At the start of this year, I had a lot of goals I wanted to achieve before the year runs out. Some of these goals I’ve been actively working towards, while others seem to be taking longer than I expected. But regardless of how things are going, I still have my eyes set on everything I planned, and I believe that with time and consistency, I will get there.
One of the major goals I set for myself was to reach 2,000 HP on Hive before my first anniversary on the platform. When I made this goal, I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I was determined to push myself and do everything possible to reach my target. Right now, I have close to 1,400 HP, which means i am making progress. I need about 600hp to complete that and I still have a few more months to go before May 20th, which marks exactly one year since I joined Hive. If I keep up the momentum and start powering up more hive, I am very confident that I will hit that 2,000 HP milestone before then. This is one goal I am very optimistic about because I have been consistent with my engagement and growth on the platform.
Another goal I set was to save more money this year. I wanted to be more intentional about my finances and put aside a reasonable amount of money so that by the end of the year, I would have saved a decent amount. But to be honest, this particular goal has been far from being achieved. Not because I don’t want to save, but because of how things have been financially. There have been so many important bills to settle, and every time I get money, there’s always something urgent that requires spending. It’s been really difficult to put aside money the way I initially planned. However, I haven’t completely given up on this goal. I still believe that by the end of the year, I should be able to save nothing less than 200 to 300,000 naira. It might take a little more effort and discipline, but I am willing to push myself to achieve it.
Lastly, I had plans of getting a new phone this year. The phone I am currently using has lasted for about two years now, and honestly, it’s starting to give me problems. The storage is almost completely filled up, making it difficult for me to install new apps or even update the ones I already have. Apart from that, the screen is in a very bad condition, which makes using the phone a bit frustrating at times. I don’t want to rush into getting a new one just for the sake of it. I want to take my time, gather enough money, and buy a good phone that meets all my needs. I am looking for something with a good camera, enough storage space, and a strong battery life. I have already started working towards this, and hopefully, in a few months, I should be able to get myself a new phone.
Even though I haven’t achieved all my goals yet, I know that the year isn’t over, and there’s still time to accomplish them. Some things might take longer than expected, but as long as I keep working towards them, I believe everything will eventually fall into place.
