I don't recall any endeavor that I am involved in that I find fulfilling and enjoyable like my journey so far on Hive. My Telecoms career has been far from boring I enjoyed it and especially the traveling aspect which had me cover major cities and towns across South Africa. But over the years my interest in Telecoms has been diminishing. Perhaps this could be a result of my developing passion for blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Now and then I like to express myself about the impact the crypto space has had on me, the journey has been remarkable.
I have some audiobooks on a hard drive which I finally was able to retrieve recently, so one of the books am currently listening to is 50 Success Classic which talks about different successful people like Warren Bennis. I hadn't listened too long before I picked up a sentence that resonates with me.
Success is built by the minute
Over the years on Hive, one of the positive impacts Hive has had on me is time management, I am far from properly allocating time to specific tasks but one thing I remain consistent at is getting things done even if it takes longer and even if it costs me to take shorter breaks.
The mechanics in place on Hive tells me, it requires my time to maximize its benefit as much as possible for me, and that requires not just my time in the community but adding value as well.
Also looking at success by the minute, compound interest comes to mind. It is unfortunate some get on Hive and just lose interest in the little rewards they get for their interaction with the chain. That is where some get it wrong like some friends I have onboarded. Ignoring the power of compound interest. Most of the prominent success figures in our society today didn't just become successful overnight, it took years of consistent building.
We embark on goals throughout life, and in most cases, we want to see the result immediately lacking the character to enjoy success incrementally.
The ability to see success in every day increment is the motivation that keeps me going instead of waiting years for the big success to arrive, and if you ask me how will the big success arrive without making daily steps towards it, I don't have an answer for you.
There is joy in experiencing success incrementally, it is worth embracing compared to the "one day" big success we often dream of.
We owe it to ourselves to make Hive great
