Important statistics: Passion, personality and effort

It's not often I look at statistics on Hive because it's (generally) meaningless to me and won't affect what I do here, plus I don't have time to waste...although I did the other day.

I am all about setting goals in life but with Hive the only goal I had was to have fun, enjoy what I do here, and I have hit that goal year after year since June 13th 2017 when I first started on the blockchain (meaning the one that Hive split off from) and I'm still here doing that. Sure, it's a different place now than it was then, I don't actually find it as enjoyable if I'm totally honest, but I stick around because there's some people I have fun with and writing from time to time is a good distraction from what's going on in my life.

Anyway, I see many people setting financial goals on Hive and I think that's not altogether a bad thing, but I also see people forget to set other goals like engagement, quality of their posting, improvement of their grammar, punctuation and writing style, improving image quality, relationship building/nurturing and other things...I get the feeling many approach it like a job and that leaves me feeling that many posts are bland, soulless, uninspiring, boring and passionless. I've always said that a persons main goal here should be to post and engage with passion, personality and effort - I respond to that with my upvote button and through engagement - and without it a person won't do as well.

For me the most important statistic to measure is the level of passion, personality and effort I put into what I do here and I know that with the right balance the financial statistics will take care of themselves.

I'm not going to go into my statistics as no one other than me probably cares but what I will say is that they move in the right direction, upwards I mean, and that's due to the fact I don't see this as a job, it's a hobby and interest, and that means I put more personality and passion in, effort too of course. Over the years I've tried to inspire others to do the same and some have done so (and get my votes and engagement because of it) and other have ignored me (and they don't get my votes and engagement) and it's each person's prerogative to do as they wish.

Effective goalsetting is one of the most important aspects of life for those who would like to achieve their desired results but goals without a plan attached are simply dreams and they won't carry a person forward towards the results they would like.

Setting the goal of having a certain amount of Hive powered up by the end of the year will mean nothing if the person doesn't take the steps to earn it and that comes through posting well, engagement (and building relationships) and, of course, powering up (staking) not taking it all out of Hive; I believe, once the goal is set and the plan determined the next ingredient is action and to make that action effective one needs to apply passion, personality and effort.

What do you reckon? Am I talking shit or am I on the right track? I mean, my account has grown exponentially so I guess I've done something right, but you may disagree and have a different way to do it. Feel free to expose your thoughts and yourself in the comments if you like.
