Today while reflecting on my hive journey, Precisely i began on the 20th of July 2021, today the 20th of march is making me 8 months since i came onboard, In my little days, I discover that the platform has been a blessing, and every one that comes around me and gets to hear about hive, became so curious about it and wants to engage the platform, so far many of them are onboard and are doing very find by Gods grace. I will be making my entry on the contest 
I really will have so much to say, about hive but i will try to put it in about 5 sub-sections in a way to share my reasons for loving Hive.
Love is the key word so we can not tell why we love without first stating what love means to us. I may be different from what many others will say, reasons that Love to me is a choose, not just feelings, reasons being that your feelings about a thing may be bad but your mind is made up to love, feelings can not stop it, Passion they say is a proof of pursuit, show me were or what you spent more of your time with, i will tell your what you truly love.
No1 : Hive Gives Access to unique Friends:
The people you have around you, can make meaning out of your life, and can also squish life out of you, but i make bold to say that Hive have become one of the most interesting place, were i have met very unique friends, full of life, virtue and value, whish have added to my life, virtue and value. I have enjoyed the privilege of meeting very amazing people, all around the world.
No2 : Hive Grants opportunities and Enhance self discovery:
There are many golden opportunities in the world, before now, I only had access to a few within my environment but through hive family, i have been able to explore Golden opportunities across the globe. I had always known that there was more to my life than what i saw, but i could not help until i came on hive, now a new dimension value has been added to my family, by privilege of the amazing opportunities i have encountered on hive.
No3 : Addition of Extra income:
Life for us in this part of world and across the globe can be very difficult when there is no enough income, yes money definitely will not bring happiness but will reduces and sometimes cut off lots of insult, and will make life more better and easier. when i began, i saw hive as a side hustle but as i engaged the more, i realized that the more my commitment, the more my earning. today i can gladly say that, hive on a weekly base is able to settle my bills, at least to about 60%, this are combination of content creation reward, the staking rewards, my little delegations as well as the second layer rewards. it comes little but constant.
No4 : Personal Skills and passion developments:
its so amazing that my life was full of skills but i never knew i had them, come onboard, i have leant so much in the last few months and as a result have stared up things in my inside that were lying dormant, I had difficulties in even writing letters but a few days of going through the content created by many other members on the blockchain, Now i read like never before, trying to know what happens in the globe, so as to be updated, as a result, my creative skills have been build up, the passion have so increased, I have learnt consistency and the true meaning of work from the blockchain.
No5 : Savings and Investment strategies:
Few years ago as an under graduate, I made some savings but just in one day, i lost everything I saved in many years, It was not an easy thing for me but God alone helped me out, as a result i never wanted to have anything doing with any online investment.
Today the story has changed, I see the hive blockchain as a comfortable platform for any digital investment, I power up my
hive stake, delegate to a few of my new onboard friends and as well invest in the hive-engine tokens, sports, pop, cent, 1up etc, were i daily, receive rewards for curation.
Summary :
My life in the past 8 months have not been the same ever since i came in contact with the hive blockchain, Hive i will say is a platform for all, one key that i have learnt to be the success key on hive, is consistency, it is very important to be passionate about any thing you set your heart to do, most times, like it was with me in my early days on the platform, earnings will not come as you so expect but as you give it time and diligently engage the roles of the game, your efforts begins to attracts rewards that is commensurate to the effort you put in.
Finally what little effort can not, more effort can do it, do well to follow your passion and stay focus. Thanks to the hive family for all that you have done for me and family in the last 8 months, I pray that the blockchain will only go forward, we will all stay alive, as hive wax stronger and higher.
Happy anniversary to the hive family!!!
