Steemit Engagement Challenge S4-W3: Three goals that I met and three that I want to achieve.

Hello everyone! I am delighted to make my entry for week 3 of the Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 4 in the Recreative Steem Community. Today, i write about 3 goals i met and 3 goals i wish to achieve. I'll like to invite @pandora2010, @adeljose, @ciru2014, @tangwe-rene, @sahmie, @starrchris, @rafk and @liasteem to come partake in this contest.

The past 12 months have been revolved around the steemit platform, being that i joined last year April but created my first post in September 2021. Ever since i joined the steemit blockchain, i have been setting and achieving my goals, prompting me to formulate new goals along the way. As such, i shall outline and talk on this year's achievements

At the end of last year, i found myself closing up to 1,000 SP as i looked to meet my very first goal set on steemit. I finally met this goal about 1 month ago.

At first it wasn't easy, but i somewhat managed to meet this goal the best i could. I used to think i reach a point of recognition last year, but i effectively got to witness acknowledgement in the month of march when i got elected as one of the MODs of my community. In a way, i achieved or at least moved much higher in reputation within my community.

Actually, u saved the best for last 🤓. After i started creating posts in September 2021, i decided to recruit for steemit with the goal of getting at least 1 recruit to surpass my achievements some day. If i tell y'all that i knew that day would come sooner than later, i would be lying 🤓. To my greatest surprise, a recruit made me proud with a remarkable sprint throughout this year, with her SP being more than doubled my own. If i list her achievement, we might end up with a 10,000 words entry hihi. A big applaud to @wase1234 😎.

• My goal to hit 1,500 SP:
  In the beginning it was quite tough because it wasn't as easy as it is now to gain support from the steemit team on a regular, no matter how small. There was no community curation teams whatsoever, as such consistency was of the essence. I had to get into so many contests and posts often just to gain rewards and supports that i could later power up.
  Achieving this goal taught me a whole deal of perseverance, consistency and determination to achieve. Now, my perseverance increases with my hunger to achieve.

• My goal to build a reputable account:
  Achieving this goal was challenging because this goal was formulated as a replacement to a pledge not to make withdrawals, which i was forced to breach so as to prove to some newbies that the steemit platform was no scam. It was all worth it in the end, so i pledged to hit the 1,500 SP mark soonest. In order for me to achieve this, i had to restrain myself from making withdrawals as i used to.
  So in a way, achieving this goal taught me how to make timely sacrifices for a better and much more stable future than the present. It also taught me how to be an exemplary leader (mentor).

• My goal to get at least 1 of my subordinates to surpass my expectations:
  I won't take all the credit for this unique attribute because i learnt this from those i grow by. My parents and teachers always made me understand from a very young age that the joy of every teacher or father is to see that their students or kids become more successful than they themselves were.
  That is why i cherish this lesson of selflessness and humility.

This goal has proven to be tough but i ain't giving up any time soon. I hope to hit my first 5,000 SP anytime soon as well as a second, and a third, and a fourth, and so on and so forth. To achieve this goal, i have decided to erase all forms of power down actions, and also engage more in the power up process. I have also engaged in setting 100% power up on most of my publications, and to always belong to at least a club75 status.

I have set a 3 year goal to own a house by then. To make this happen, i shall execute all my ideas at same time to maximize my earnings and revenues. I am too talented to be bundled up in an office throughout an entire day, so i think 😂.

I have a goal to become an entrepreneur to many businesses in my country. To achieve this dream, i am already drawing the plans in place, with some already in motion. So by the end of 2024, i should have tangible results to move forward with.

When i feel i cannot achieve something, i keep on trying until i fail. Don't get me wrong, i do not continue with the mindset of failure, i hate losing but i know no one can win all the time. The motivational statements i use every single day ever since i was a teenager are:

• Keep moving forward borrowed from a Disney animated movie called The Robinsons (you've got to watch it).

• Make a difference amongst equals created by me a long time ago. This phrase came about when i found myself trying to accept defeat simply because others failed. I felt like it is therefore alright for me to fail also, then i realized that if everyone fails or gives up easily due to the outcome of hose that wen before, then who will emerge victorious? That's what gave rise to the phrase Making a difference amongst my equals. It boost my confidence without undermining others.

Every time i reflect on these motivational phrases, they keep me energized no matter the odds or outcome of past trials or experiences shared by others to discourage me.
