I have been thinking how far I had come the past months I have been blogging here. I will say it hasn't been easy to make blogs everyday because of the need for inspiration.

Being consistent here on hive doesn't come alone by daily blogging. Obviously, it's more than that. It goes way as reading blogs of other users and commenting, being active in communities especially on discord and getting to know people. These are things I have been trying to keep up to while moving with my daily life.

I will be glad to use this opportunity to welcome back @beckie96830 who was one of the first few friends I made from The terminal community (redfish rally) when I onboarded into hive. I believe this post might be useful to retain consistency here in Hive. You can visit her welcome back blog here.

I know everyone of us are on Hive basically because of the rewards but putting the rewards on primarily goal will only put you in a short term journey and would not take you anyway. What I have come to know in which newbies also need to also is that there are more things to look for that just the rewards which is the relationship that needs to built between people/communities and yourself.

This is because when the rewards doesn't come, you will remain active because of the people. The truth is if you operate hive like the social media it is, engage with others and get to know people, the rewards will surely come. Things will surely work out and put in place.

Presently I am still in this journey as I speak, which is the journey in remaining consistent and heads up. The journey in having a good relationship with people and communities. A journey to blog consistently on Hive. The task to be on the long term journey. This won't be easy to build but it would surely be a good memory have it is.

Another way of retaining consistency is making goals and recording them. For some time now , I have publishing my goals for each month and always working towards achieving it. This has made me notice the little progress I have made in building my account.

I have noticed the very much increase in the number of comments I get on my posts from friends I have made with here. I will love to mention them which they are @tripode @suffgrace @wolfofnostreet @officialuroga @lauramica @rickardoh @rollinshive and others that I may not remember. This shows a sign in building my account and relationships with others.

I probably think you actually get the whole point of this message. In conclusion to all I have said, you should know

• Don't be primary based on Rewards, it doesn't come always especially when you know nobody. It will get you frustrated and will lose focus.

• If you are newbies here, your primary aim to build relationships and get to know people it will help so much.

• Join different communities, and engage with them, be in search for initiatives and partake in them.

There are a lot more tips listed here from a previous post written by me. You should check it out.
