If you are a person that thinks other people have an easier life then you, you might not know their whole story. Many people do not talk about how hard their lives really are. Many people keep all the bad things that happen in their lives to themselves.

Keeping all the really bad things that have happened in your life to yourself is a personal choice. Some do it because they don't want false sympathy from people. Some do it because they don't want to be known for what has happened to them but want to be known for who they are.

Blogging or my new favorite term Ulogging is a way to get to know someone. People will share many things in a blog/ulog if you look and read close enough.

Do you know how many hours a person puts into working on their blog every day? Do you know many hours they don't sleep because they want to get a post out? Do you know how long it takes them to come up with an idea to post about?

No. You are not them. You might think you have an idea but really you do not know for sure what a person goes through, how much work they put into making their personal blog as best as they can.

What really goes into making a Steemit Blog/Ulog account.

Answer: A lot of time, hard work, learning, commenting, writing, rewriting, time and hard work.

If someone is able to say this is not true I, personally, would find it hard to believe. I'm not saying it can not be done but very few people ever receive the golden ticket.

In the video below I used gardening as an analogy to making a blog/ulog.

Everyone has a life. You might not find your life interesting but if you are honest and write from your heart about your life, what you really feel, people see and feel it. They will come back to your blog to read more.

Building a following takes time and hard work. We all have things we have to overcome to be able to get to where we are in this world. No one's life is easy. Try to keep that in mind while building up your Steem account and your blogs/ulogs.
