I know I am too late to jump my entry for the 3rd week of Buwan ng Wika, but I will continue to write things, especially since I know someone might get inspired or have an idea of how I handle things in my journey. Some people asked me in kidding matter what was the secret of Yonoya. It's a not secret anymore, for I always say this to others.
As a blogger writer or any content creator, the enemy is self. It's easy to get motivated and gets to the point of not being motivated. It's easy to write but more complicated and complex as the days and weeks pass. There will always be a time when you will wonder if you will continue or not. Same with things in life. It will lead you to ask if items are still worth trying on.
What was the secret of consistency?
How is consistency? When people say they are not consistent in writing, they always refer to daily writing habits. Being consistent in writing doesn't require you gave to post every 24 hours passed. It could be once every other day, once a week, or a month. Still consistent enough. One mistake I have seen is pressure. Some newbies pressure themselves so much that it makes them question their consistency.
In my personal experience, I don't write daily since I started my journey in crypto-blogging. As my stay goes long, I now embrace the 'consistency is the practice of choice.' The secret of consistency is not forcing yourself to be consistent. Some people find it hard to write daily for its drains them, then don't—practice in a way where you are comfortable in what you are doing.
Be competitive and not so competitive.
In reality, jealousy will drag us down. You will witness why some people will get smooth, and you were not. As a newbie, getting jealous is normal, but don't let jealousy lead you to lousy competitiveness.
When you feel jealous of someone, you become easily get demotivated. When you see your friends high, we think they are entirely high, yet no. Stays in focus; don't let the damaging competitiveness conquer you.
If you don't think of competition, you won't stress yourself; enjoy the vibe—the limit of your capacity.
But in my personal experience, I am competitive but not in others yet in myself. I constantly challenge my inner being to become something, innovate, and try things I have never yet tried. I always looked back on my past blogging, and I tried to compete in my old version of mine to create a new one. I always seek for innovation and improvement, that's the secret of mine as I don't love competition, but just inside of mine, I don't like to compete with others, let my limit becomes mine and let their capacity becomes their own, not to interfere.
Don't be afraid to try something new.
I was curious about NFT last year but secretly. I am waiting for the right time, and it may be the right one to help me. Then comes @jijisaurart , who is willing to tutor things that she knows. I am also curious about Podcasting, but I am not yet ready to try not until @tpkidkai motivates me. I always wanted to try something new that would give me new ideas and experiences.
As a newbie, don't be afraid to try new things, don't let the overthinks comes into your head and stay forever. I am an overthinker, but I embraced those worries to turn them into something beneficial.
Focus on your goal, not on others.
Have some goals. It doesn't need to be huge or how impossible. Having a simple plan is better than nothing at all. Focus on your goals, not on others. Sometimes we like to admire people and also hate them for others who admire them. Make sure you focus on your goal first and foremost, not on other life in the platform you were chosen.
My Hive goal is to have at least 1000HP of my own until the end of the year. I know that there will be a time when I must focus on my other goal, with is my career, so I make my total effort to concentrate on my Hive goal. My hive goal is long-term, earn HP as much as I can and wait until the best opportunity awaits, maybe ten years from now. It's okay that my goal.
Where I loved to see other accounts doing idle yet still earning some HP, I loved to be one shortly.
Being a newbie is easy when we are genuine and not faking things out. Also, success is smooth when we don't own others for our success.
I am new to Hive and will be two months old next September 7, 2022. But I am not a newbie. The last thing I could say to newbies is that 'enjoy' there will be so many dramas in our life and others will find it something that will result in demotivation. Remember that the greatest enemy we have is not other people but ourselves.
Find a way where you will learn your new skills, look for something that will give you more experience, and focus on things that matter.
I was not a blogger writer last 2020, but I became one in 2021. I was not a crypto trader at an early age, but now I am one. I am not a podcast or NFT, but now I am trying to be one. This is because I am not afraid to fall and experiments with new things. I loved challenges, and I lived with the faith of being one.
There was no secret of Yonong, but if there is something, look at those I mentioned. Those are the things that molded me into what and who I am now. I am not the best, but I feel I was and will agree when my inner self says so. Thanks for reading…
