Growth Takes Time

in #hive-1679226 months ago

Saturday is going fairly well for us up here. Nothing special was planned and time slowed down a bit it feels nice. With just 3 hours left for the day, I think it is safe to say we had a great one.

Sometime in the late afternoon, I wandered in the yard and discovered that the lone eggplant we have is flowering and already fruiting. The plant lost most of its leaves and a few branches in the previous months due to excessive heat. Although we had been watering it, there was a bleak sign of recovery so we thought it would wilt and die at some point. Surprisingly, it is now exhibiting new life and a promising growth, so yay!!!



Anyhow, week 21st of the year is concluding, and time for another evaluation of how things have been here on the blockchain. We do this weekly so it is more like a tradition, the purpose of which is to check where we are (progress) toward our targets and make necessary adjustments when needed.

And so without stretching far and wide, here is a quick overview of my account in terms of numbers:

Previous WeekCurrent BalanceIncrease
Hive Power (HP)19,54219,701159
Leo Power (LP)30,03630,04913
HBD Savings9701,01343


There is growth in all three which is nice. The Hive Power increased by 0.8%. According to Hivestats, the account's current curation APR is 8.86%, and earned nearly 28 HP in curation rewards in 7 days. It won't be surprising when that amount grows to 30, 40 HP, or more a week because we have been building in the last few years and still doing so (creating and curating content, staking, showing up daily, etc).

There was no significant increase in the staked LEO (Leo Power) but that was intentional. I plan to add to it during HPUD (6 days from today) and on the 15th next month on LPUD. The HBD Savings had the best growth so far with 4.43% in the last 7 days.

So yes, everything is on track and it's all good.

All thanks to the Saturday Savers Club initiative for encouraging us to set goals, be committed and accountable for them. If you are up to challenge yourself and do better, check this post out and join me and the other 58 Savers (and counting) by leaving a comment under the article stating your primary and secondary goals for the year and you will be added to the chart on the next week's update.

Meanwhile, the crypto market has been mostly positive. Meme coins taking the lead in terms of gains. HIVE however seems to be taking its time around the 30-31 cents region. A few days ago, I read a thread that made me wonder. It said why meme coins could get to multimillion (and billion) market caps but HIVE could not (not the exact words). Why indeed? I have no fracking idea, but maybe we are going to see some price actions soon? Hoping so...

Until then, let us be patient and continue to BUIDL, save, and stack up more. Much like the plants in the garden, growing our Hive account takes time.

You are right. There is no shortcut to growth. It is Consistency over and over again

There is no shortcut to sustainable growth and recognition.

True that. Time and effort are a must.

It's so true,l dearest ,growth doesn't happen overnight. I've found that each small step forward adds up over time. It's about patience and perseverance, isn't it? Thanks for the reminder dear friend

Yes. Small steps add up. And just like you said, patience and perseverance. Thank you too, fren.

You're most welcome my dearest friend, Happ Sunday To you dear

Growth in general takes time, but sometimes we forget this and become distressed if we don't begin to see immediate changes as per our live'a processes.

Yeah, forgetting causes impatience and unnecessary stress. Thank you !LADY for your awesome input.

I guess the heat and hoe it loses the leaves make it blooming faster, I read somewhere it is about survival instinct that forces the plant to regenerate, in this case bear fruit for your eggplant.

Memecoin is all about pummp and dump if not all, many of them. but we are here for the long run, I guess the current price is not hurt so much isn't it?
!LUV !PIZZA

Oh wow, I didn't even know. So that's how some plants even in the toughest of conditions. That's truly amazing.

And it's true what you said about memecoins. Most of them aren't here for the long haul, HIVE is. And no, the current price is okay, giving us the opportunity :)

Yes, I think that is called water stress, one of the techniques to make a potted tree plant to bear fruit faster.
But I have never try it before, since my house is too small for the fruiting tree. !LOLZ

that is right, it accumulating time, and you are doing it beautifully and wonderfully CJ. : )
!PIZZA

Whoa, that is something new for me so thank you for sharing ❤️

And so are you :) Let's continue to build while we can 😉

!LUV

The day went nice and slow, great!
Savings require a conscientious effort and you are doing it right,.. 😊

Trying my best, Jossy :) Thank you and wishing you a fantastic weekend.
