Being a person with disability living here in the #philippines, I find it that job discrimination for the disabled is quite alarming. As more and more Filipinos are having a hard time finding jobs, the ampleness of employers who lacks trust for the disabled and the scarcity of opportunities are quite rising. Despite having a lot of work online and work at home jobs now that are being offered, still a lot of us are having a hard time finding the right opportunity that would change our lives. I can say that I am quite lucky, having been able to work freelance graphic designing jobs both internationally and locally as soon as I finished college, and being able to start my own small printing business. But life is quite harsh even for a businessman, experiencing it first-hand, I am quite worried most of the time on how to continually support myself and expand exponentially.

**STEEMIT IS A LIFE CHANGER!**

Just a week ago, I was invited here on steemit by my friend @ninjace, knowing that I'm quite struggling right now financially and emotionally, he asked me to try steemit. I've had blogs before from other blogging sites, but non are quite like steemit. Steemit is rewarding! Financially, emotionally and mentally.  After researching about the platform for some time, I have realized that steemit is a gold mine for opportunities, not just for normal people but more so for the people with disabilities.

**MINING WITH MINDS ON STEEMIT**

We all know that steemit rewards its authors monetary value through cryptocurrency. And that its the main source of cash for people who use it as their daily source of income. But without good contents it would be hard to earn anything from it. This is where "mining with minds" on steemit is very beneficial. Steemit is a platform where one creates content for readers, it involves thinking to create not just any random content but valuable ones, and that I would like to add that "thinking is mining with your mind". A lot of people joining steemit thinks that its easy but to be honest it is not, you need good contents to get the attention of viewers and writing one involves a lot of drawing out your potential through thinking.

**HOW MINING MINDS ON STEEMIT CREATES ABUNDANCY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DISABLED**

Besides writing and curating articles where you can be upvoted and receive money from it. There are other ways to earn from steemit. With steemit, mining minds doesn't go one way, because other people posts good stuffs likewise. This is where it becomes more amazing, because people are so smart about thinking of great contents, contents that are not just gold mines for knowlegde moreover there is an abundancy of contents that rewards readers and gives opportunities to earn money.

**" #steemgigs and freelancing services"**
I was amazed when I learned about this and the group that handles it, shoutout to @surpassinggoogle, he directed me to the right place. 😀Steemgigs is a community here on steemit where you can find various opportunities, most of these can be done with the use of the computer, from graphic designing, voice-overs, contests and challenges, proof reading, creative writing and many other freelancing services, where all are payed and rewarded with monetary value. For a disabled's perspective, learning about the existence of #steemgigs is a very exciting experience for me. It is very beneficial for people with disabilities who can work via a computer as the community offer a lot.

Anyway, thats it for now! And again, another shoutout to @surpassinggoogle because of the good content that he posted about mining minds, I was inspired to write this based on my experiences so far here on steemit.
