This is my journey towards 100000 Steem Power Day 148 with no prior investments! (Meaning I started on Steem with 0 account value!). I am a very dedicated individual and I want you guys to be a part of my journey to get you motivated and to learn from my mistakes!
Besides my daily description of what I did to reach that goal today, I will also use this as a "journal" to keep track of my other personal goals.
If you have any suggestions, want to help or work together with me or just want to leave feedback then just write that in the comments.
What I did Today to Reach my Goal
Today I wrote a post on how to see who muted, unfollowed or followed you. You can also see that on other Steemit accounts! I recommend doing this at least once per month.

Training - Reach 90KG with 12% Bodyfat by July 2018
Today was no official day but I trained because I was supposed to be lifting with my friend.
I benched 100KG 2 times and I am very proud of that. I broke myself doing that, by that, I mean that I crushed a limiting belief of mine that I would never be able to do that. That you needed to take steroids to lift that.
It was like reaching a new level, we are more powerful than we can comprehend.
Diary
Woke up at 07:00 and did my morning routine. My Valknut wall tapestry arrived which you can see in the video screenshot. The cool thing is that the first wall tapestry which I got from Redbubble had some weird white rings in the middle.
I immediately wrote support and they just wanted to see a picture of the fucked up flag and 5 minutes later they immediately told me that I will get a new one for free and that I can keep the ruined one as well! That is what I call badass support.
I will buy the next wall tapestry at Redbubble.com again.
Besides that, my friend called me at 10:00 today 2 hours before our supposed meeting at the gym telling me that he is too tired to workout.
I just said "ok, no problem" and then we said goodbye. I am really disappointed I must say, my high standards kick in again.
Too tired to workout? With a friend who you agreed to workout with every Saturday? I don't know what to think. I have told myself that I will try this 2 more times and if he says "No" for the third time then I will stop contacting him.
I know that he has a tough job and that he still works out n shit, but I am not accepting those loser excuses. 3 times and then I will tell him what I think about such laziness and disrespect.
Here is a nice song by my favorite rapper Lloyd Banks which I found today, enjoy.

You never know maybe your friend is getting sick (I get fatigued when I'm sick) or something is going on in his life, I'm not trying to make excuses for the man though. I like that you will give him more chances to prove to you he is worth your time everyone deserves the in my opinion. But you are right you can only try so much with someone before you have to just say fuck it. on a second note that new banner is awesome it tuned out well the second time that's great branding for your videos. I actually use redbubble and find they are really reasonable I plan to use them to make some things for branding my channel I'm just not set on a design yet.

Good comment Tippy, I actually haven't thought about the wall tapestry as "branding" which is damn cool. Now it has an additional purpose!

Yeah, I think its great people will see it in the thumbnails in your indoor vlogs I know it caught my eye. I thought that's different from his usual thumbnail. Now I know when I see the wall tapestry I will know that's valorforfreedoms video along with the border and the other things you have talked about in your steemschool episode about the templates. Also if you don't mind what type of flag is the wall tapestry I don't think I was spelling it correctly I would like to read up about it. I actually have some Scandinavian in my DNA on the one side of my family I was reading up about Ásatrú a while back but never heard about Odinism until I started watching your videos. That's part of the reason why I subbed to your channel along with the tips for newcomers. Vikings the tv show actually peaked my interest in Norse religion.

Glad to hear that.
The symbol in the middle of the flag is the Valknut, nobody knows its actual meaning. I have heard that it is used to summon Valkyrie. My personal guess is that it is the symbol of Odin and his brothers (Odin, Vili, Ve). You can by the way see the number 3 and 9 a lot in norse mythology.
Around that symbol are all the runes and 3 birds.
3 birds makes no sense as Odin had two crows, however, it fits the "3" pattern very well and just looks good, they also form a Mjolnir.
The 9 noble virtues make you a strong and honorable man, however, you must be careful when you apply those because we are living in the modern age.
For example truth, be careful with that, heroes end up behind bars in our age.
Vikings lived a very pure life close with nature and they have awesome traditions which Christanity stole.
For example Christmas. Christmas is actually "Yuletide", and the christmas tree is actually Yggdrasil the world tree.
I suggest you start reading the Prose and Poetic Edda to get started with Norse Mythology.

Hey, valorforfreedom thank you for all the information you gave me in your last comment you are a very knowledgeable man. I like your interpretation of the Valknut, to me, this makes sense to since there are three triangles.
I took your advise and purchased the Prose and Poetic Edda and i also purchased a book called A Little Bit of Runes: An Introduction to Norse Divination to study for better understanding of the runes and their meaning. They should be here in one to four days. I will have to look into literature about the nine noble virtues as well.
You are right about the Viking being pure and close to nature. a lot of people have a false belief that they were all dirty people or just raiders. When, in reality, they actually liked to be clean and look nice and had well established trade routes instead of just raiding. They had all kinds of great traditions and a very interesting culter. they were very intelligent understanding how to make boats that could take the sea but also be rowed up rivers and they were great navigators. I think one of my favourite facts is that they discovered North America long before Columbus I find that cool because I'm from Canada.

Glad to hear that you want to know more about your ancestors. I suggest you join the SteemSchool discord server, there we can talk about Norse religion.

Way to not let those who do not have your standards pull you down. Not the same situation but was proud that after meeting w a friend I went straight to the gym instead of doing other non-productive activities.

Living not using full potential is for lazy, almost everyone is lazy. Not giving what they can. They are the average people @valorforfreedom

Firstly, that wall tapestry looked really cool. I really liked the design. Secondly, congratulation on successfully benching 100kg twice. Now that's progress. Your training definitely pays off. And thirdly, your friend may have another reason aside from being too tired. It's a good thing you are willing to give him three chances to prove himself. If he still fails to live up to your expectations then you have the right to stop making contact with him. No point wasting your time on people that refuses to improve themselves. Again, congratulation on reaching a new milestone. I wish you a productive day.

I have a lingering feeling that you and Vegaron are the same people. You always comment at the same time and you write almost the same thing and you joined Steemit at the same time.
Thank you for your comment, but don't play games with me to get an upvote. Writing with 1 account is enough.

Wow, I'm impresed you actually benched 100kg twice! That's your discipline and perseverance paying off there. It also proves that you do not need drugs like steroid to do it. Also, your disappointment with your friend is understandable. Once a person stops following through his schedules and makes excuses it becomes a habit. After all, training demands and requires great discipline. Still, I'm glad you decide to give him more chances. Everyone deserves a benifit of a doubt. Thanks for sharing your progress with us @valorforfreedom.
