While I understand and appreciate this message (as I am sure many of Medium writers can relate with), I do feel like you are selling yourself short.
Success isn't always about financial gain.
You are imprinting in many people's hearts and minds through your writing. You bring glory to God through your writing. You help people through your writing. You are doing more with your writing than people are doing with their day jobs.
The goal is that when you get to Heaven one day you can say: "I did all that I could with what you gave me." And for His response to be, "Well done, my good and faithful daughter."
Your writing is much more than the dollars you earn! 🤍🤍🤍
