Goals, Goals, Goals ..

Goals ARE Cool (Pepper does a much better job expressing it than I).

When it comes to setting goals, there are two different types of people in the world, those who set them in those who don’t. Ouch - I guess that’s what I tell myself on the weekend anyhow. Hehe.

Warning - Random Photo's plopped in for interest ;-)

Maybe I’m being a bit obtuse .. when I view it that way, but what do I know. So I’m one of those people who like to set goals. If your not, that's okay, goal setting isn't for everyone. Most of the goals I set are financially-based. Those for some reason or easier for me do logically measure. Other personal goals may be ones that I never really write down but I keep in the back recesses of my mind.

Come the weekend, I spend most of my morning working on setting goals .. adjusting my goals, and measuring those goals. I’m not going to throw a lot in here about my processes when it comes to goalsetting, but just know I consume a lot of coffee on a Saturday and a Sunday while I maul over what my next move will be. I have the time to "Think" on the weekend, so that's when these things get done.

Goals are like a spiderweb.. I suppose those goals are like a spiderweb, filtering down and out into everything I do. Decisions I make in order to support and grow those goals, will have an effect on other parts of my life. Just like a fly trapped in a spiderweb, every little movement sends vibrations to other parts of my web of goals (through my life). There is an element of care to be taken, but that's not the case with all my goals.

Today, for the purposes of this post, I am talking about Hive.

So what goal did I reach today?

I didn’t. No goal reaching happened today, other than contributing a post to the chain. No goal reached yet at least. I’ve been watching my HP grow daily, and I am nearing my goal of 40,000 HP. I am roughly 43 HP shy of it. I would tell you where I was a year ago today, except I cannot find my Excel spreadsheet that I have been filling out month by month for a couple of years now. I did recently get a new laptop, but I don’t think that’s the problem. There was a server glitch three weeks ago and I think I lost several documents in the process. I have to wait and see if myself or our IT guy can get them back. Oh well, easy come easy go. It just sucks that I do not remember where I was a year ago today.

If anyone is aware of any program, like hive stats, that give you more information than 30 days, I would appreciate the info.

I set that goal pretty high .. and it looks like I may reach it in about a week. Maybe sooner. That’s pretty exciting and even though it’s not quite as much as several people here on the block chain, it’s more than others and something that I am proud of and grateful for. It’s an investment I made for myself, the blockchain, and my hive family. It was nice when the HP reached a certain point where I felt comfortable loaning some out as well as helping others get a start and a footing here on the blockchain.

Something else happened today ..

I didn’t quite reach a goal, but I experienced an accomplishment .. I guess you could say it’s not good to accomplish this something. My reputation turn 73. That’s quite a distance from the original 25 I started with in March 2018. I’ve come along way, gathered lots of friends, and wrote about a lot of things. Surprisingly I don’t regret any of it.

Every time my fingers touch the keyboard and I begin writing .. there’s a sense of vulnerability that comes over me. How am I gonna let the world in today? What part of my world do I want them to be a part of, to show them? I tend to stick to what I’m comfortable with, but I occasionally adventure outside of my box. That’s one of the main reasons I started writing here in the first place. I wanted to step outside of my box, my comfort zone, and improve my writing skills along with opening my mind to new ideas in the world. I think I succeeded in that and my reputation score shows it.

For the average Hiver, it takes a long time to build up your reputation .. and it gets harder as your score gets higher. I don’t like setting reputation goals, it just doesn’t feel right to me. So, when my reputation changes I threw myself a little celebration inside my head. It’s a less of a popularity number and more of a distinction that I’ve reached so many people with my stories, and they reached back letting me know they enjoyed them.

So thank you to everyone who’s made it possible for me to feel like I’m a part of something great, a part of something cutting edge… A part of a new future. A Decentralized Crypto World.

@tarazkp authored a post called The Right Time - At The Right Hive. Check it out.. he gets the point across much better than I ever could. It's sort of inspirational and it may even help to give you some direction if you are lost to what Hive means for you and possible where you think you should be.

We are ALL well on our way to great things, And I am happy to be a long for the ride!

Happy 73 Reputation Day To Me, And THANK YOU to ALL of You Who Helped To Make It Possible!

Don't forget to set some goals for yourself.. and start your own journey to reaching them.

If I can ever be of help to you in reaching your goals, let me know. I will always help when and how I can :-)

Hope you enjoyed the random photos, all taken by yours truly
