Greetings @chbartist

Taking an active or passive position is a matter of the aptitude with which we develop our activities.

If we have an active aptitude and clear objectives, we will achieve great progress in a short time

On the contrary, if our aptitude is passive, we surely do very little, and time passes without being able to achieve progress in our objectives.

In order to maintain a positive attitude it is advisable to get good stereotypes, people to follow. In "Steemit" there are many good people to follow and who give very good example of active attitude.
