"Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible," Tony Robbins says. And I believe him. All too often, some of us tend to set the bar lower because we have such thought as "it is hard" or we have doubts that we will be able to reach it. And setting it low is how we play safe and I'm guilty of that myself. But thanks to being here on Hive where the vibes are quite infectious, I'm learning. And per my own experience, being around goal-driven people helps a lot!
Brief Backstory
Back in January, I decided to join the Saturday Savers Club and set a goal to have 15k Leo Power and 1,500 Hive Power at the end of this year. My holdings (staked amounts) during that time were as follows:
👉 7,536 LP
👉 624 HP
Spending time on LeoFinance lit some fire in me and growing the Leo Power became my primary goal which I shared on my post, "Personal Roadmap for 2023." Fast forward to the 22nd week, the numbers have grown double, 99% and 134% respectively, re:
👉 15,000 LP (15k goal checked ☑️)
👉 1,465 HP
It feels good! Being able to achieve my Leo Power goal in less than 6 months time convinced me that I can do better. Hence, a new one was set, re: 22k LP. The Hive Power on the other hand was 35 HP away before the target number is ticked off. And on week 24th, it just happened, yay!
👉 19,000 LP
👉 1,505 HP (1.5k goal checked ☑️)
Here's how both LP and HP have been growing from the 18th week.
Setting new targets
And because my Hive Power target has been reached, it's time to set a new bar, re: to have 2k Hive Power on or before 31st December which means staking an average of 2-3 HIVE per day or at least 80 HIVE per month.
So yes, the new target numbers have been set, re:
🎯 22,000 Leo Power (Primary)
🎯 2,000 Hive Power (Secondary)
Achievable, yes?
It honestly scares me a bit especially that I don't consistently create long-form contents on this alt but it's going to be a good challenge to take in the next 6 months. But I do see the Leo Power can be easily achieved especially that the Leo Ads smart contract is going to be deployed anytime soon. I'm actually very excited to see how it goes.
Until then, the grind continues here on this beautiful blockchain which most of us call home.
Cheers to a Happy weekend!
