Long Term Goals: Accumulation Of Short Term Goals
Setting goals is easy, trying to achieve those goals is a little bit easy, working towards achieving those goals, is not quite easy but takes you on the journey of experiencing the hard part of the process. But I will consider the hardest part to be the consistent part. Consistency in trying to achieve your goal is extremely hard because this takes a lot of self discipline.
People will always set goals, these goals are big goals, but like they say “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. This part is the part that will always not stick in some people’s mind, they want to achieve these goals all at once, forgetting you have to go through a process. Don’t get me wrong, some people are lucky to achieve a big role in one time without the need to have humble beginnings or start small. These people are extremely lucky and they are rare, but realistically speaking, more people achieve their goals with little wins that grew up to a big win.
Showing up every day in putting efforts in achieving your big dream goal is paving way and preparing you for the big goal. This is why, for you to achieve a long term goal, you need to learn to accumulate short term goals over time. Yesterday, I wrote a post The Power Of Earning Or Investing $10 On Hive Daily and this post meant a lot to me, because I could relate to it. To achieve a big goal, start by putting daily efforts.
Some of us here have a power goal we are looking forward to achieving before the year runs out. Power goals like Hive Power, Leo Power, Proof of brain power etc, but some of us are expecting these to be achieved from our inconsistent performance. Nah, doesn’t work that way, every time you put up a post, or make an effort in engaging or participating in the blockchain, it puts you a step closer to achieving your big dream goal.
Imagine you want to achieve 2,000 HP in a year through content creation, but your consistency in posting is not encouraging. You probably post once a week, or twice a week, if you are a whale who is already established on the blockchain, that is understandable, but as a Newbie who is barely 1 year on the blockchain, inconsistency should not be something you should consider if you want to achieve your goals. This doesn’t apply on the blockchain alone, it applies everywhere in life.
I’m hoping I will get to 10k HP before this year ends, this is my own long term goal. Initially, this goal seemed impossible because of the price of Hive, you know when the price of Hive gets high, the quantity of HP rewards gotten will be lower because the blockchain spends more HBD to acquire more Hive. But lucky me, the value of Hive has reduced, which means that the quantity of HP received will be higher. This also mean that I will have the opportunity of buying more Hive from exchanges at cheaper price.
Achieving These Long Term Goals With Hive My journey to trying to achieve 10K HP is not going to be an easy one because, trying to double my 2.7K HP to 5.4K HP will take a great deal of commitment. I will focus on trying to achieve at least 100 HP every week. But according to my calculation, to achieve my 10K HP goal before the year ends, I need to make at least 150 HP a week, I can achieve this if I turn all my rewards to 100% HP. But aside Hive goals, I have other goals I need to achieve that are outside Hive.
Currently am making above 100 HP goals every week, which is a great way of taking advantage of the crypto dip. Hive has dipped in price, this means less HBD, more HP rewards. Who needs more HBD right now, when you can stack up more HP. Call me selfish, but I wish I can accumulate and have up to 10K HP before the high major Hive price spike.
So everyday efforts of putting up content to get curation rewards, can lead to my long term 10K HP goal. This also goes out to my other goals like Leo power, Proof of brain and life generally. Once again, am grateful for Hive and this endless opportunities of giving us the chance to achieve our long term goals in these little ways.
