Journal of the Path #6 - Goals, Aspirations, Plans - SBD is down reaction

I am Zak Ludick and this is my journal and documentation of my progress with goals on and off Steemit.

Cryptos are down, SBD is down - but keep on posting!

Welcome friends and newcomers to my journal blog. My progress with Steemit is still carrying on at a nice pacing. Something I must say to motivate everyone, new and old is that you have to stay active on Steemit. It is a social platform, you need to socialize.

Do not be afraid to post. If people do not care then all that can happen is there will be no comments and no upvotes. However, there most likely BE some sort of upvote! The longer I am on Steemit and the more active I become, the more successful I am. The more successful I am, the more people care!

This is advice that I have learned, but it is also advice that I want to teach to other people.

Some people have frozen themselves into a catatonic state of fear because the SBD price had gone down. As is with every other form of crypto it seems. However, I would like to point out that SBD is still worth real currency? So why stop posting? If you want to build and grow this community and within this community then you need to put your time and effort into it.

So keep posting no matter the cost of SBD. If you focus on building then you will make money even if SBD is worth $0.10. But what is MORE likely to happen is that if you just keep going and focus on putting out quality content. Steemit is already in the top 1000 websites of the world. With more users comes more active users and thus more income.

Good luck to you all!

Let's see what the difference is between #5 and #6 post.

Other goals

Exercise and get fit!

I have not been doing anything special at the moment to lose weight. Right now it is just focusing on the dry docks job and being active all day and still have time for family and then finally, Steemit.

What did I do to reach my goals? - Journal

I have been staying active of Steemit regardless of the SBD slump, speaking to people who motivate me and then motivate other people in turn. Most importantly, I have been keeping myself running all the time. I am on a 10 day streak again and that feels great!

Steemitboard shows me that my average post reward has gone up, so that's brilliant.

Steem.supply tells me that I have now increased my posts per day from 0.86 to 1.00. My comments have dropped though. I think I need to add these statistics on to my Stats above and keep track of them. These little things matter and just as I have learned from other people's journals, I am recording mine so it may serve as a blueprint for others.

It shows exactly how my Path to Glory proceeded!

Also, I did write a contest prompt for @writers-edge. I will need to breathe some life into it again and get the founder @lucy-and-dan to kick the page into high gear again! I have recovered from the shock of switching to 12 hour workdays and now I must keep steeming!

Until next time!
