Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I'm here with some reflection on my Hive Power goals and if I can make it!

Can I Get To 25k HP by EOY?

With an incredible place like Hive, one of the things that has really helped me over the past 2 years is to have some type of goals of various things that I'm doing here. The first goal that I set out and have been able to achieve since I started setting myself a goal, is to consistently have a post published every single day without missing one. Granted, I've been very lucky in that I haven't had some unfortunate life circumstance that would preclude me from being able to do writing for at least a week, which is about the normal amount of posts I've got scheduled into the future.

Some of the other goals that I've been setting for myself towards the middle to end of last year is the goals from a token and Hive Power perspective. I was able to make some considerable gains towards those goals since I started formulating some goals for myself but what I've also done is try to set some lofty goals! So far this year I've been incredibly happy to have achieved my lowest goal, my ideal goal and I'm not floating near my lofty goal!

I've been reading a lot of @ezrider's posts on the aspects of having financial goals and I think I started setting myself these types of goals before they started writing these posts but after reading them it's inspired me to get better at having these types of goals! There are a lot of people to learn from and I'm taking advice from some great people, him included (I think it's a guy, but don't want to assume, there are plenty of financially brilliant women too!) and it's inspired me to set some aggressive goals and try hard to meet those goals. There are no negative consequences if I don't meet those goals such as if people don't meet financial goals if they are in sales or something but for me, it's important that I try to get to those goals.

I was thinking tonight that I should try to do some rough calculations and see if I can make things line up, to see if I could actually get to the goal of 25k Hive Power for the year.

Based on some of the numbers that I'm pulling in, which are really good numbers considering that a few years ago I was doing fractions of this in a month, never mind in a week! So in that regard I'm stoked for the progress I've made and really enjoy that. However, I am unsure if I'll be able to hit my goal! I'm trying to keep in mind that I have other obligations that I don't want to give up such as #LPUD and Power Up and Sponsor day, so I am a little unsure if, according to the trend of the past 30 days, I can attain the 25k Hive Power goal.

What's interesting is I had a little streak where I was making some incredible payouts for some of the posts and I'm not going to lie that it was awesome seeing those numbers coming in! I was able to save more HBD, exchange more and power up more. All of it goes into Hive in one way or another because I believe in the platform, the technology but I'm also saving and investing for the future.

One of the things that people, both new and old, sometimes don't think of or remember is that nothing is guaranteed! I was in the favor of a whale or two for a little bit and it felt great but then that support went away. I'm not at all upset about it! That's how things shake out around here and it's one of those things that one appreciates incredibly when it happens but we have to remember and learn that we should never expect things to continue in a specific way long term.

If I'm doing some calculations according to the payouts and rewards that I've got in for the past 30 days, plus my curation for the past 30 days, I'm thinking that it's likely I will get incredibly close! However I don't think I'll be able to cross the 25k margin by the end of the year unless I can hit a payday in one way or another. I was kind of hoping that RiftWatchers would net me more liquid Hive to power up, by selling vouchers and other assets so that I could finance some other things on the chain. That did materialize to net me 200 Hive I think, which is absolutely incredible, considering that I'm more of a casual investor than others are with a place like Splinterlands but, I was hoping for more.

With the release of SPS a little over 1 year ago, I was able to net over 4,000 liquid Hive to power up! I'm glad that I got what I did for the vouchers near the RiftWatchers launch as it pushed me closer to the 25k goal. In the end though, only time will tell if I can achieve the 25,000 Hive Power goal for the year. I am certainly going to be gunning for that number so that I can mark that goal off and look towards 2023 for additional goals. For the time being though, looking what's right in front of us is also an important thing, to see what we can do in the immediate future!
