It’s hard not to get swept away by the current of life. I speak for myself: as much as I have ambitions, I tend to settle, only to look back and realize I could have tried harder to achieve my dreams. Using Hive as an example, even though I’ve been here for some time, my perspective on the platform has always been that of a side income, something I could tap into when needed, and that’s what I’ve done year after year. Many times, I also felt that the effort I put into writing well for certain communities wasn’t properly rewarded, so this always influenced me not to be very consistent in my production. Upon my recent return to Hive, I decided not to chase results anymore, but to simply keep producing with as much consistency as possible. The rewards will be a consequence, but I no longer see them as something that will save some bills; instead, I see them as something that will help me achieve a big goal.
