300th article this year. 65 left!

At the beginning of this year, I set the goal: going from 1000HP to 5000HP. It’s a 5x but the total increase was “simply” by 4000HP.

I say simply as I see some people doing almost 4000HP/month, meaning that it’s something reachable BUT during 2022 I averaged definitely a lower amount. SO, the odds were against me but like in a couple of other projects I am dealing right now with, I understood that my life was almost meant to challenge odds and beat my own limits.

So, I started at the 1st January at 1000HPs and there, started a long journey through tens and tens of publications. Every day something to tell, everyday something to share.

I was scared

I hate empty articles and therefore I knew I was going to struggle to find nice, interesting, worth-reading topics.

I tried. I hope I made it.

I have to be honest.

Last year, I kept sharing a lot of contents and ideas about cryptocurrencies and related stuffs making the profile quite boring being Hive a general blog and not a dedicated business/working blog.

At first I thought that people soon or later were going to appreciate what I was writing but then, @libertycrypto27 made me thinking of something good:

think of what people want to read and not what you want to write

And there I started writing about my adventures and misadventures in wheelchair basketball, my journey into Yoga, my trips, thoughts, weekend activities, working stuffs.

Through the Fire and Flames, like Dragonforce would sing, I reached >4250HP as of today and we made an internal bet: reaching 5000HP at the end of November instead of the end of December. I know, it’s just an ambition/ego thing but it keeps motivating me, doing my best day after day, to increase my stack here on Hive and climbing the ranks.

Honestly and humble speaking, at the first days of this year I could not see this goal, 300 articles in a row, one each day. It was simply too far. With some feelings of fatigue, I told myself.

let’s build the first 100 and then next 100 and when I will be tired, simply think of 1 article a day.

Like soldiers: if you think one step at a time, you will always find some strength to perform a single next step. And then the following one, and so on! I mentally split the target, making it more achievable.

BUT we made it! And now, we are just 65 articles away from the brand new @arcange badge of Yearly Author!

So, let’s celebrate this 300 articles, ramping towards the 365th, for the 31st of December.

Here is the screen with the green bar and the 300/365. This is also helping to keep me going to the end!
