I was checking my activity chart on hive not too long ago and it is not what it used to be in the past. My excuse is that i have been busy with life, but then there is a real struggle to come back to a life i have lived for the past four years– writing, reading and speculating.
Being in a speculative space is almost synonymous with living in echoes, where your thoughts and that of the people around you, keep bouncing around in the same predictive pattern. I can easily when and what Mr. A is going to write about–probably nothing he believes in, but hey he needs to make a buck or two.
Everyone seems to be in a box of their own and it is understandable, we are all creatures of habits. However, it gets awfully predictable and boring when we keep hearing and doing the same things repeatedly. The obvious solution is growth, but that is easier said than done.
I want to do things differently, or at least try. Well, i am not the type of a creator who creates just one style of content, but asides from being versatile, one needs to improve their skillset. That is the only way to enjoy the process of creating (value).
I was having a discussion with a friend and fellow hivian some weeks back about doing more than just showing up each day. At some point, we all need to start doing more than the barest minimum and start doing things that matter.
I want what i do here to matter, and that would mean having a greater impact on other people’s lives than myself (or pocket). I havent been able to do that effectively for some time now and i guess it explains my indifference towards hive lately.
I need to reconnect–to what? I don’t know, but i am going to keep trying. I am clearly not motivated by money as i once did. I have gotten past a certain threshold where i not consumed by the need to have things, nor i am worried about the future. My earnest desire is to have an impact on the world around me.
My desire will determine the work I do this year. Asides from my major goal, I want to look back at the end of this year and be able to mention a sizable number of people my life and experience have impacted positively.
