Hi Hive,
Today is Tuesday, and it’s not just another day for me, it’s Alive staking day and Heartbeat staking day. These are the moments I pause, reflect, and take small but meaningful steps toward building something bigger over time.
This week, I was able to stake 138.374 ALIVE tokens. Adding that to my previous 168.612 ALIVE already staked last week, and this take my total Alive Power now to 306.986. Seeing that number cross the 300 mark gave me a quiet sense of satisfaction and hunger to achieve more. Though, it may not look like much to others, but for me, it represents starting point, consistency, patience, and a commitment to growth.

I also didn’t leave out my Heartbeat tokens. I added 32.313 heartbeat tokens to the existing 67.913 I had staked last week, and this bringing my total to 100.226 HEART in staking. Reaching that 100 milestone felt like a small victory and one of those moments that reminds me that progress, no matter how slow or little, is still progress.
What even makes this journey more interesting for me is that am yet to set a specific or fixed goal for how much ALIVE or HEART I want to accumulate come end of the year. I know some people work better with clear targets and numbers, but for me, this is more about the process than the pressure.because I’m not trying to rush anything. I just want to keep showing up every week, doing what I can, and letting the results build naturally over time.
That said, even without a fixed target, I still carry a quiet hope and by the end of the year, I want to look back and see something meaningful, something that reflects effort and dedication. Not just in numbers, but in the discipline I’ve built and the consistency I’ve maintained.
This journey is teaching me something important that growth doesn’t always come from big, dramatic moves. But it can sometimes comes from these small, steady actions doing consistently over time. Staking a little today, adding a bit tomorrow, and before you know it, those small steps start to add up and become something big.
So today, I’m grateful for the progress, even if it's slow but steady and for the opportunity to keep building, and that there is power in reminder that consistency is powerful. Though I may not have it all figured out yet, but I’m moving forward, one staking day at a time.
