I read in a post that is a call to #HiveCollectors for March theme, one sentence
There are months that fly by too quickly. For example, February is one of those; we barely get used to feeling like we are in that month, and it is already March.
Not that it's already March, but it's also passing 😅
At the beginning of this month, a little longer than the previous February, I shared in this community my tea collection, in response to the tea bags and collection of phrases posted by @mipiano in her post.
But on that occasion I did not fulfill the task of the month of March.
I didn't share any interesting quotes or motivational messages. The reason is simple.
I didn't find tea bags with quotes (or maybe candy wrappers...) 🙂
I find the quotes that I can share with you here every day on my calendar next to the front door.
Every morning, when I open my eyes, and before leaving the apartment, I glance at the quote for the day.
I didn't want to post quotes for the whole month, before several days of the same have passed, but now that the month is down to three more days, I think it's a good time to share with you some of the most interesting quotes for March.
I chose a few, which in my opinion are motivational (let's not get into philosophy here), and very applicable to the Hive world and what we do here.
We, who are doing it in the right way, considering Hive as a place that we need to improve, build and grow with that place.
Somehow it will work out that this particular post is at the right time in the community of collectors.
This post will be my thousandth post on Hive.
For me, a small anniversary, which represents an example of a wise saying from the end of the month, and proof of my dedication.
In less than three years, 1000 posts...
Maybe I didn't get rich, but there is time, I'm moving forward with small steps, new challenges and victories every day.
There will be lows and highs, as in the March 1st quote:
March 1
It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.
Vince Lombardi (1913-1970)
On our Hive journey, we must move, we must live Hive... Because if we stand still, we will achieve nothing, says the quote from March 8...
March 8
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
Will Rogers (1879-1935)
In this movement, we will surely go to the top, to the place where we can lend a hand and help others who need help moving in the right direction, as in the quote from March 6.
March 6
You can't help someone get up a hill without getting closer to the top yourself
H. Norman Schwarzkopf, US Army General
Because each of us, in life, as well as here at Hive, no matter how small, counts. It is important, even if he is a beginner. If he has the right vision, from an individual, and a small influence, doing what he can every day, he will slowly approach the mentioned top... (March 11)
March 11
I am only one, but I am one. I can't do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.
Edward Everett Hale (1822-1909)
Because, as the quote from March 18 says, if you don't shoot in the right way, you will surely miss the target.
March 18
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Wayne Gretzky (1961)
You may be happy just by the sound of the shot (if you're looking at it in the short term), but in the long run, you've fired all the ammunition and you haven't hit the target or this tip.
I would single out one quote that is like a mantra for life.
The two-millennium-old sentence of March 27.
Not thinking and excessively worrying about what we cannot influence, about what is beyond our power, and
certainly, make your contribution every day, because as an individual, we can make a contribution to creating a better world.
March 27
There is only one way to happiness and that is to stop worrying about things that are beyond the power of our will.
Epictetus (first century AC)
Reading the last quote for March, which will come in a few days, I remain committed to what I do here and come up with new goals for myself.
March 31
Consider attendance as your greatest asset
George Shelley (1849-1927)
Tea is still drunk, although not as hot as at the beginning of the month.
Now it is drunk from a glass, with ice cubes and a straw. Ice tea is drunk, in accordance with the season that has arrived and brought us an increase in temperature, when we replaced hoodies and sweaters with short-sleeved shirts.
Just in time to activate my colorful t-shirt collection.
It remains for me to turn a few more pages of my calendar with quotes, wise sayings and motivational messages and to wait for a new topic for the month of April, in which I will hopefully manage to join my collection.
