Hive As A Journey

I received this comment last night on a post and had no idea I had done so many as staying consistent becomes a way of life. Talk about a timely reminder as this is something you never really think about as you are constantly active. The figure of 2500 posts sounds like a lot but actually averages out at less then 2 posts per day. Kind of nuts still knowing how much time has been taken up producing and researching 90% of these posts.

Time is something you will never get back and knowing the 41662 Hive earned (hivebuzz) may or may not justify the time spent. One cannot look at it in value terms in $$$ as this is a journey where you are part of it. The growth is mainly personal and possibly, hopefully it will turn into a monetary one at some point later down the line. The spinoff is Hive has helped me grow personally benefitting from a change of thinking especially around my business and how I do things.

The question is and what I always tell myself is what would you have done with that time if you weren't on Hive" Watch movies or television most likely and where is the benefit in that as there is very little to fuel the mind and nothing really keeping your brain active. Most television channels are full of repeats anyway and I can still watch what I want to if I make the time away from Hive. Everything since 45 months ago is now in reverse and couldn't be happier with the lifestyle change.

Granted writing isn't for everyone and I was one of those who never used to enjoy it and was a little shy when I first started out thinking this was a little crazy and a bit out of my comfort zone. You cannot knock something until you try it and give it a chance. The first month or so the only upvotes I received were my own plus a few others which I am always grateful for. Writing now is a time of relaxation and something I really enjoy as it is a thinking time which I use to relax and problem solve. Most of my business related posts are exactly that as it clarifies my thought processes.

Things change though as you learn to improve and if one looks back at those first 100 posts things do change drastically. I think you start to add personal insight making the posts more interesting showing your character which is what makes it your blog. I am not one to be bothered about trending as this is something you have no control over anyway so why worry.

The journey is staying consistent and being true to yourself as why be someone you aren't. On here I am no different in the real world and like to keep things simple with things that interest me. I will continue posting daily as long as I still enjoy it which I believe shows in what you publish daily. The problem with Hive is that it offers many extra things and more are being added being developed behind the scenes. I can see myself in another 45 months seeing another Hivebuzz comment saying you have completed 5000 posts and the difference from day 1 until now is I am looking forward to that. When I joined Hive I had no idea what I was walking into and that is the best way having an open mind with no expectations.
