I know that today's post looks like the one from yesterday, but I will try to add additional thoughts on top of it... When you engage with others on HIVE, or in real life, you always get some new ideas, or confirmations of your ideas... The same happened in the talks that I had in the Zaragoza meetup, where I had an interesting "on streets" talk with 
We didn't talk directly about building and growing accounts on the social media networks, but we did touch on some important issues and directions where focus our time and energy... You see, social networks can distract you a lot from your "original" plan, especially if you aren't focused... One of the main obstacles in your way is "social network fakeness"... You can see it everywhere, not just here on HIVE... People tapping each other on the shoulder, flattering words all over the place, but all that, without any meaning... Without any connections or emotions connected to it... I mean, I don't have anything against helping and motivating each other, but if it is sincere and honest than it's REAL...

I don't know why people think that those things can't be "detected"? When someone isn't sincere, or it is just faking... But, why it is so "dangerous" for your growth?
It is important as you are investing your time, and your attention to something that has no meaning, it will not help you in anything as it will distract you from your goal, and your journey... Time spent on fake people is a lost time, that you could use for hanging out with people who do care.
That's probably one of the reasons why I like these HIVE Meetups as you can know even better the people that you met here on the blockchain! When you meet someone in real life, there are no fake impressions, it's face-to-face and everyone is there because he/she WANTS TO! Through a talk with Paloma, I realized that exactly that is what I was searching for (or expecting) from a social network... To make new friends and REAL relationships that can last... Everything else is just a waste of time...
What is the easiest way to get to this point? Begin viewing people behind usernames... Unfortunately, I saw many people here looking at others like some kind of bots, computer programs, or even worse, milking cows that will upvote their posts every time, no questions asked... Behind every username, behind every post, there is a person, and as soon as we realize that, we will have more fun and enjoy this social network in the way it should be... Building friendships and making better our lives and the lives of people that we care about...
Let's go back to the #MyHiveGoals part of the post, and as usual, in the beginning, let's check out HiveStats...

I said that I would maybe raise my HivePower for this year, so let's do it, but only unofficially, I will try to get to 80K until 01.01.2024! It would mean that I have to power up 2.5K per month, which is 500 HP over the number I did in the past couple of months... It's not impossible, but it will need an additional effort... 🙂

In the last 7 days, I have accumulated 270 HivePower which isn't bad, but if I want to get to the 80K, I will need at least 100 more, or to be exact, 375 HP per week!!!
The bull market and LeoAds activation "killed" my additional accumulation of LEO Power in my account... I have been gathering nice chunks of tokens, but I was a bit greedy and I decided to trade them when the price went up... Nothing bad there, but I wasn't focused enough on the goal, I suppose...
The goal is still on, but objectively, I doubt that I will reach it... Anyway, I'm not quitting and I will keep adding tokens to my LEO Power... In the last week, I have staked 47 LEO tokens... Not too much, but it's better than nothing...
GAMING GOALS - Flexible Goals
As usual, my Rising Star goal is the most predictable lately as I'm in the "routine" mode... Doing missions, buying and opening packs regularly, and adding those cards day by day...
I have added an exact number of cards this week as the week before... 177 NFTs were added to the collection, which shrinks the gap to the yearly goal by a bit more than 1000 cards!
In the last #MyHiveGoals report, I mentioned that the GLX tokens staking will finish and it happened 2-3 days ago... No new rewards will be added from that income source, and my "final number" is exactly 185011 tokens!
There was an announcement of activating the ranked games and probably earnings from playing in the GLX tokens, so that could be the next income stream... Besides that, I'm waiting for diesel pool LP rewards, but I haven't heard anything new about that... If you have some info about it, please let me know in the comment section...
It's time to update the numbers and put them into the spreadsheet until the next week! So, freshly updated numbers for #MyHIVEGoals, on November 12th, 2023 are:
These are my initial goals for 2023 created on January 15th, 2023:
Join me in this awesome #MyHiveGoals and let's grow together! It is fun, motivating, and will keep you focused!
