It is no secret that my goal is to be a Leo Lion. I know it's confusing. But, for the leofinance lions that are out there hunting for new airdrops (:D), it is extremely important to rank themselves. Ranking ourselves in the community a false sense of bravado and gives a bragging rights. Talk about Toruk Makto who is the hunter in the sky looking down on us all the time. Eagle eyed.

I am worst when it comes to notifications. I have bugged #khal and the Leo project team many time, with my posts, to include notification functionality. The blue/red/or any color notifications gives my dose of whatever hormone I need that day. I am a sucker for notifications. And, a notification popped up on my Leofinance page when I was browsing. That was not about upvoting and it was not also about comment on my post. It was a mention from a very unlikely source.
@aslehansen/movers-and-shakers-of-the-leo-top-100-week-48-2021
The notification was about someone mentioning how I rank based on my Leo power among other lions. To my surprise, I was listed on one of the ranking categories. Big deal for me. According to the Leo ranking post, I rank 102 among individuals with highest Leo power staked. I was emotional - not true.
I still remember the day I created a post on leofinance which was about brave rewards. I think the Khal upvoted my effort. I was motivated by the level of engagement my post generated which was not very common on hive posts from newcomers. That engagement gave me the motivation required to keep coming back to this community after more than a year.
Well, going back. I rank 102 and the post said I am now knocking on the door to get into that coveted top 100 ranking. Does that matter? Will getting into top 100 give me extra benefits? I don't think so. No, it does not reward you anything or treat you differently. It will do one thing for sure. It will help me keep motivated. It reminds me that there are more places to go and more stairs to climb.
What comes next?
Top 50. I know it will be tougher the higher I am ranked. Let's settle in keeping powering up to have 10K Leo. That's my financial goal for 2021.
I am not very far from that. I have 7800 LP. That means, I need 2200 more Leo to achieve my target. Thank god, the Leo token has not pumped yet. Keep it like this for another month and I will be able to gobble up relatively cheap Leo. Hive pump has shifted the focus and even the Leofinance team is very busy with other shiny new tokens like cub and poly cub. I am not sure if anyone is even thinking about Leo token at the moment. SPS pumping and thousands other HE tokens are always on the pump. The boring Leo is helping my achieve my dream. I have been converting all my Hive earnings to buy Leo.
I will be keeping my open for the next notification that notifies me about moving up the ladder to be ranked as top 100 Leo Lion.
