I believe that patience and stubbornness are my greatest strengths. Those two attributes have allowed me to achieve some goals I had set for myself. I started training those traits by solving puzzles. I have solved one puzzle with 6000 pieces and another bag from a puzzle with 42000 pieces. So basically I have completed two pieces with 6000. So what goals I have achieved thanks to my patience? I started writing my blog in 2017. I took some breaks but always returned to Hive. It took me years to reach this milestone but few days ago I reached 10k HP and and I am close to 400 HBD. I could have either given up because I was earning cents or sold all my assets when my account value was 7-8k(?) dollars. I did not do that. I believed that even that 7-8k was a far cry from what Hive could be worth in the future. To this day I still believe that Hive has life changing potential not just for me but for most people in the world. And so I continued to write posts daily for a few years(?). Some of those days were like today when I posted multiple posts per day. My posting winning streak was broken only when my pc had to be repaired. And then again when I was helping neighbors gather firewood...
As you can see in this post my patience and stubbornness also helps me creating art. I reckon that I have spend few hundreds hours on some of my art pieces. And I have no idea how many thousands of hours it took me to create all my pieces. So far all that work has not reflected in sales- I started making art in 2017 and have only sold 5 pieces. But despite this I am not giving up on my art either. I keep trying new things like new materials and mediums. Now I plan to go on a new adventure- becoming a digital artist. Perhaps I will be more successful in selling digital art? So I while I have not achieved all my goals my patience and stubbornness has served me well. Also in the words of one of my favorite anime characters Tokuchi Toua:
A low possibility means it's not zero.
So there is always a chance that I will prevail as long as I keep believing in myself, my art and Hive.
