GREAT THINGS DON'T ALWAYS ATTRACT THE LOUDEST APPLAUSE.
<p>Hi Soul Anchor 🕊️</p><p><br/></p><p>Today, I want you to read this carefully.</p><p>Great things don’t always attract the loudest applause, at least, not every time.</p><p>I had the opportunity to counsel someone this morning after they did something I wasn’t pleased with. I told them: Don’t confuse people’s appraisal with approval.</p><p>Think about it, have you ever seen people get high and start misbehaving? Others stand around, cheering, taking pictures, and encouraging the chaos. Only a few feel pity. Why? Because it’s often easier for people to “support” you when you’re going astray, it entertains them.</p><p>When you live recklessly, you’ll attract a crowd, because your life is fun for them to watch. But notice, most of those cheering you on won’t do what you’re doing; they have better choices.</p><p>So don’t rejoice when crowds follow you for the wrong reasons. The truth is, foolish living often attracts many companions, but wise living usually means walking with fewer, genuine ones. Even the rich today keep small circles—wisdom recognizes the value of fewer, truer friends.</p><p>But here’s the shift: the moment you choose to get serious with your life, the applause stops. Suddenly, your dreams are mocked, your efforts ridiculed, and encouragement is scarce. Why? Because you no longer offer laughs for their entertainment.</p><p>Yet that is exactly where you should remain, because you’re no longer living for their amusement, but for the purpose God has placed on your life.</p><p>It may hurt to lose the crowd, but remember: their support ends when the laugh dies, but God’s approval remains forever.</p><p>I remain,</p><p>Abbas_Comforted 🕊️</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
