Some weeks ago, I came across a post made by @bozz where he was celebrating his big achievement on the platform. He had worked so hard, stayed consistent and finally reached a 100k Hive Power stake. I was really motivated by that post and for some moments I was imagining within myself, when will I reach such a stake. I was thinking of how much I too can grow if I put in effort and stay consistent. I was motivated by his journey and from that moment, I made up my mind to also set a goal for myself on the platform.

I may not be aiming as high as 100k for now, but I have a goal that is quite important to me. I want to grow my Hive stake to between 1500 and 2000 Hive Power before the end of the year. I also want to gather up to 1000 Hive native tokens and stake them as well. Now this may not be easy as it look, but I believe it is possible. It is something I truly want to work toward because it will help me grow in the Hive community and get more voice on the platform.

To reach this goal, I've set plan to follow two paths. The first one is through hard work and consistency. I want to keep writing quality posts, making good music, stay active, and keep engaging with other users in the Hive community. I will do my best to follow the rules of the platform and keep growing in knowledge and widening my creativity. I pretty sure that staying consistent and adding value to the platform will help me earn more Hive rewards over time and with that, I can power up and grow my stake little by little.

The second path is to invest my own money by buying Hive tokens and powering them up. Hopefully this will help me reach my goal faster. Sometimes rewards may be slow or there may be times when earnings are not enough. So adding from my own pocket can help push things forward. Even if I can’t buy much, every small amount added will makes a difference. This is not not just about growing my stake alone but also about showing commitment to the Hive platform and for my personal growth as well.

With both of these plans set, I am hopeful that I can reach or even pass my target before the year ends. I know there will be challenges along the way and definitely, there may be days I will feel tired to write and post because sometimes finding what to write on or song to sing can be challenging, but I will not give up. Nahhh!!! I will keep going and trust the process as little as it may go. 

Just like @bozz reached his own big goal, I believe I can reach mine even if it may take time. By the grace of God and with consistency and determination, I believe I will achieve my Hive goal before the year runs out. Hive is more than a platform to me, it’s a space where I get motivated, empowered, encouraged, grow, learn and get opportunity to share my ideas and opinions and I’m very grateful to be part of it.
