Unofficial Leadership Update on the FreeCompliments Community

Dear Community, this time I come to you with not very good news.

I’m certain that a few of you noticed my outburst on Threads a couple of days ago. I’m clearly not in a rational state of mind, and currently not in a position to provide good leadership for this community. I have doubts that anything I have actually contributed has been worthwhile, given that I myself failed to implement it – and I will not be a hypocrite by carrying on the same way. The first part of the Hippocratic Oath involved “doing no harm,” and I intend to make sure that my further actions will do no further harm.

Even though the community here at Hive has been wonderful to me, and I do have the finances to continue this project, my current inability to lead it the right way is going to be a significant hamper. I had intended to build this all to the point that it would be self-sustained and I would only be peripherally involved for major decisions, but we did not yet reach this point. Hence, this has become an early termination of this project.

Not to mention, I had planned on eventually expanding the scope of my posts on Hive, including revealing who I am and posting some of my artwork. In light of my mentally unstable posting, I will no longer do this. Believe it or not, in my field of work (healthcare), mental instability is significantly frowned upon, which is very ironic considering we’re supposed to be the profession of empathy. I will not risk my career nor my reputation this way.

I believe that leaving Hive will allow me to do things for my family that I have neglected. I have been a terrible son and human being. The way I lead my life now is unacceptable. I am not a man, but a petulant, selfish child. I must become better for the sake of my small family. Based on my current behavior, I don’t think I will ever consider myself a true man, but I certainly will attempt to turn into one for the rest of my life (no transgender jokes here, please… I know the phrasing is silly).

My only two options were to end my life or to improve myself as a person, which involves a complete overhaul of who I am. The first option would devastate my family (which I find irrational, given that I feel myself to be a huge burden on them, but again… I’m also not thinking rationally now), while the second option would at least permit me to help them to the best of my ability. Not to mention, the first option would be cowardly and selfish and I’m ashamed that it came to mind at all (although I deserve for it to happen, that’s completely different than using it as an easy way out). Thus, the choice was clear. This overhaul will be very consuming, and with the time needed for my job, I can only do so much.

Thus, I’m going to start dismantling things in the FreeCompliments Community piece by piece. It is not something I will effectively handle anymore.

All promised rewards for October will go out. I will ensure that everything which has been promised thus far will be honored. All rewards, contests, etc., will be completed as normal for October. All jobs will be paid.

However, the first thing that will be removed is the monthly HSBI rewards for Comments and Threads (where 10 comments and or Threads earn 1 HSBI). This is to reduce the time I use in sending out rewards. The associated contests for Threads engagement and overall engagement will also come to an end. Certain jobs for November’s timelines will also come to an end. Finally, the early member rewards for November will also be removed.

Those that were here for the HSBI rewards can thus leave if they wish.

Since I have a reserve of liquid $HIVE on @fc-arbitration (and also some additional $HIVE I was trading from my personal account with the intention of sending over to @fc-arbitation), we’ll likely be able to continue sending out the daily rewards for posts for another month or two. I’ll also keep the curation going throughout November, possibly December.

I’ll discuss the mental health initiative with my Mental Health Ambassadors. I currently pay them using HBD interest (in addition to HSBI), but would prefer to take those funds back. If they choose to continue for another month, I’ll keep this in place.

Threads curation is also something that I can continue for another month, but after that it will end.

I have a lot of medicine posts which I have written and not yet published, so the majority of my remaining posts will involve publishing these. After that, I will request Joseph Savage, the founder of HSBI, to send back the HIVE I contributed for HSBI from my personal account. It will not be an emergent, immediate request, and I have full trust that Joseph will return these as they become available. I will not rush it.

I will keep the community accounts’ HSBI intact for a while. There are some people who earn beneficiary rewards from @hive-140084’s posts, and I intend to schedule those to continue for a long time. Since this account will lose the HSBI that I personally gifted, its rewards will eventually decrease, but not entirely.

Why is this update unofficial? Because I understand that I am currently not in a rational state of mind. I’m genuinely a little bit nuts. Thus, over the course of the next week, as I deliver the rewards and contests for the community per their regular schedule, I am giving myself an opportunity to get back into a more normalized state of mind. Maybe by that point I will change my decision. However, due to the family obligations listed earlier, I don’t foresee this being the case.

Thus, expect a formal, official leadership update sometime in the first half of November.

Conclusion

I am sorry to everyone that I have let down. I hope I have done you no harm. Ultimately, you may continue participating in the community as you see fit. However, it will not be the financially rewarding place that it has been over the past couple of years.

You have been too good to me. I did not deserve your kindness and welcoming nature. My family also deserves better. It is time for me to do the right thing.

You have to take care of yourself and your family first. No shame in that. There is a real problem in the medical community looking down on those with any mental issue, the last thing you need to do is let any of them find out. Ironically medicine and the military are the ones who frown upon it most, and they're the two who should embrace it.

Rebuild yourself and make your life a happy and productive one. There is always time for change and that first step you've already taken, recognition. We all have our ups and downs in life, believe me I know. I hope you can turn things around to the point that you and your family can be proud of the life you choose to live. Good luck with the remainder of residency and in your medical career. It can be very rewarding, but stay away from those mRNA vaccines, they can end your career!

Very well said, brother, and I appreciate your personal experience. Too late with the vaccines... but I only got my first 3 and stayed away after that. Cheers!

And please let me know whether you'd like to extend the MHA payments for another month. I likely won't be involved at all beyond sending out the payments.

Stress kills.

Sounds like you been stressed.

Rewards can wait. Things can get sorted.

Take time to deal with you. And you better not run and lose the friends and people that believe in you.

Directly you helped a huge amount of people.

I'm going through some major things.

I'm back homeless on Saturday.
Truck was down and I fixed it.
Gotta load up and get back to Portland and recover from this waste of 2 months and being talked into being screwed over...

However I can absolutely be here for you!

I know what it's like to have massive stresses.

You gotta restart. Take a break on some things. Delegate to those that will step up and help. Alot of us will.

Asking for help sucks. I had to yesterday. And got it. Oh wow. I'm humbled that people think so much for us to help each other.

If you need someone to talk with... Why didn't you call me?

Hold your head high. You have done some amazing things right off. As will keep doing them.

At least you weren't dumb like me and buy a pack of cigarettes... Although I've been stupid that way twice this year...

I'm sure that I'll remotely stick around Hive for a long time, but primarily for trading. I simply can't put it ahead of other priorities in my life. Not to mention, once I help the ones close to me, make sure that I don't dig myself into this irrational hole again.

Maybe FreeCompliments can continue on without me. I'm just one screwed up person, and this is bigger than me.

Sorry to hear that you lost housing again... did you somehow lose relationship with the master who took you in?

Sorry to here this state. I am sure you can recoup and emerge stronger, your mental health and rebuilding it should be the top priority, everything else can wait. You just sit down with your family...open up completely.....go to any hill station, do meditation, deep breathing has a direct bearing on the state of mind, do that, and heal yourself, once you are healed from within, that energy will radiate outward and your surrounding will suddenly turn positive and your family will also be benefited from your aura. So it might sound weird, but I would suggest you visit a hill station, and such a place where you can seek solace, throw your smartphone or any such communication device(except for emergency purposes) into the dustbin, go for a meditation session, sound meditation, breathing meditation, it will help you tide over this current state.

Stay blessed, my all the best wishes are with you.
🙏🙏🙏

No hill stations in the US, but I get the idea - nature may be a good idea.

Too bad I work 6 days per weeks now, and will spend the remainder of my time on other priorities.

Nevertheless, I can fit in meditation. It's something I told myself I'd do for a long time, and I know it's helpful. Should have begun earlier, but now is as good a time as ever.

Appreciate your suggestions. There are other things for me to do as well, but meditation is a significant addition.

Sure, you can choose any place that has preserved the Nature's calmness. I can tell you from my experience that it will work for sure, you just need to be a bit consistent on that. Do not forget to deep breathe as and when you can in your home or at your workplace. That also works tremendously. Unfortunately in our society, much less have been prescribed for mental health. And everything has been tied to medicines and similar things.

Stay strong, I am sure you can recover and will be a man full of a strong aura after some time.

Always remember one thing---> Real Meditation= State of thoughtlessness

As long as your mind is engulfed with so many types of thoughts you can not heal yourself; you can not be in a state of meditation.

If you deep breathe, it will decongest your mind from random thoughts. So deep breathing is the first step, slowly start focusing on your breathing, which is going in and out and slowly you will observe that you are inching closer to the state of thoughtlessness.

If you achieve this state you will be in a different plane altogether, you will be in absolute bliss.

Try it and feel it.

It's a tough story to read.

I feel your anguish as if it were my own.

We've been sharing a common path for what seems like a long time, and I never imagined that your stopping point would be before mine. I understand your reasons and there's no need to explain further.

You've built a beautiful project here. I remember reading your interview, I believe on the HSBI website, where I learned about your previous attempt to found a community on another network.

Being here is proof of your resilience, and we know (with certainty) of your ability to reemerge as a person and a professional. It's just a matter of giving it the time it takes.

I hope you can face the possibility of a break.

Without a promise or a commitment, just the possibility of your return.

I intend to stay here until then!

It came on suddenly for me as well. Literally a few days ago I was discussing the future of the community.

I don't think it's meant to be at this time, at least not with my continued involvement. Maybe it can thrive on its own accord. We'll see. I'll give it a week's time.

You're among the most dedicated people I've come across, and I'm eternally grateful for what you've done for the community. 🙏

Respected colleague @freecompliments

Do not limit yourself to expressing what you feel. Free yourself, let go, and let go of what does not generate well-being. It is a good start to flow from selfhood to transmit to otherness. At this moment, you need to move away from the convulsive and flow in placidity. Self-love with your loved ones is the best incentive.
You are an example of good leadership, from understanding and comprehension, always with your manifest disposition to solidarity, with empathy, and attitude, prioritizing the collective benefit, exalting with your actions the essence of our Hippocratic oath. Always resourceful, promoting group decisions, valuing your fellow men, cultivating and spreading kindness.
You need to focus on your balance and moderation, with harmony and synchronicity, staying in the present, thinking of yourself, and prioritizing your loved ones. You decide to maintain confidentiality, which is not in discussion, sometimes our profession, well to be honest “some colleagues not all”, forget that above all we are human beings who feel, suffer, get tired, also get sick and a long, etc of conditions of our human nature.
My recommendation is that you do not make decisions a priori, and take the necessary rest for the time you consider, if you consider it feasible to delegate do it, you are appreciated and valued, and we need you with us. Find and recover your rhythm, but above all stay away from everything that does not vibrate in you.
I am here to serve you and guide you if you wish, from the confidentiality that gives us the ethics of medical secrecy, my DM in Discord, is at your service. I advocate for your health and well-being from solidarity and gratitude.

Respetado colega @freecompliments

No te limites en expresar lo que sientes. Libérate, suéltate y despréndete de lo que no genera bienestar. Es un buen comienzo fluir desde la mismidad para transmitir a la otredad. En este momento, necesitas alejarte de lo convulso y fluir en la placidez. El amor propio con tus seres queridos es el mejor incentivo.
Eres ejemplo de buen liderazgo, desde el entendimiento y la comprensión, siempre con tu manifiesta disposición a la solidaridad, con empatía y actitud, priorizando el beneficio colectivo, exaltando con tus acciones la esencia de nuestro juramento hipocrático. Siempre ingenioso, promoviendo decisiones grupales, valorando a tus semejantes, cultivando y difundiendo la bondad.
Necesitas centrarte en tu equilibrio y moderación, con armonía y sincronía, permaneciendo en el presente, pensando en ti mismo y priorizando a tus seres queridos. Decides mantener la confidencialidad, lo cual no está en discusión, a veces nuestra profesión, bueno para ser sinceros «algunos colegas no todos», olvidan que ante todo somos seres humanos que sentimos, sufrimos, nos cansamos, también nos enfermamos y un largo, etc de condiciones de nuestra naturaleza humana.
Mi recomendación es que no tomes decisiones a priori, y te tomes el descanso necesario por el tiempo que consideres, si consideras factible delegar hazlo, se te aprecia y valora y te necesitamos con nosotros. Encuentra y recupera tu ritmo, pero sobre todo aléjate de todo aquello que no vibre en ti.
Estoy aquí para servirte y guiarte si lo deseas, desde la confidencialidad que nos da la ética del secreto médico, mi DM en Discord, está a tu servicio. Abogo por tu salud y bienestar desde la solidaridad y la gratitud.

I appreciate your kind words Marilour! Right now, my family takes precedence for me over everything else. Maybe someday I'll be able to focus on myself, but I do not feel that this is the right time. I cannot be selfish. Your words will resonate in different ways as I continue to improve myself, and hopefully even more so when I regain my rational state of mind.

All the best to you. You've always been a gem and full of incredible words and wisdom, and I hope that you continue to share your thoughts for a very long time.

You got to take of yourself first.

You made a tremendous impact on many, many people here at Hive, not to mention the many people at reddit.

I canafely say that here you have been anything but a terrible human being.

I hope you get yourself in the direction you need to go, and I selfishly wish that you are able to keep being active here.

Either way look after yourself.

You matter!

Stress destroys and there is nothing wrong with taking a step back. Many will see it as weakness, cowardice or incompetence but many aren’t You. You know your limit. You know what works best. You know your breaking point. As long as you are caring for yourself, everything else can wait.

I know how much family can affect us. It’s a huge pillar and a stem in our foundation no matter where we go. When there is tension at home, best believe that tension will sneak into our lives. So I totally understand you. And I wish you the very best. Please look after yourself and come back stronger, wiser and better.

My dearest of all friends, you have been here for me in all times that am down and lost hope. I understand a bit of were it stand with you right now, according to what @crazyphantombr said

there is no need to explain further.

Few days ago when I saw your threads, it made me more curious to know what has happened, but I noticed that something beyond your control at the moment has happened.

I am a failure to the freecompliments community, don't put all blames on yourself. A pillar can't hold a building for long, you have tried as an individual in running almost all the activities in the community behind the scene.

I was never in support of those monthly rewards coming to me because I know I don't deserve them, that's why I have always desire doing things with a free mind expecting nothing in return from who ever an doing it for, because I know that in one way or the other it for humanity.

In my family, several this happened this year even of resent that made me to say and think that I have don't notice more but just a number in my family and i have decided to start doing the needful in my little way...

Who has come to the freecompliments community with the aim of rewards only can kindly step away because the community has already defined in self. "Free" and "compliments" I have always said that "compliments is free, why should you keep it to yourself"?

I time to run the community affair with a free mind, expecting nothing in return. I can't be here and happy to see the Freecompliments community close her eyes in death. @freecompliments, please count on me and am open to learn some things that's we can use in sustaining the community until you are back fully...

You can just be checked on our activities once in a while, but feel free to do the needful in your family.

In all, I pray God that every storm in our lives should stop so that we can have a full concentration and focus for life.... From now on, be free to count on me and other persons that me join me on this adventure...

Much love to you brother.

i was thinking a couple of days ago how much effort you put into free compliments community & that it probably could not be sustainable without help.

I see some good advice from others in the comments re. meditation.

i highly recommend an emotional integration procedure (The Presence Process) which includes very clear and precise instructions for a daily meditation practice during the 10 week procedure. It does not take much time to do this. i have shared this with many people and often receive messages of gratitude for doing so.

In "The Presence Process," Michael Brown offers an illuminating journey into the profound practice of conscious emotional integration, leading readers toward a state of inner harmony and holistic healing. Tired of the relentless chase for external solutions to internal discomfort, Brown invites us to reconnect with our authentic selves by facing and resolving emotional blockages that have accumulated over our lifetimes. Through a 10-week experiential process, he provides practical tools to transform our habitual reactions into mindful responses, cultivating a deeper sense of presence and emotional maturity. Dive into this transformative guide to discover how to break free from the shackles of past traumas and future anxieties, and step into a more present, peaceful, and empowered life.

I'm truly deeply saddened to hear this. I know I've mentioned this before, but I think that you've led this community in an exemplary manner, and I've been grateful to be a part of it.

These are some of the most challenging times in history, my friend, and pretty much everyone that I know is going through very challenging experiences now. It's so easy to fall out of balance. The fact that you recognize it is an indicator that you're in a much better Mental-emotional state than you may believe.

While this news is deeply disheartening, your desire and intention to do the right thing, and work deeply on yourself, is a very good thing. Being a solid, trustworthy, dependable, and honorable man does indeed take work, commitment, and determination, and your actions show that you are a lot closer to this than you may think.

I want to thank you for everything that you've done for this community, and for Hive. You will be deeply missed. I wish you immense success in your healing, and becoming the man, and human, that you truly desire. I salute you, sir. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I don't know what happened in your life but I genuinely hope you find peace of mind soon. Reading from the outside it seems that you feel really bad and that you messed up bad enough to consider ending your life at first, I've learned personally that sometimes this burden only exists in your head, not in those around you. Hopefully, in a few weeks, you'll see things more clear and lighter and life starts to smile at you again.

I refuse to believe that someone trying to spread so much joy and good vibes around Hive is a bad person. You simply tried to do too much good here. I'm not speaking about the HSBI rewards btw, that's a huge bonus for many, I'm solely speaking about trying to spread compliments, good vibes, help people struggling with their mental health.

Sometimes we know exactly what we need to do and can give fabulous advise to others, while in our own head, things are a bit more complicated and need some more time to execute the right steps.

Sending tons of good vibes your way and hopefully, you find answers to whatever it is that you need to sort in real life.

It must have been a hard decision for you, but it had to be taken. Not only for your family wellbeing, but also for your own health and sanity.
Thank you for everything you did for the community. Take care and hoping one day you will return back to Hive more determined and stronger.

It's definitely not a happy decision, but I had to prioritize. It's not even for my own well-being, but for my family. They must come first to me.

Thank you for your kind words. 🙏

You have built something amazing here and I can only hope you realize that someday and come back.
But first take some time to heal, get back on your feet.
We will be here when you are ready.

I'm not sure if I'll be coming back to lead FC any longer. It's just not going to be compatible with my goals of putting my family first while keeping my career going. Only 24 hours in a day.

Appreciate your kind words though. 🙏

Family has become my first priority. I survive for my family.

Maybe once I get back into a better mindset, I'll emerge as 2nd priority. Right now, I placed myself as the last priority.

Thank you for your words. 🙏

I completely understand that you're making the choice for your family and your own health, I'll take the time to re-read your post and all the comments, I'm not on Hive much at the moment.

What a great news!!!.

Let me apologize for not being aware of that Thread you mention.


However, we can clearly note your good leadership simply by admitting it and being totally honest free and expressive as the community deserves and what it was cast for in the first place.


Thanks for all your contributions brother, and this now only remains on behalf of us that although we use time irregularly we are always attentive and have learned too much here in the community.


This is the real art, something I feel I had missed for quite a while from you....

... But I know, a man's got to do what a man's got to do.


You are done with your life, that of a selfish and petulant child because the acceptance of it is the way to change, but don't be a shit eater who destroys with his feet what he built with his hands.
Here the sacrifice has been time invested, no more drama, go and recover, we will be here waiting for you and knowing that you are transforming your life and we are part of that change.

I fking love ur energy to talk it out, be good with ur self and accept it don't make me talk more u know how much i respect but if i could, slam u on the face. This is a break not a quit, idiot.

I have to admit, how you ended that made me smile. 😂 This is not something I've done much in the past week and a half.

We'll see what the future holds. For now, I do see it as a quit because there are only 24 hours in a day. But maybe the mental health initiative will be the legacy that I leave here. That would be pretty great.

Nevertheless, now it's family first. I have to take care of them. Glad that you understand, being a father yourself. You know how it goes.

I am really sorry you are going through this. I had this moment on LEO and so I sold the LEO and turned into the HIVE power and only posting to ecency based ecosystem. I also got a lot of trolls around but less posting has helped a lot. Your community is umbrella to me every week to post on. This type of shelter alone is a lot. Don't give up, I was in worst situation being the only breadwinner of family with autistic brother on the side. Automate the hive power curation and join someone else's trail. Take few months or weeks break and reduce the workload. Take care, please stay around!

Pause. You did great.

I had been hiding away on Discord until I found your community and your tag and I became a celebrity overnight. That is something I will never forget.

You gave me purpose. Made threading not feel like a hurdle but fun and exciting. I looked forward to the next time because I became an addict.

It was a good addiction.

Whatever happens, wherever you are and whatever you choose to do, always remember you are loved. If not by anyone but me. True leadership is what you gave us and posterity will never forget it.

Please, take care of yourself and your family. Most importantly, do what makes you happy.

I certainly wish you the best and hope you not only realize the change you're pursuing, but also find healing. Just remember that in addition to others forgiving us, we also must forgive ourselves.

You've built something very positive here on Hive that is having an impact on people. I'd encourage you to take a hiatus and let others step in to manage things while you take the time you need to focus on yourself and your family. Hive can wait, but this community can also continue to uplift and encourage others in the meantime, when more than ever people are feeling alone, ignored and not valued.

Whatever path you choose, may you find healing, forgiveness, and peace, my friend.

Family comes first and real life activities has more priorities and respect your decision. However I am sad because the community was one big reason for me to be active on threads.
You have done an excellent job and I appreciate the efforts you put.
I wish you good health and hope you will be back soon.
