You know that I like to read/watch interesting personal stories from the people on the platform, and I have found this one while I was checking #hive posts on Twitter (you should also do that, and like and re-tweet stuff there... It helps enormously to Hive)... It is a post written by @evegrace, where she told us her story how Hive has changed (and saved) her life in just 3 months...
I saw that post 2 days ago and immediately commented to show my support to her... Also, I have put in my notebook reminder to create a post about it... And then, I have lost track of the original post! I wanted to create a vlog about it yesterday, but I couldn't find the original post and I wanted to mention it! I was searching for hours and didn't find it...
Finally, I have asked for help from my Hive friend, and it was found in 5 minutes... lol... And it was in front of my nose, and I didn't see it for some reason... lol... Anyways, it's here, and I have done it!
I don't know why I found myself inspired so much by this post, probably because I have struggled in the past with starting my own business, but luckily, I wasn't in the situation as Eve was... Helping hand from a friend and a bit of effort saved her from living on the street and who knows what else...
And the story has a lot of perspectives that you can notice if you look deeper into it... One of them is how her friend @Uyobong reacted when she had problems... He didn't loan the money to her, but showed her the way where she can EARN it by herself!
And we all know that hard-earned money is more appreciated than a loan...
Check out the video for details...

In the end, I would like to make an update of my current numbers (August 16th, 2020 - monthly target 80%) on #MyHiveGoals:
HIVE POWER - 15,502 / 20,000 77.51%
CTP POWER - 118,911 / 150,000 79.27%
HIVE Followers - 306 / 333 91.89%
LBRY Followers - 1018 / 1,500 67.87%
As I said in the previous Hive Goals report, LBRY followers number will be a big fail... lol... Other numbers are failry ok... Hive power is dancing on the thin line, but I believe in the power of compound... :)

Really great post my friend. We often forget what value 1 $ has for people who do not live in western countries. I've been supporting about 30 authors from Venezuela for about 1.5 years by upvoting every single post that they produce on Hive/Steem with about 6K HP. For some it has become the main income source to blog here. For Venezuelan people that earn an average of about 5$ per month, the income that they can make here is quite significant and they are not alone. There are many people living in third world countries for whom the income from this platform can make a real difference to their lives.
Exactly... the most important thing is that it "makes a real difference to their lives"! And with all this plandemic, people will get in a worse situation as time passes by... It will not miraclly stop and got back to normal, and the people from those countries are lucky that someone showed them the way...
It will literally save a lot of lives...
Thank you so much @ph1102 for this, i am so grateful.
Well deserved, @evegrace! Be consistent, connect with other awesome people... You can (and will) do a lot more in the future!
Wish you the best!
Nice post by evergrace. I never thought that someone job can be paying so less.
I am happy that apart from Hive she is learning new skills.
We are living on a crazy planet... I knew that people are working for so little, but it's great that time is coming when they can choose jobs outside their country and earn more...
Such an awesome video.....anyone who watches this should have some gratitude in their life because there's always someone out there who has it worse than we do, regardless of our situation...
So many Hivers & people in general are struggling but have the will to overcome life's obstacles... I give so much credit to @evegrace for not giving up. She had really tough circumstances, but instead of giving up, she found a way, came to Hive & made it happen....that in itself is inspirational..
We all have tough times, & believe me I have had more than my share. However, there are so many out there who don't even have food on their tables...so my life is amazing compared...if we had more compassion & put ourselves into their shoes, maybe our perspectives would change a bit. :)
I always say if you want it badly enough, you will find a way & go for it. Nothing will get in the way. So instead of wasting time whining & putting on a pity party, do something! Change it if you don't like it or change your attitude ;)
Thanks so much Zoltan for highlighting this awesome Hiver & bringing attention to this very important topic....;) 💚
just to add... she is still so young girl, but such a big lion! To fight for her future and taking her destiny in her hands... just awesome...
And yes, we aren't aware how lucky are we that we don't have that big LOAD over our head of thinking if we will have food on the table tomorrow... Sometimes, we take a lot of things for granted, which isn't a case nor for us, nor for a lot of people on this planet...
Thanks for your comment and nice words for her!
Again a nice and inspirational video from you.
At first I thought Hivian was a nickname for someone lol.
I have the tendency to overthink things, so your video poked me a bit, and that is good.
Thank you for your nice words... The star of the story was Eve and her consistent battling in searching for a solution!
Loved this post great video bro have an amazing one
Thanks, Ben! Appreciate your kind words!
Another great post Zoltan
It is all about the Mindset - Living on rent of $26 a month is so totally out of my realm of reality, I can see that people who make this level of income on Hive are really great for the platform and I for one and very grateful I can support people where there activity is about survival
Those that whinge are obviously not in a position where every cent counts towards survival
I remember some months ago now reading a post where the person used their HIVE for their monthly groceries. Now that is real use case as is using it to pay for your Months rent.
Basic comforts such as a roof and food are a reality and the fact that HIVE can achieve this for some is fantastic.
Exactly! That was fascinating for me that HIVE is paying her a roof and food on her table! The best USECASE ever!
And on the other side, she has invested in tools that will help her to develop more in the field that she is doing... Which is great thinking for such a young person... I have friends that are 40+ years and they would never get on that idea... lol...
Yes the investment in the future is always a smart move, improving the tools you have to improve the output :)
