Hi, Hivians!
Today is the happy 17th week of my initiative.
Last week we talked about motivation. And today I want to talk about the moments when we really feel alive. I think everyone has them different, but there are many that are the same. I'm sure everyone has their own special moments, places or people with whom they feel truly alive.
Perhaps that feeling accompanies a feeling of love, happiness, or elation. Or a feeling of emptiness and lightness, like when one meditates. Or it may be a mixture of different feelings at the same time. But these are the moments in which one wants to live and breathe most fully.
There are times, days, or events when this feeling is very faint. Everyone has black lines or bad days. And then it pays to remember even more that we are still alive and tomorrow may bring wonderful moments again.
Honestly, I'm going through just such a period in my life right now. Sometimes it can be evident in my sad posts, but I still try to carry more positive energy. Sooner or later things will get better, and good will win. Right now it's important not to lose good people, not to miss opportunities to give love and smile no matter what.
Things are so interesting in life sometimes. When I believed in the power of community, I found Hive. When I saw life in every day, I found We Are Alive Tribe. As my Hive brother said, everything comes when the time is right...
Right now, to feel alive, all I have to do is go outside and take a walk along a lake or in the woods. Even a crowded street is suitable as a last resort. The scenes of a mother hugging her child are unparalleled. Or a girl walking with a bright smile in the pouring rain. Or the sad eyes of the man who dropped his groceries right in front of his house door. You can watch this movie endlessly, every day. And it's called life!
Yes, it doesn't take much for me to feel alive.
What do you like to do to feel more alive?
I will, as always, end my thoughts at the end of this post. Now to business!
Today is the 17th round of my giveaway gratitude, and I'm glad so many people supported the idea and participated in my act of gratitude and gratuitous giving. I will be giving away 5 HSBI + 1 this week and beyond. Another 1 HSBI I will be giving away as a token of my appreciation for various things. It can be a sincere comment or just a contribution to Hive life. Perhaps it will be advice to me or to the community. Or it might even be the bitter truth spoken to my (and only me!) face! In fact, I don't really know what or who will inspire me yet, myself. But from this day forward, I will be giving my thanks to one more participant on my own behalf! I think it will be interesting! So let's get started!
Goal
As I wrote in the first post Giveaway of Gratitude. 5 HSBI. CLOSED!, I give every day and want to take it to Hive! The purpose of this next giveaway is to give back to Hive and its members my share of appreciation and love! This is a gratuitous giveaway. That is, if the payout for this post is 5.01 Hive, I will give away 6 HSBI! The only thing I get is your love and part of the Hive SBI (that's how HSBI works).
What is HSBI
HSBI is a social experiment that has grown into something bigger. I have read many posts and other information about it. In my opinion, it is worthy of both Hive and this world in general! If you don't already know what HSBI (Hive SBI) is, read this post: Hive SBI
Why am I leaning specifically toward HSBI? Because this value that I give away also stays at Hive. It also shows my love for this blockchain and everyone involved!
Rules
- Leave a comment below the post.
- Wait 7 days from the time the post is published.
- Bots and multi-accounts are not participating and will be tracked manually by me. That's what the 7 days are for.
- The five winners will each receive 1 HSBI.
- One participant I choose will receive 1 HSBI personally from me! I will publish the reasons in my next post.
It's simple, isn't it? If it is, then go for it! I'd love to see your love for the entire Hive community!
I will acknowledge all the past giveaway participants. If you're not interested in further mention, just let me know in the comments under the post and forgive me if it bothered you!
Past giveaway winners:
@ bradleyarrow, @ marilour, @ crazyphantombr, @ serhotest, @ synrg
+1 @ ironshield
Congratulations, guys!
The sixth winner, I chose one of the old-timers of Hive and the We Are Alive Tribe. This is a mister who has a big family and lots of life in his daily posts. I always smile when I read him. This is definitely someone who carries some of that life energy here at Hive! I think the same thing happens in real life, too.
Dear @ ironshield, sir, thank you for your time and help to this community and Hive! I can't imagine how you deal with so many of your adorable kids! Stay Alive!
All the appreciation awards were sent out about 1 hour ago. I received my HSBI portion for last week and am still waiting for this week. Here are my current HSBI figures ⬇️
Conclusion
Life is a game. Play!
This phrase has gotten me out of many unpleasant situations and still helps me to this day. If we're already here, why not take advantage of it and do something good? Give kindness, smiles, or rejoice in the little things at hand.
It's raining - somewhere there will be a rainbow. Something doesn't work out - there's an opportunity to learn something or learn something new.
No one knows what tomorrow will bring, but we have a great today!
Remember this! Peace!
That's all for now! Hive ON! Hive Five! We Are Alive!
