Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. - Oscar Wilde.
This is the first week of 2023. Whenever I judge myself I do so against my peers and colleagues.

With respect to Hive, there is no point in a younger account trying to compare against an OG who most probably was in receipt of an airdrop. Compare an apple to an apple not an orange!
I signed in late 2021 so like to see how my peers who joined up around then are doing.
One person who has been absolutely belting it out of the ballpark is 
I knew CJ from read.cash where we both were bloggers.
The consistency of farmgirl is amazing...
She posts daily
She powers up daily
She threads daily
I could go on and on.
If I emulate part of what farmgirl does then I will be a happy chappy in 2023!
Salamuch CJ for being a Lodi!
I like to KISS Keep It Simple Sweetheart and so these are KISS #myhivegoals for 2023
15000 Hive Power
I got to 3000 HP last year from a start of 11 HP, so I need 12000 HP this year. It seems a ridiculous goal.
However goals are meant to push us.
HIVE is on sale and is incredibly cheap right now. However I don't see the sale ending in the foreseeable future and so hopefully we should all be able to stack HP if we want to. I want to and so I shall.
As a by the by I am and will be powering up at least 1 Hive each and every day in 2023!
15000 Leo Power
Now I do hold my hands up and say WTF Tengo!
My LP is sitting at 3000 just like my HP.
To aid in my quest for LP I have made an alt especially for Leo Finance
Requiring 12000 really is a monumental stretch, but buying LEO daily between the two accounts and posting more often and curating more often should with some luck get me to 15k LP
667+ saved HBD
By completing the 365 day penny saving challenge I will have saved over 667 HBD.
Starting with one cent, you add a cent so on day 2 you say 2 cents, day 3 cents etc all the way up to day 365.
Following the challenge will result in 667.95 HBD. But and here is the GOOD but, as this is in the HBD savings which is currently 20% we actually get more than 667!
Note I did this in December, and did not miss a day, ergo I can fluffing do this!
667.95 saved Hive
Same way as for saving HBD!
Why save Hive and HBD?
Good question ~ To have a big Power Up on Jan 1st 2024 and get the big bee badge (over 1000 Hive)
So there we have #myhivegoals for 2023
Some fun stats courtesy of hivebuzz
I have to flex my Comments and I am ranked 137th out of all Hive accounts, that is bloody insane and the only factor that I will get a top ranking. But you know what, No Surrender, we just go at our own pace...
