"Stagnation: everyone is moving but you're not." 💔
<p> Most times, we experience stagnation in our lives and end up thinking that's the end of it. We find our mates moving, getting good jobs, traveling abroad to study but you, you are stuck the same place your friends left you behind. nothing is happening in your life.</p><p>Stagnation is a crazy feeling of not moving forward even though you keep trying. Stagnation becomes powerful when you look around and your age grades are figuring life out for themselves improving their lives but yours isn't. You pray, hope, dream for days. days turn into weeks ,weeks may turn into years. Being stagnant puts you in a position where you begin to question your identity, yourself and God. You feel like all hope is lost, you get tired after tryin you best yet it still fails. You overthink, you begin to question yourself and nothing that your doing feels right. You should worry less cause you aren't alone.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1003223546.jpg" style="background-color: transparent;"/></p><p>Being stagnant can be described as you knowing what you want but don't have the resources to get there. When I say resources I mean financial aid and connection. You have big dreams but yet you don't have money to chase them. And if you don't know, dreams die. 💔</p><p> Comparison makes the feeling of stagnation heavy, social media makes it heavier. You compare your behind-the- scenes to another person's highlight reel. You see the successes of people bout don't see their struggles. Stagnation doesn't mean that you're lazy or not trying but most times we try our best but circumstances don't change.</p><p> The question we should ask ourselves is " Am I truly stagnant?." We may make progress in our lives but most times progress is slow and takes time. We just have to keep pushing ahead and pray 🙏 for assistance. We should all know that falling behind isn't the same as being lost. Your chapter 13 might not be the same as another person. Your life isn't a race against someone else's time line. </p><p> Maybe you aren't where you want to be. you feel stuck and everyone is moving without you. one thing we should know is progress isn't going to happen overnight. It takes time, but we should never mistake SLOW progress for NO progress.</p><p>Progress isn't visible, sometimes surviving is progress too💪♥️</p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The 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.
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.
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 "Top 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.

Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
