It's been 1.5 years in the #hive ecosystem, and I'm still writing content and staying active on the platform. I went through many difficulties and hard times during this time period, and now I am at a point where I have more than 6K hive, which is a huge accomplishment for me.
I really did struggle in this platform at beginning when joined the platform. No one knew who I was at the time, and when I did publish my post, I received no upvotes, which was a very difficult time for me. When my post received no upvotes, I assumed that this platform is extremely difficult to obtain. That disappointed me so much that I considered leaving.
INSPIRATIONAL SUGGESTIONS THAT CHANGED MY PATH
But I got some advice from my seniors, and one of them, Melinda, is one of my friends who has helped and encouraged me a lot. Following those encouraging words, I regained motivation and continued to work hard. I'm starting to create even more good content and high-quality images to entertain HIVE users. I gradually noticed that I was getting some results, which was very motivating.
I make some new friends and begin to become more active on the platform. I attempted to engage with those friends in order for them to support me in some way. I read other people's posts and began sharing my thoughts on their content, and as a result, they began engaging with me. I started participating in various HIVE contests where I could win prizes.
That was a really motivating moment for me when I realised I was now winning contests and users were interested in my posts. I continued to work hard and became involved in various other communities, where I was successful in gaining upvotes. The good news for me was that curators were taking notice of my posts, and I was receiving positive feedback from hashtags such as #liketu, #leofinance, #ecency, #photography, #foodiesbeehive, and others.
I was doing well and felt that I could do even better and contribute to the HIVE platform. During this time, I decided that it would be better to invest some of my savings in HIVE as well. Because it is obvious that more HIVE power equates to more influence in the ecosystem. I decided to boost some hives and start curating other people's posts in order to make even more friends.
The total amount of #hive that I am currently holding is half of my investment and half of my earnings. My strategy becomes successful, and I begin to receive more upvotes from people, including those who I did upvote on their posts. My account begins to stabilise, and my HIVE count continues to increase. I continue to struggle and am doing my best to add value to the #HIVE while also powering up.
PERSECUTED SUCCESS DURING THE BEAR TIME
In this period of time the market started its bear time which was really worrying for me but I learn about investment times. I discovered that investing during a bear market is one of the best times to do so. I decided to invest a portion of the money I save from my other jobs once a week. I started this strategy by buying HIVE and going for powering up every week. This bear market has provided me with numerous advantages, including increased HIVE quantity at a lower cost.
Without a doubt, I have faced challenges throughout my HIVE journey, but as the saying goes, "strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle." — Napoleon Hill....
I am now in a position where I can call myself a Dolphin, which makes me very happy. I've tried to share my 1.5-year HIVE journey with you, and I'm hoping that this post will inspire many other users. Perhaps this post will serve as motivation for many users as they continue to struggle in the future.
This is my attempt to tell you about my HIVE journey, the difficulties I encountered, and how success kisses my hard work. I hope you enjoy the post; if you do, please leave feedback in the comments section so that the next post will be even better. Thank you for sticking with me all the way to the end.

Congratulations to you from my side for reaching 6k hive. And I hope you will reach 11k hive very soon. And your journey has been through a lot of difficulty, and you have worked hard to reach here. I got to learn a lot after reading your post. thanks bro
You're very welcome, brother.
Every struggle teaches you something new, and the key to success is to recognise the difficulties in your life.
After reading this post, I hope you will be motivated.
yeas bro
Hi dear I am newbies on the platform. I also felt that It's hard to obtain this platform but I am like you trying to make efforts to build the account value. I'm also trying to engage with as much people I can. I am not earning much now but I hope one day I would also make a post like you that It wasn't bad decision to continue my efforts with Hive Blockchain. Wish you more blessings ahead
It is greatly appreciated that you returned to the platform. You have the potential to write the best contents and skills; all you need to do is put in the time and effort.
If you do, you will undoubtedly begin earning from this platform and will also get a taste of the hive ecosystem.
I wish you continued success and accomplishments.
Thank you very much.
Thank You so much for your kind words mate 🙂 have a good day 😘
You really did a good job there and still doing fine. What if you really give up no, what if you leave. For sure, you will never experience that Happiness that only Hive can give you. Let us continue to do good here ✨. There are also times that I thought of leaving but, in the end it is all just a thought. I cant just leave, not especially I Am enjoying this. Now I am hoping that the price of Hive will continue to go up and hit new ATH. Am wishing ang hoping here, hehe.
It's fantastic that you're enjoying your Hive experience and are optimistic about the platform's future. It's critical to remember that just because you have thoughts of leaving doesn't mean you have to act on them. It's also important to remember that the price of any asset can be volatile, making it difficult to predict where it will go.
Yay! 🤗

Thanks 😊😊
You're welcome! 😊
I'm glad that you reached 6k hive in 1,5 years. To me it seems quite an accomplishment!
Yesterday I saw an article with some tips and tricks about how to improve on hive. Will share it here, as it was really helpfull for me. I guess you'll already know (most of) them, but still a refreshing is never bad I guess.
How to improve on Hive?
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing the article with Hive improvement tips and tricks. I'll definitely look into it to see if there's any new information that can help me improve. I appreciate your encouragement and will keep working hard on Hive.
This is such an inspiring post. I had to reblog some hours ago to when I return back from church because the title captivated me not to miss this.
The truth is that, hard work and effort pays if one is truly ready for it. Thanks to Melinda who encouraged you when you thought of giving up.
Hive is really a strict place and one would lose hope if they do not find motivation to continue. Thank God I embraced Hive more like before and I bless God for the things I have earned and learned.
Congratulations on your 6k hive and wishing you more of it.
Keep it going 🤞
Thank you very much for your kind words and encouragement. I'm glad my post inspired you and that it resonated with your own Hive experiences. Yes, hard work and effort do pay off, and I am grateful for Melinda's words of encouragement when I was feeling down. Hive can be a difficult place at times, but it's critical to find motivation and keep moving forward. I consider myself fortunate to have discovered Hive and to have earned and learned so much from it. I appreciate your congratulations on reaching 6k Hive and your best wishes for future success. I will continue to push forward and work hard. Thank you once more for your help!
Definitely, we should always put in more effort and always believe to keep going. Though it might be tough at the beginning but that is important in the process so we would have stories to share just as you did in your post.
I'm glad reading from you too and I appreciate your time to reply my comment too. Cheers 👏
You made it through the hard times. Never giving up is the key to unlock any wallet. You unlock the hive wallet with resilience and perseverance.
That is why, patience is the key to success. Never giving up is new life of success. Thanks for your kind review.
I would highly welcome it if you can share your strategy. how did you manage to reach here. what steps did you take. if you have to do it again, how would you do it?
