Whatever in life we call a journey is something that requires three things from us: perseverance, consistency and dedication. There must be success as far as these three things are worn head on. My journey on Hive started sluggishly, I started and fell, I was begged, persuaded and pampered to see Hive as a beacon.

When I took the bull by the horn, I saw the values of Hive and since that day I have always been grateful to my mentor @justinpencilz. I created my Hive account on December 2021 and it was dormant, I started Hiving fully from December 2022 and since then till date all I can say about myself have been consistency.

I love celebrations 🎉🎉, no matter how little or how big, I just love making myself feel that 1st class confidence of achieving a milestone. Celebration is important no matter how little what we have achieved is, it boosts our self confidence and pushes us to soar higher.

My journey on Hive has had its ups and downs, I remember I didn't celebrate my first anniversary due to my inability to see the great value Hive poses.

Then, my second anniversary last year came and the same thing happened because I was unable to reach my Hive goal of reaching 1000 HP by that time. Life happened so bad on my path that I was in depression for close to three months. I was filled with so many uncertainties and doubts coupled with other personal issues.

I remember I used to visit the block chain then but it was a difficult phase to pen down anything. The constant notifications from Hive interface @ecency was a great encouragement and a reminder to my passion for blogging. That was a great motivation for me to begin my blogging again. Writing helped me step out of that phase and all thanks to that constant notifications.

Being fully active on Hive for a year has been a blessing. My writing has improved a lot and my understanding of various topics too. Engaging in terrific authors' posts contributed significantly to these improvements.

Is this ups and downs together with my standing up to doing what I love most and attaining this goal at last that pushed me to publish this post today.

I still remember how I started with 25 reputation, 0 HP, 0 HBD but I was determined to do what I love doing without looking at the little beginning. I was interested in growth and self discovery.

This journey wouldn't have been possible without encouragement from curators, communities and friends. Communities always making provision for prompts to keep my hands on deck, the upvotes from curators and friends, the assistance from my friends who turned brothers and sisters on Hive. Thanks to everyone who played a great part in my Hive growth.

I look forward to celebrating more milestones on Hive. Clinging glasses to more heights on Hive.
