Just like many hivers, when the year was starting, I set some intentional hive goals I plan to achieve this year. It's been quite a journey, and I must say that despite the little challenges I have been facing, I have seen desirable results so far regarding my hive goals.
You see, setting goals has a way of making one remain focused. I don't know about others, but each time I pick up my diary to draft either yearly, monthly, weekly, or daily goals, it becomes a driving force for me to be up and doing. The commitment spirit in me will be greatly awakened, and if it's something I can control, I will always pursue the goals without interferences until I have my results.
I am still on the journey of hitting my hive goals for the year. No, I am not passing all despite any challenge. Before I proceed, let's take a sneak peek at the goals I set earlier this year and see how far I have gone with them.
The above is the image I designed on Canva when I wrote about my hive goals earlier this year. You could see that my goals are: growing my HP, adding HBDs in savings, improving my writing skills, and more that wasn't captured in the design, which includes but is not limited to:
Explore more communities on Hive and interact more with Hive users"..
Experience vlogging..
Use more of the original images..
The journey so far..
The bear market has lingered so much and has been an opportunity for most of us to accumulate more HP and liquid hive either by buying using our HBD rewards or through our Curation rewards. If you have been consistent with blogging and have been lucky with upvotes, then you must have accumulated much HP. Achieving my HP goal is possible because of the big dip so far. As at the time I set the goal, I had 6k HP and set the goal of achieving 10k HP at the end of the year. Currently, I have 9k HP plus 2.5k liquid hives in savings, which I have been buying using some of my HBD rewards. I am really taking this step in order not to miss out during the bull run or you have a better tactic?
Hitting 10k HP by the end of the year is very possible, hopefully especially if the dip continues, which I am not praying for. Overall, it's been a good ride on this particular goal.
I decided to be saving some HBDs specifically for emergency funds, and I must tell you that several times, this savings has come through for me and my family. It's a goal I really like the outcome it has been giving me, and even next year, I will still add it as one of my goals. The habit of saving I cultivated has made me disciplined with my spending, giving me the opportunity to attend to emergency needs without struggling much financially.
Regarding improving my writing skills, the idea was to become a great reader, consuming lots of contents both on chain and off chain, but trust me, offline responsibilities have been choking. I am nowhere close to being better regarding my writing skills, but I know it's a gradual process. I wouldn't be hard on myself; I would keep pushing towards achieving this goal.
Joining the Monthly InLeo prompt has been an added advantage in achieving the goal I stated above, "Explore more communities on Hive and interact more with Hive users." The prompt has a way of pushing me to different communities, and so far, I love the whole experience of my new discoveries. The hive blockchain indeed has a lot to offer, but only if you give it your time, and for sure, knowledge is guaranteed.
Still on my goal review; experiencing vlogging hasn't been a success so far. I will pass this one. You know why? It takes a good skill to create a quality video, which I don't have yet, which is why I gave up on publishing videos on Hive. Using original images is something I love doing, even though I am not a professional photographer, but so far, I have been capturing things out there, unlike before, and using them where suitable. This goal, I will say, is still a work in progress.
****"
One major challenge I have been experiencing on my hive journey so far is the time factor. This year, I had a lot on my hands-off chain, and finding balance has been a challenge. I wouldn't say it's much of a problem since I am productive off chain only that things haven't been going the way I envision them to be, but overall, I am still on track with most of my goals.
How has been your hive journey so far since the year started? Let me know briefly in the comment section if you wish to let it out.

First thing first, I am proud of you, mama. When it comes to things like this, one has to be intentional about their financial growth. You have done so well and still doing that. You know if not for your saving tactics, how do you intend sailing through those moments? Though, there may be wayout somewhere, but having something from here to help you is a great advantage.
With your earnings, I trust that you will achieve your 10k HP. Thanks to the bear moment that has been on for a long time, making us accumulate more HP. Even myself, I would have surpassed my goal of 7k HP I set for this year. I had to power down at some point (something I would be doing soon) but it is what it is.
What matters is how you have come to this stage to see yourself growing. We keep learning and looking for more ways to grow our accounts, thereby paving the way for financial growth.
Princess loot 😌
I sight you gal 😍
Omo..the bear market has done it's own...it should be calming down from now biko let us breath small..lol
You are doing well too
Let's keep pushing towards our goals
You're doing great, ma. More power to you.
I think that if you had made your goals in the diary more specific, it would've help you plan properly to achieve them. I noticed that later in your post, you talked about the specific numbers you set, so I was just thinking that if you included these numbers in your canva design or even in your diary, it'll be easier to remind yourself of the specific numbers you want to hit at the end of the year.
Hehe. I used to set my goals like this too, but I took some short course last week that suggested that even if I know my goals in my end, I should write it out clearly and specifically how I want it. Thought I would share with you. More power to you, man. Don't forget me with this huge HP. Hehe
Haha 😂😂😂, is ur last statement for me oo 😂
Which huge up..I am just a baby you know...lolz
Yea, I did wrote my goals in my diary and often time, I check them to see how far...that seems like a quick reminder to buckle up
If you check, I have really gotten this 10k HP oo 😂 just that I saved the hive on savings there waiting for bull run...so if the bull refuse to run and the dip continues...then completing the 10k staked hive will be very close 😃
Thanks so much for engaging
most times, offchain activities can be really draining and time consuming.
Its amazing to see that you achieved some of your goals. thanks for your entry
It can, really time consuming and exhausting..it's been a struggle to find balance
Thanks for engaging
thank you for sharing
*Reading your mind
I think half of you still want it to be like this making your 10k HP comes quicker and the other part wants to take profit. 😂
Haha 😆😆😂😂
Leave me oo 😂
Two different choices..let me just complete my 10k HP and then bull run can begin
Lolz
Lol you're not praying for the dip, but you actually need it to hit 10k HP don't you? Hahaha. Hopefully you hit it. You have two months to go to the end of the year actually
Haha 😂😂😂, oh my goodness 🤦
It's two different choices , hahaha..one of my heart wants the bull run, another wants the dip to continue in order to quickly hit my 10k HP goal..lolz
This life no balance at all 😃😃
Best of luck to you and I hope you will achieve your goal before the end of the year. Still 1k remaining. It's the same for me but I think it's not so easy for me to reach 7k but I will try my best to achieve the goal.
!LUV
!PIZZA
If this dip continues and if you continue to write daily and be lucky with upvotes, then you can achieve it
Finger crossed
We shall see how it goes 😃
Good luck to us
