It's All About Your Mindset

in #hive-1092882 years ago

I was going through my old stuff and I came across some flashcards that I had written sometime back from a book I had read. I don't know where I got the insight from but I made flashcards with a pink cardboard and wrote different quotes on it. The quotes I wrote down were those that stood out for me.

One of the many quotes reads "more gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has ever been taken from the earth"_Napoleon Hill.

It's not a new fact that the human mind is a labyrinth of knowledge and complexities. Many great inventions and structures are as a result of someone's thoughts and ideas.

The power our mind holds can't be compared to any other thing in the world. There's no doubt why God made us the superior animal( to those who believe in that story).

I want to look at this from a "Hive" angle. When I began my hive journey few years ago, I started with so much energy and drive. I wanted to be everywhere at all times. The passion to learn new things was there but along the line I started derailing because I thought I wasn't good enough.

I saw contents from other great writers and thought to myself "you have no place in this world dear wongi". That was my mind playing tricks on me. The thought of me 'not being good enough' kept lurking like a heavy dark cloud.

I showed a few of my friends some of my articles and they gave good remarks but my Hive payout said otherwise. I expected to keep making a lot of money from each of my posts. My onboarder told me that it wasn't going to be that way, but I was too occupied with my thoughts to listen. He admitted that I had a lot of potential so he kept motivating me each day. He literally had to visit me twice or three times a week just to ensure I was doing well. If you ask me, I'd say he's a great tutor.

Along the line, I came to a conscious conclusion that I'm a good writer who is still learning. That mindset has helped me a lot. Most times, it's our mindset that keeps us from being successful. Navigating the Hive blogchain can't be done in a day or even a week. There are so many people from different walks of life who are looking to contribute to the growth of Hive in one way or the other and there is you.

With that, I made up my mind to be one of those who help with the growth of Hive. Many people are actively doing this and I admire them a whole lot. I'd love to mention names but the list would be unending.

Making a conscious decision towards growth requires discipline and discipline is one of my upsides. Conscious and insightful posting, commenting and engagement should be on the top of the list of anyone who wants to be successful on the blogchain. Mindset is really important in this journey. Thinking outside the box helps a whole lot.

Lovely post.
It is a bit discouraging when a post you really feel would feel the next hive sensation gets a low payout 😂

My point exactly. Such things are one of the high causes of heartbreak for many hiver😂😂

Thank you for stopping by dear ✨

No problem....😂🙃

The mindset is a powerful tool if used rightly, consciousness is the key to achieving greatness.

Exactly. Consciousness is really vital.

Right. It is not magic. On hive, just like life, we always have to put in the work. Engagement is very important. Also, daily improvement and motivation are the way. This is a great post.

Oh dear, you're very right.

Thank you very much for stopping by dear ✨

My dear, I can't count the number of times I researched about a topic, took hours to write sth good but there was no vote. I felt so bad but I kept coming. I just had to keep moving. I know that someday we'll all get to that place we so desire on this platform.

This is a really insightful and encouraging post. Well done. And hello from Dreemport 🤗

I'm glad you found the post insightful. Thank you for stopping by and dropping a lovely comment dear✨

You're welcome 🤗

This is so true and relatable. When you begin to compare yourself to others, it kills your spirit.
It is wrong to compare yourself because everyone is at different stages of their lives. If a beginner compares herself to someone that has taken the time and effort to get better, of course the results will vary by a huge margin.

I used to do that a lot till I realized that it was stunting my growth instead of doing the opposite.

I hope that as you put in the work and apply self-discipline, you will receive rewards for your hardwork.
Nice article!

Good thing you realized it before it was too late.

I hope that as you put in the work and apply self-discipline, you will receive rewards for your hardwork.

I will do just that.

Thank you Very much for stopping by dear zitalove and also for dropping such a a heartwarming comment. I really appreciate ✨

I had the same mindset back then where I thought I wasn't putting in my effort when I see people earning huge than me. I thought "what is wrong? What am I not doing right?" But I forgot that everyone also prays to be lucky and do better. Then, my mindset shift.

Those people were always improving, so I also started giving my best and hoping for the best some day. Thank God for that change because I do not bother if someone is earning than me because I also have those I am earning more than. That is life.

When we keep getting uninspired because of someone ahead of us, we should also look behind and see those walking our steps too.

It's all about being positive and doing your best. Along the line, we would be happy that we are improving and learning.

This is so true princess. I learnt that if I keep thinking that way, then I won't make any real progress. The change really began with my mindset.

I agree with this too. Positivity matters a whole lot too. With a negative mind, progress can't be made, but with a positive mind, we're able to soar high in the skies.

Thank you very much for dropping such a lovely comment. I really appreciate ☺️

Yours is good.
I heard about this platform almost a year before I took the bold step to join. What hindered my quick registeration was "Hive is difficult and tougher than Readcash".

But when I finally joined, I found out that they're the same thing jareh, it's just a matter of coming up with ideas to write.
I regretted why I didn't joined hive earlier 🙇

Your were very adventurous then. Not many people heard about readcash.

At least you can look back now and be glad that you joined when you did. If you didn't join, I wouldn't have had Kingsley to be gisting with🤧

Readcash was a big blessing then and it was very popular. I wonder why people didn't know.

I just hope the bond never gets weary...let it continue to when we marry and have children 😎

There was a day I went to check all my earnings from the start, on the site, I was shocked to see that I'd earned almost half of Elon Musk's networth🥳....but where was the money? I was using as it were coming 😢.

I hope so too 🤸✨

So your onboarder use to disturb you like you did to me. That's nice to hear. And yeah, sometimes it could be very saddening when a post you definitely poured you heart into isn't appreciated as much as you would've liked. But yes, I know you're a wonderful writer and I'm still learning work where you are Boss.🙌🏽 Keep persevering, it will be worth it all in the end.❤️🤗

If you actually rate yourself on the value of your payout, you'd be doing yourself an injustice. I learned that Hive rewards are not a permanent digit of your worth but rather a form of encouragement. If I come on Hive now, it is because I actually love what this place does to me and rewards are just a plus. You have brought on a certain mindset and rid yourself of the previous. Now, nurture and give that mindset roots by adding value to who you are.

Now this words are just comforting 🥺. I'm still in the nurturing phase and so far, it's been great.

Thank you for your heart warming comment lovely✨

Yes Lovely...
