The year 2023 is ending in less than an hour and deep down, I know I should publish this before we enter the new year, so I did it anyways.
I was in my state of origin last night when @starstrings01 called to congratulate me. He told me to guess why he was congratulating me but I couldn’t even guess right until he had to tell me himself (I’m actually quite bad at guessing). He told me that I have hit my HP goals for the year and honestly, I was so so excited. I initially set my mind that it would be until today that I would be to hit my goal after my payout. I don’t know how it happened yesterday, I’m guessing the HP he delegated to me(for being able to meet the 7 days challenge of writing and engaging) helped greatly.
NEWBIES INITIATIVE helped me greatly this year, even with the fact that the meeting started in October. It helped me to set some goals and even stay more consistent on the platform, than I have ever been. For our first task, we were told to set our hive goals for the next three months(December, being the last month). In the post, I set about 3 goals and I am glad to announce that I was able to reach one of the goals entirely😌💃 The three goals I set then were:
- To reach 500HP
- To engage on 10 posts daily
- To reach 100 followers
I was able to achieve my number one goal and I currently have 503.028HP💃💃💃

For the second one, I was only able to do it for some period, but I tried anyways. I will even try better in 2024, may God help me.
For my third goal, I had just 39 followers as at when I set the goal, but right now, I have 70 followers🥳🥳. That’s a massive growth and it is definitely still a win, right?
This has actually given me a lot of encouragement because I realized that one can actually achieve what one set his or her mind to achieve. I also realized the importance of setting goals and I have @newbies-hive to thank for that.
I even set another goal for the first half of 2024 in this post to reach 2000HP. I know if I work hard and put my mind to it, I will definitely achieve it.
I guess that’s all about setting goals and hitting some milestones.
I would like to say one or two things about 2023 in this post too because time won’t permit me to create a separate post for it. So, I want to describe it in few words and be in the mood for the new year to come.
2023 was a lot of things for me, I had highs and a lot of lows. The year didn’t actually go the way I wanted but then, I am still grateful for the lessons learned because they have shaped me greatly (with a sprinkle of trauma sha, lol). My mental health went down the drain this year and my anxiety shot up like a trade on a bull run😂😭. This year was actually a lot of things I never imagined it would be, but I can only pray for a better year ahead.
For the new year we are about to enter, I just want to greatly invest in myself in a lot of different ways. I want to challenge myself and also be a better version of myself. After all, we are all a work in progress. I will allow myself to be human sometimes and not judge myself too much or be too hard on myself. It’s really a lot of love and light from me to me.
May we all have an amazing 2024. Happy new year in advance family.
Thanks for reading❤️
