Well, this was an unusually long break from content creation... Sometimes I don't have ideas or the will to sit down and write, but this time, I have plenty of excuses... 😃 More about them can be found in the video below that I recorded from today's walk! The week behind us was very tough and I think this was maybe the second time I went OUT OF HOME in the last 6-7 days! 😱 If I just rewind the tape where I was doing Actifit posts every single day from my daily walks, it looks like I moved backward with taking care of myself...
For all that, I can blame only myself... My main issue is that when I encounter some problem, I HAVE TO SOLVE it... It doesn't matter if it is a personal problem, or a business problem, or even someone else's problem that I'm asked to help... And this week, oh boy, did I have plenty of them... lol... I did that to myself in the past and to be honest, that's the main reason why I didn't go into programming and coding... Knowing myself, I would spend sleepless nights over and over again, trying to solve an issue in a code (and there are always some)...

On the other side, this experience helped me to see certain things differently... We many times take things for granted... For example, we think that we will always have our parents by our side, friends who can help us when we need them, or some Hive friends who will show up every day... Life happens, people have problems offline and online, and some problems need time to be solved... I would always try to get rid of them ASAP, but, often, that's just not possible...
Another thing is when you do something that nobody did... The probability of failure is bigger as it's an unknown territory... It's easier when you have someone by your side or a team of people who are working along with you on the same thing... Then you solve the problem, and everything works fine... for you, for others... and many times, people have no idea about things that happened behind the scenes, time spent in solving it, maybe money too, and the effort invested by many people... All that leaves scarves... Less time for family, worse health caused by sitting in a chair for hours and hours, lack of sleep...
So, if you have time, check out the short video below... If not, no worries... I'm grateful to have you guys by my side on this Hive journey, and I hope we can learn from each other to stress less and have more fun!
Back to the #MyHiveGoals numbers... It has been 3 weeks since the last post... Let's see if numbers went up or down (yeah, that is possible with this year's goals)... 😃

That big yellow/greenish bar was usually bigger, but 250 HP on a #HivePUD isn't bad at all... Maybe those 1K days will come back in the future... For now, stacking as much as I can...
First things first... The most important of all is, of course, the HivePower goal! In the last 3 weeks, I have added 1128 HP to that one, which isn't enough to catch up with my monthly goal... But, I believe that with the compounding effect, closer to the end of the year, these numbers will get up... And of course, if I kick myself more in the butt to work harder and add more value to my posts and the chain!
My HBD goal was aligned with everyone's thinking that this year we will have a huge bull market... My idea was to take some profits from my other coins outside HIVE and bring them here, in the form of HBD... As I hate banks, my HIVE wallet is my bank, and staked HBD is ideal for those grey and rainy bear market days... But... "Our" idea of how markets SHOULD do is sometimes different from what markets REALLY DO... So, we are still waiting for those bulls to come... 😃 I got some interest payments and added to that part of author rewards to my savings and pushed that number for $100 up...
My Hive Meetups goal is still at 0, but it looks like I have already missed my first opportunity this year! 🤦 @ninaeatshere has organized a Hive meetup in Madrid, but it was on very short notice and I couldn't organize myself to get there on time... I hope I will catch the next one!
Regarding my gaming goals, the Rising Star goal is doing well... I didn't reach my monthly goal, but I have begun opening more packs per week than usual... Also, I stepped out more aggressively by buying cheap cards from the markets, and all that should be visible in the following week's numbers...
And the last goal is regarding the GolemOverlord game... That is the goal that I mentioned when I said that the number CAN GO DOWN... 😂 Anyway, it didn't this time, and I hope it will not in the future... For now, that's the only monthly goal that I have hit!
Finally, these are my initial numbers and goals for 2025, created on January 5th, 2025...
