I didn't remember that today was LPUD because it was also my birthday. Although I didn't have a birthday bash, I was completely engulfed with the birthday feelings and forgot everything else until late evening.
LPUD is not an event to forget about since it's a core activity in the inleo platform and leofinance community. This ritual is a must for everyone who shares in the goal and development of the Inleo platform. This month LPUD will make it a year that I first took part in the LPUD event. I still remember how I started with 400 LEO tokens powered up on my first and second LPUD. Those days were my best days in the leofinance community. The sense of belonging was high, and I was ecstatic at how the community members received me. That has been over a year now, and things are completely different for me than it was then
After failing to participate in the LPUD for almost 2 months between March to April, I made a new resolution of taking part in every LPUD no matter how little the numbers of LEO tokens I can afford at the time of the event. That was last month where I powered up 85 LEO tokens. I could have skipped this month LPUD, but for the resolution I made last month, I have to participate even if it means powering up just 5 LEO tokens.
Recently, my activities on Inleo have not been yielding rewards as I would like. Almost 85% of my posts published on the leofinance community receive no more than a few cents, and there were largely no community curation votes for me this term. Nonetheless, with the honest efforts I made on Inleo thread and the few posts that got upvotes before today, I ranked in about 60 LEO which I powered up on this LPUD.
That's a very poor performance from me, and I can't blame anyone for the result. I guess my efforts in my article writing and engaging on thread wasn't good enough during the last 30 days. Nonetheless, I am glad I didn't miss today's LPUD.
It's time to double up the grindings
My Leo power up goal for this year is already out of my reach, since I failed so much in previous months in participating in the LPUD events. I am making a new resolution again this month. It's not about the number of LEO tokens I will earn or power up this time, but a resolution of scaling up my activities and staying committed to the Inleo and leofinance community.
In my own assessment, commitment is the only way to achieve success in anything we do. And we know what that can mean for a person committed to inleo and the leofinance community. More commitment equals more Rewards, and that means more Leo tokens available for powering up on LPUD days.
Sometimes I get discouraged and tempted to do with my LEO tokens what I never planned on doing to them in the first place. I guess my mind has been so fixated on getting rewarded for every single post I published on Inleo, and when this doesn't happen, I feel low and think to call it quits. This habit has really affected my Leo growth and the number of LEO tokens I have stacked up today. I hope to get over this weakness and learn to stick to the long term goal everyone has with their Leo tokens.
Well, it's still my birthday today, and I am still in the euphoria of turning a year older. I am grateful for the life God has given me, all the good things and the bad things that this life has made me experience all made me wiser and better than I was yesterday. More than four decades of living in this world, a life only God can truly give.
Happy #LPUD to us!
Happy birthday to me!
