"When the journey gets tough, the tough gets going", this has been my watchword and motivational word since i started my blogging career on hive and i still feel like there is still much work to do to achieve my hive goals...
My hive journey hasn't been fun in all form of honesty and sincerity and i have realized that this platform isn't for the weak ones but for the stronger ones who have the heart of a LION...
A quick throwback into the past, four months ago when i started my blogging career, i downloaded the hive keychain and after logging in my account with my keys, i made my first post and even after seven days payout my account worth wasn't pumping, it was quite funny to me...
That was when i realized i need to wake up from slumber and add more effort to my posts and engagement, i vividly remember what my account worth was then and how it felt like to get my account worth from $0 to at least $100 will take me years of hard work....
hmmmm, i felt a little discouraged and then encouragement from friends and other hiveans made me stronger but mostly it was my watchword and determination to succeed that made me progress gradually....
I remember what i earned on my first post which was my introductory post, i earned $0.64 on that post and it felt like i had millions, you know that feeling, a newbie getting that amount on his first post, it actually encouraged me and i got welcomed by hiveans...
My second post earned me $1.59, i saw this and then i ran to my onboarder to tell him and he was just smiling as i was happy with that amount on my post, imagine from $0.64 to $1.59, is that not enough for a day old hivean to be full of joy...
My third post earned nothing lolz, its quite funny though, for seven days i had nothing on that post and that was the beginning of discouragement, i figured out now that it was because i posted that topic in the wrong community and that was how my third post had $0.00 and that was when i realized i need to knowledge equipped...
Back to my Account worth, when it got to $1, i remember i told my elder sister about this and she just looked at it and smiled, i was happy but with her smile, it felt like i had wasted my time on the platform...
I never allowed that to break my spirit, i started with double hard work and from $0, it slowly started rising to $2 and in a month it got to $5 and in two months $10 and then my account worth was sky rocketing but the fluctuation in the price of hive started making my account worth dance....
I never gave up and continue working harder with quality posts and in no time it fetched me $16 and then last month i went back to check my account worth, it was $350 and then i sent a screenshot to my elder sister and guess what her first word was???
It was a "WOW" and then i smiled and walked away to continue my work and today making 4 months plus i have joined the hive platform, my account worth is now $510, seeing this has really made my day and all my hard work worth it....
Now i have achieved this goal presently, i have 512 HIVE POWER, 50HBD IN SAVINGS and 165 HIVE, this is the goal i have achieved so far and now i have set a new goal for myself and that is to accumulate 1000HP in the next 4 months with 300HBD in savings and 500 HIVE in wallet...
In summary, i am happy that my journey so far on the hive platform wasn't all for nothing and that my hard work surely are paying off and that is one good news i will always hold dear to my heart....
In conclusion, i have gotten love, contribution and encouragement from communities and my fellow hiveans, i look forward to the next four month to achieving my next target.. my HBD goal is influenced by @beyondhorizonmm and a big shout out to INVESTOR✅✅...
A BIG SHOUT OUT TO ALL MY NEOXIAN FAMILY AND HIVEANS💞💞💞💞
