I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #377 - We Determine Our Success on Hive, So Give Your All! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, August 8, 2023

I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i. I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

One of the most striking and surprising things that I've observed in my time here on Hive is the stark contrast between how quickly different individuals grow on the Blockchain. It's seriously as different as night and day! There are people here that have been here for years, and yet their reputation and HP is as if they had only recently arrived. Conversely, there are others who, even being here less than a year, have made huge gains. I pay attention to what people do, and I do my best to learn and improve based on what I see.

Here on Hive, as in life, we are responsible for our experience, how successful we are, and how quickly or slowly we grow. Truly, it's all in our hands. The value that we give to the Blockchain is the value that we receive, so if we want to grow to great heights here, we need to give our all. Those that do this find that their growth is immensely quickened. I've experienced this myself, always much to my delight and surprise.

We are indeed all here to help and support each other, and we need each other to grow and success on the Blockchain (and in life), however, it is also absolutely essential that each individual is able to stand on his or her own feet, and to contribute. Expecting others to do things for us or support us, without balanced reciprocity, or worse asking for handouts, will not go over well here. Hive is filled with genuinely kind, caring, and generous people, but nobody wants to support those who don't even try to do their best.

We are all sovereignly interconnected and interdependent on Hive, and the beauty that we bring ripples throughout the Blockchain, beneficially affecting everyone, including ourselves. Giving our all here is good for all of us, and therefor for the whole Blockchain itself. This, to me at least, is immense motivation and inspiration to give even more!

We are the only ones that move ourselves forward of hold ourselves back on Hive. The framework that exists, and which is open to everyone, everywhere, is ripe and pregnant with incredible potential success. It's up to us, however, to decide to take that immense opportunity, and give fully of ourselves to create something truly beautiful, inspiring, and exciting on this glorious Blockchain, for ourselves and everyone. I'm all in, are you?

Even though Hive got my main focus from morning to late afternoon/early evening yesterday, I was a bit behind on my catch-up and tasks, though I was able to finally get everything finished, just later than usual, around 5PM. I really don't like ending so late, but some days it's necessary. When I left the Flow House, my first focus was to take photos for this post, of course. As soon as I was done that, I headed to the fenced garden to do a good round of much-needed weeding, which I continued until sunset.

When my weeding work was done, I took a shower, made food in the Landing, then I returned to the Flow House once again to do my evening round of Hive catch-up and tasks, which I completed by around 9PM. The rest of my evening was spent focusing on my trading on BitForex and Hive Engine.

On BitForex I decided to switch from DOGE to SHIB, which is an even lower-value coin that also has good trading volume. I completed one round of buying and selling, increasing my holding by a few dollars. Other than that one success, the prices have mostly been rather frustrating, remaining below my purchase prices. I'll just keep waiting and watching. I'm determined to net 3,000+ HP out of all this trading, in preparation for my hopefully huge HIVE power up on September 1st.

I went to sleep around 10:30PM last night, so at a good time, and I slept well until 3AM. Once I woke up, I couldn't get back to sleep, so I focused on trading and prices again for a while, I did a few quick Hive tasks, then I went back to sleep until 8:30AM. Thankfully I slept well, and I felt rested in the morning. I did a quick round on Hive before finally getting out of bed to make my superfood fire coffee.

I shared a lovely and enjoyable conversation with Laksanya down at Tutu's, when I went there to blend my super coffee and pick up some supplies. She told me again that she can't wait for her third session that I'll be giving her on Saturday. I'm always super grateful when I hear things like that. So beautiful!

It's now just after 12PM, so it's a marvelous time to end this post, so that I can get on to my Hive catch-up and tasks. Hopefully I'll finish earlier today, so that I can put more focus on the garden and the plants in my nursery. I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow morning! Onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Power Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚
