Greetings to everyone and welcome to my blog 🌹
I'm most grateful to God Almighty for another opportunity to be alive and in super health. One can only plan and execute plans when one is alive and in sound health in body and mind. My Hive goal for this week is to make a post each day. Secondly, I'll engage in at least four different posts across the community everyday. Thirdly, participate in any contest that catches my interest. Lastly, by my observation I noticed that a lot of people have yet to hear about Hive Blockchain. This week starting from tomorrow being Wednesday I'll create a broadcast and send out messages passing information about Hive community to people. I'll do this every two days this week.

At We are alive tribe it is our tradition to stake #Alive token every Tuesday and today is not an exception. As usual, I participated in the event. I staked the little quantity (4.7 #alive) I have in my keychain wallet. By next week I hope to acquire more and stake too. You know like the popular saying “every move is a progress just don't stay at one point” that's what matters most.
I often hear the popular saying “you conquer your fear by facing it”. I'd not really understood the literal meaning of it until yesterday. I don't have a favourite when it comes to food but good and well prepared food. My family likes moi-moi and I usually prepare it using nylon (though I know the disadvantage) of using nylon but because I don't know how to prepare that of leaves I resort to using nylon. Not only do using leaves appear healthy, it tastes better too. So yesterday I thought to myself for how long will I continue using nylon knowing the harmful effects of it and how do I learn how to use leaves if I don't practice it? After those thoughts I decided to give it a shot. I watched a YouTube video on how to do it (not that I've not watched it before) but because the desire to get it done has aligned with my interest to learn it. And vola! I did it. Though I had a few wraps that spilled but two things are certain; one, I've conquered my fear and two, I'll do better next time for the fact that I keep doing it.
(Sorry I couldn't snap a picture of it cause I never planned writing on it, the thought of writing only propped up now).
I relate the above story with real life situations as regards pursuing our dreams, goals or starting a new business. We focus on what will go wrong, we focus on our fears, we focus on procrastination and allow our fears of temporary failure or not getting it right the first time cloud our joy of achieving success if we eventually face those fears and get it done. The truth is when we start something that scares us we'll find out that we can do even more than we could ever imagine. When I decided to prepare the moi-moi with leaves I knew a good amount of it was going to spill considering it was my first time and that growth always came with a price tag but to my utmost surprise only a few went bad and not even completely bad. But this has been what is keeping me back from trying it out before now. I've really learnt a huge lesson with this experience in every aspect of my life.
To get things done you have to make a decision and set a workable plan to achieve it. For you to take that decision requires discipline. Discipline to decide to break free from fear and procrastination, the procrastination of taking action plans to execute your goals and the procrastination of wanting to participate in staking alive but not yet participated. Face that fear and get it done.
Thanks for stopping by🌹
