Steem greetings @everyone and welcome to my blog as I share another milestone achieved on the platform. A good way to celebrate the Easter break with you all. It has been an amazing 4 years plus on the platform with consistency and hard work. ![IMG_8083.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaAc6XXpM3bfQEZMW8E4mFAZobVpbHHTjhhfkKqTWabNp/IMG_8083.jpeg)^{*Designed on Canva.*} This post will be some sort of motivational post for newcomers because I believe that all old Steemit users know about being consistent and working hard if you intend to make it through on Steemit. I did not achieve this far using shortcuts. What do I mean by using “shortcuts”? I know with the recent development of AI, many newcomers become too lazy to use their brains to become more creative in ideas but rather go the “shortcut” way to use AI to generate content. I bet you, that by the time you post 2 to 3 articles using AI in different communities and get labelled “AI” users, no genuine author will support your content. It will take the grace of God for you to survive. Also, if you want to achieve on Steemit, stay away from plagiarism because Steemit has zero tolerance for plagiarist. Do not be in a haste to post and then copy someone else intellectual property without proper references or using copyrighted images. Do not paraphrase someone else content and claim to be original. Stop content farming or farming of votes if you intend to grow on the platform. What do I mean by content farming? Some new users and even old users sign on to the platform and along the way get carried by greed and some carry all their family problems to be solved on Steemit. They start farming votes, creating the same content across different communities. If you intend to grow, then avoid all these mentioned above. Last but not least, always power up your liquid steem because your power on the platform is determined by the amount of steem power you hold. Above all, perseverance is the keyword because there are times when it will be difficult and you will feel like giving up. Keep pushing hard because there is gonna be light at the end of the tunnel. I had to claim my reward 91 steem power from a post payoutt achieve 60k SP plus. ![IMG_8081.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdP5TdwxtkGzuN2d8TudhTx8n3TkWNkCBfXEsLF7BhyA6/IMG_8081.jpeg) ![IMG_8082.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRz3V4Q5ueJm6mxMhgHamawQCvPN47ka42AZ8U9kXgC67/IMG_8082.jpeg) I will use this opportunity to thank everyone especially the Steemit team for their support. Without you all, I do not think I would have come this far. Happy Easter holiday to you all.
