Hi fellow Lions,
Today I’m glad to have finally met my goal for the year 2020! (A few days ago, haven’t posted it)
Double Dolphin
Earlier this year I set myself a goal of reaching 10K Hive Power! It was a long road and one that I wasn’t sure at some points I would honestly reach lol.
I’ve been trying to set goals for myself more in life as the older I get because goals are ways to keep you on task in a sense. There’s been some adjustments of goals along the way but the important thing with life and goals, in my opinion, is you have to learn how to set different levels of goals. I had an ideal goal, an optimistic goal and a stop-gap goal. My ideal goal was to hit 10K hive power when factoring in my delegations. My ideal goal was to hit 15k Hive Power but that was more optimistic than anything because of the level of my ability to post and be active while still have a wife and child.
The stop-gap goal was going to be 8K hive power which I thankfully crossed back in October. These types of tiers of goals I think are important because at least me personally it gives me things to attain and keeps you on a track to make milestones.
Engagement and Exposure
The other important aspect of these types of things is a lot of times you aren’t going to be very successful without being engaged in the platform. My engagement could be better for sure but I think it’s a decent level where I can balance work, personal and digital life. If someone is on here and they expect to have some degree of success they need to be engaging and active with posts and comments. I haven’t been perfect at engaging these past few weeks but I make it a point to do so at least a few posts!
For the calendar year 2021 I would like to set myself a goal of 20k hive power. Do you think that should be my optimistic goal? My stop-gap goal will be 15k hive power!

Double dolphin, or single mutant dolphin with two heads...Clarification required. :)
Nice work on the attainment of your 2020 hive goal mate, consistent effort makes this happen. Well done.
Do what you can, when you can...That you know it could be better means you probably want it to be so, but we have to prioritise so do that, and engage when you can. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man I appreciate it!
I'm going with aquatic-Frankenstein two headed dolphin! The kind that was crafted in a sketchy Russian lab in the height of the Cold War to wreak havoc on unsuspecting swimmers on the shores of Jersey. Lol
As our son gets older he gets more demanding with time which I love so I have been spending more time with him. These past two weeks have been fighting more because he says with the most satisfaction "nnnnnnooope" if I ask him to kindly do something like not jump over my crafting project lol. Fun times!
When I can get him down early like I did tonight, I get to enjoy some engaging! Score.
Goals have played a key role in our lives for the past 5 years so we've started to incorporate them more into things so it's been nice!
Frankendolphin works...Look out Jersey Shore. :)
I'll be honest with you man, I would think less of you if you put hive before your real life and family as I don't feel there is any plausible excuse for that. Sure, some turn to hive hoping to provide for their family, but when it all boils down it might not be the best way to go. So, do what you do brah, get after it in real life and do what you can here. Get after those goals. ⭐
Yeah it’s been nice to spend time chatting with people I consider friends on here and spend more time with the fam. I was spending a bit more time than I should have on the chain so I’ve thankfully scaled back to a manageable level!
Balance mate, that's what life takes...Sometimes it's weighted one way, sometimes the other and occasionally it's evenly poised.
With my years of skateboarding, that balance is well understood! Just glad I'm able to do what I can. Merry Christmas Eve to you over in Aussie land!
I went on one of those contraptions once. Didn't end well for me. Lol.
Yeah, Xmas Eve here (1310 currently). I've got some cooking and prep to do for tomorrow but it's all pretty casual. Faith is working, last day of the year for her, should be home 7pm...Just in time to miss out on all the work. :) (She hates cooking).
wow cograts! when we set goals, it's easier to reach them. In most cases people just dream of smth blurring "I wanna be happy, I wanna be successful". we need definite goals.
It's great you've succeed!
Sorry for the late reply! Thank you I appreciate it, setting goals has been one of the best things we've done in our lives! I learned how to really start to set them from my amazing wife! The vague goals of happiness etc aren't effective because they aren't measurable like others such as financial or hive goals are. I don't find vague goals effective!
Big congratulations. Achieving goals will keep you moving. Here's to may more of 10k HPs😇
Thanks man, I certainly hope so!
Congratulations !
Keep doing what brings you and your loved ones happiness in life ;)

Thank you I appreciate it! We have shifted to that mindset a few years ago after our son was born and haven't looked back. Life's too short to waste on headaches and negativity!
Congrats on reaching the "double dolphin" milestone!
Thanks, it's felt good but even more so for me because I am doing 99% manual curation so I love seeing my account grow, I can give out more and more votes to lots of people. At one of the best points, with my meager votes I gave out 8$ in a week from voting! I was stunned but knew I wanted to keep that going and make it stronger!
Congrats, well done you. I'm finding it hard to engage at the moment, mainly as there's not much to engage WITH.
I need new people to follow!
Yeah I hear you lol I’ve been on a lazy streak and haven’t followed brand new people in a bit. Trying to keep more to my feed but I did just follow a woman from Crimea who is pretty interesting!
Thanks, hope you and Jaime are good! The Rover posts have been fun, I read some of them and are meaning to comment on them!
Congratz buddy!
You should easily be able to hit 20K next year :D

Thanks man! I'm hoping that 20k won't be too hard. Curation really kicks ass in helping get things going. Some of my best days curating gets me just shy of 5 HP which is awesome!
That quite good!
It does seem like you earn the most through postinf, so keep that up! :P

Huh? Lol. Confused here by the last section.
I don't seem to see the notification of your comment until I looked at my post. Annoying these damn black lists.
Yeah sorry dude I didn’t see your reply until I went to my replies section for some reason. I’m going to see if I can get out of this annoying box they put me in for low rating people being hidden from my notifications.
