it is slow results. Most people who lose their momentum in the forum had lesser results, for reasons best known to them, especially members seeking to rank easily. When the ranking don't  quickly show up they'll definitely stop posting since it seems like their efforts are not being rewarded. It's similar to building a site and having no traffic to attend to, the webmaster won't stick around any longer. Most people here got to the point they're today; in rank. Because, the quality posts they made got merited by other members. It pushes them further to do better and present more quality contents. It's normal to have such a reaction as humans. Staying in a system for a long time can be tiring, that's why people move on to find other things doing. Paving way for new bloods or talents to replace them in providing quality. The journey is never easy. Newbies shouldn't stop showing up on daily basis. The more they're seen the better their visibility. Thereby, creating a rapport amongst other members who wouldn't hesitate to reward their consistent effort in making the forum a clean place. And helping in providing quality, over making spam responses and threads. Every thing requires time and the better we acknowledge this, the more we'll gain knowledge and dig further to find the interesting parts or aspect of the work we've found ourselves into. For instance, reading about bitcoin opens our mind to the greater possibilities behind bitcoin. And presents to us more ideas of what we can do with bitcoin to generate income. Other than that, we can also generate enough connections through the bitcoin community at large. I must commend the OP for crafting out this interesting thread. Keep it up!

Like the saying says "a journey of a thousand miles start with just a step" that step has been the night mare of many people as they think what will befall them if they adjust from their comfort zone while facing the reality of life. Many have been afraid as a result of their predicament and the challenges they have been through. Some are just bothered  of the uncertainties of life while some are just too naive to take a step forward. Some to are just waiting to see who could push them forward as a means of aspiration or support to getting there in life. All still points down to the growing process in life which one must be able to encounter and overcome so as to stand firm and standout amongst the masses. At this point, what most people need is good cheers and encouragement to standout. So if you are in the position to do that better still help because people are really putting efforts to take that step  but what is holding them back is what they can not comprehend.

[Agbamoni]

It's been a while since I've seen quality threads like this. At every point in one's career pursuit, there shouldn't be any point of not being productive because it will limit how fast you would have grown and excelled in that career path.

The starting point always seems difficult, like you cannot make it or grow. There is always a time when you feel like you're stuck and could not continue, but patience and consistency are just what a person needs. If I could remember how I started my web development skill, all the lines of code seemed like counting sands, but with time I became more acquainted with it.

The truth is the more passionate you are about something, the more you will grow and get better at it.

Satoshi Nakamoto and Hal Finney are very first people who did something to create Bitcoin we have today. If you have time and want to learn, want to be inspired by their stories, read theirs.
Satoshi's lesson
Bitcoin and me (Hal Finney)

If they have only thought about it but not done anything even it is very challenging at start, we would have not had Bitcoin blockchain to use.

[Darker45]

Passion is probably the key. Sometimes we're only pushing forward for the wrong reasons. Progress can't be sustained that way. What you do eventually turns into drudgery. You'd grow uninterested and tired. You'd be lackadaisical and produce inferior ideas and contributions, and you'd probably quit in the end. This is true both inside and outside this forum. Here, one can't be motivated solely by signature campaigns. In real life, one can't just be motivated by money alone.

[Amphenomenon]

Perseverance and diligency are among the basic things to become successful or achieved our goal, sometimes the passion dies or fall but we still have to continue because of perseverance and in the long run we later enjoy by God's grace. People always forget that there is beauty in the struggle and ugliness in Success, something I learned from J cole (love yourz)

[Luzin]

Starting something new is the hardest moment. I know there are feelings that are uncomfortable and make you a little lazy, tired, or complaining. Something contradictory and difficult sometimes makes you feel difficult. Yes I am like that too, everyone experiences that. But it all depends on the ability to adapt. Many people start from force. Then people can adjust to the circumstances. After that we will get used to it and assume it is easy. It's not just in the forums, but in our lives. We have done that and only we can determine ultimately to stay in adversity and succeed or come out and not feel the process and not know what is going to happen.

[Sebas.tian]

Starting from small as a newbies can lead you to a greater high in the community,  because every successful users you see in this forum started from somewhere before they became who they are today in the community that is making some newbies feel like they want to become like them in the future. As a newbies, you have a long way to go which I will not lie to you , but if you can work hard to learn from those that read many books that related to cryptocurrency, watch many videos that related to cryptocurrency, research many things that related to cryptocurrency, I believe you will improve in different areas of your journey in the community. I know you will come across so many challenges in your journey to greatness but do everything possible within your capacity not to give up than to be more active in this forum because is a place where newbies be impacted with some new skills that will make their journey smooth till the end.

[NewRanger]

Actually, what you have to do if you have entered this forum is relax and focus, there are lots of opportunities to earn money here, both in knowledge and some passive income, you just need to read the moment.

Indeed, it cannot be denied that there are times when bored ducks are born, there will definitely be times when we are not mod. However, we can use it to refresh and do other activities.

The important thing is to be disciplined in time management.

[Richbased]

There is sense in this thread, sometimes in life we need encouragement from people around us because most times we run into conclusion without taking time to check the content of things we are doing, are they really worth our time? Like what efforts are we making in other to make our environment conducive for everyone of us, at this very period of our lives we need one another to come together and reason on things that can proffer a stable solution to the world rather than get involved in things that will disintegrate or divide us.

Being on this forum for a while now have thought me to know that we are in a global village where the opinion of everyone across the world needs to be respected and appreciated and it can only be achieved through forums of this nature where individuals come together to discuss about things that will elevate us to the next level of our lives.

I have learnt alot in this bitcointalk since I joined my reasoning ability has increased and I don't reason same way as people who ain't in this forum reason as almost everything I've learnt so far are all gearing towards how the world can come together and take decisions that will impact positively in the life of every individual.

[michellee]

Most people have lots of ideas and they are very good, especially if they can be realized. But the problem is most people end up with a lot of ideas without realizing them. They don't want to take even one step to try. And that makes the ideas they have just ideas.

They must be able and willing to try to move on. They have a desire to change their situation for the better but they don't want to try. That's what makes the difference. Other people who may not have good ideas are willing to try all the ideas that come to mind. They don't know which ideas can bring success in the future. They just know that they have to try to move on.

We have to learn from babies. He learned to roll over just to get up. He learned to crawl and even stand. He also failed in many attempts simply because his idea of being able to wake up was not successful in one attempt. But the baby didn't stop trying until he finally succeeded. That's what we have to learn from it. Everything has a process. We have to go through the process so we can achieve what we want. Failure is something we will definitely experience but that doesn't stop us from trying. Sooner or later, we will definitely be able to achieve the targets we want.

[lovesmayfamilis]

The important point here is why people come to the forum. Is their interest in Bitcoin real, or are they hoping to make money here? How can you get bored with something that interests you? In any activity, what we like always remains at the top of our preferences. Why persuade someone to endure, and force them to follow a path that may not be theirs? Bitcoin doesn't need people to be forced to learn it. Everything must happen sincerely.
But if we talk about the fact that someone is afraid to start something new, then it is always better to do and regret than not to do and regret. Always remember people who have achieved something in one direction or another. Can we say about them that they forced themselves to do this without real interest?
