The closer you are to the finish line, the faster you want to reach it
I don't know if it has ever happened to you that you are close to achieving your goal... For me, euphoria pushes me to do more and more to achieve it more quickly.
My goal for a long time now has been to reach Orca status on Hive. Initially I always thought it was impossible, a goal too far for a small fish like me. But, step by step, thanks to the trust of those who supported me and still support me, that dream has now almost come true. Today I did another PowerUp and now I'm close to 56k HP.
If I'm not mistaken, I think I read somewhere that today Orca's status is reached between 57k and 58k HP, so the countdown has officially begun for me! I hope, by the end of next month, to be able to announce the prestigious milestone.
In fact, I am sure that posts like mine encourage users to increasingly improve their position and influence in the community. Even imagining being a good curator and distributing heavy votes makes me responsible, more attention to good content and to the support of the little fish.
Since I have always believed in the importance of growing within the community that allowed me to obtain free rewards for my work as an author, I am increasingly convinced in the need to grow Hive Power as a thank you to the blockchain.
Step by step
Building a position on Hive requires consistency, fairness, patience and interaction. I really like the idea of being able to become a point of reference for other new and old users, growing together and who knows in a few years what will really happen.
For now, after the orca status, all that remains is to become a whale, a truly incredible status to be achieved only with the constant publication of articles on the blog. Perhaps it will be necessary to implement some strategy but the objective will be long term. For now, I'm enjoying these last steps towards orca status.
