We wanted 10K HP before the end of the year, we will be missing 1800 grrr...
No problem we continue next year, otherwise at the level of token stacking that we want, we should achieve our objectives
Happy end of year

Impressive work King @ecency, hive-103505(1/1) is in awe of the time and energy you put into creating this post. Your contributions to this community are invaluable.
You are a true talent! @hive-103505 is sending you 0.025 HKGENTHREE as a way to support your amazing work.
BTW! You will find powerful and charismatic NFTs in the AVATAR PACKS that you can use in all our games.
You still have a month to keep trying. I know 1800 HP is a lot and it's something hard to earn in one month, but who knows, maybe something happen and you achieve it. And if not, you can earn enough to be even closer to your goal, so it will be easier next year. Don't give up and do your best.
Also, are you a community account? I only see numbers on your user and there isn't a description on your profile. What is it about?
10k HP, you are almost there. That's great success
It is time to move forward, 2025 will be better.
2024 was mix of everything. It begins with my academic examination, which went well. And I enrolled in a new school. It was not planned but it happened and I am enjoying the situation. Now I have my further studies, which is going on with lots of challenges. So far my 2024 has everything...nothing planned but everything falling in places.
Sometimes the best thing that could happen to you is to be kicked out from your comfort zone. It may bring you challenges that seems hard to face, but it's the only way you can know what are you capable of. Don't be afraid and believe in yourself, you can overcome everything that comes to your life. Congratulations on your new beginning, keep going.
Best wishes for you.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
Excellent, the universe conspires in your favor, surely the year 2025 will bring you excellent rewards.
Merry Christmas!
Hello, @ecency family. I'm glad to participate in this activity everyday so thank you very much for the initiative. You're the best.
My 2024 has been a really hard year. With lots of ups and downs, but much more downs than ups. Lots of personal problems but with my family together we've been able to overcome them.
I don't really have stablished any goals for 2024 as last year I was very depressed and I wasn't thinking that my life was worthy, so I thought it was useless to stablish goals.
I'm so grateful that my family didn't let me down and with their support and with my therapist I've been able to overcome all that negativity and I started to see my life as something worthy again.
I'm facing 2025 with all the positive energy and a positive mentality so I can reach my goals in my personal life and now my goals here on Hive.
I'm ok now, I'm feeling good and I got lots of love to give and I'm happy to share it with all of you too.
Best wishes for you all.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
Thank God that you are ending victorious. Despite the challenges, I am sure that they have ended up in making you more stronger.
!INDEED I'm stronger than ever 💪🏻 I have changed my mentality and now I'm ready to face any challenge that comes to my life and I'm sure I'll always be victorious.

@christybliss! @okarun Totally agrees with your content! so I just sent 1 IDD to your account on behalf of @okarun.
wow, that is so much like my story....keep up, 2025 will be better
Thank you, dear friend. Same to you, keep it up. Everything's gonna be alright.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
That's true man
Why dive into the negative if the positive is beautiful? It is enough to open your eyes in the morning and discover the miracle of life, the radiant sun, and the smile of the people. If you stay healthy everything else will come, you just have to have faith and work like the good ones. You are one of the best and you will surely achieve everything you long for. Positive is already.
Merry Christmas!
Thank you very much for your kind words 😊 I'm doing good now, the negativity is gone and I'm stronger than ever 💪🏻
With 2025 in a few days time, I can say 2024 has been a rollercoaster ride for me; the year has been filled with a lot of ups and downs. Despite all the challenges, I can confidently say 2024 has been a wonderful year.
I will forever be grateful for all the opportunities that came my way and the lessons learned. I am grateful for personal growth; there has been a transformational growth in my mindset and ideology about how I used to think and see things.
I'm grateful for the gift of my family and friends.
2024 gave me a beautiful son; this is me choosing to focus more on the beautiful and positive things that the year has given to me.
Here's to an incredible 2024 and cheers to 2025 🥂.
I'm so glad to hear that 2024 has been good to you. We always should be grateful for being alive because every day is an opportunity to grow.
Best wishes for you.
Thank you 🤗
Congratulations for your son and other things you have achieved
Thank you 😊
Giving thanks will bring wonderful and imaginable rewards. How nice that 2024 gave you a son and beautiful things. Surely 2025 will be a year of many more things, of great opportunities.
Merry Christmas!
Thank you for your warm comments 🤗
Merry Christmas to you
Year was very busy for me. I can say 50/50 some changes like small trip with family or change place of work already done. But such things like build new garden house instead the old one are passed to the next year.
It is ok if you haven't achieved every goal you've set for this year. The important thing is not to give up and keep going, 2025 is a new opportunity. Best wishes for you.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
Agree with you it's really important not to give up!
That's how it happens to all of us, 50/50, but in the end, goals are achieved and those that can't are left for later.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too!
2024 turned out a wonderful year for me.
There were many challenging situations. We have economic and financial challenges because of the new policies our government were trying to enforce. We had to drive against the wind of high inflation rate and other challenging situations.
In all I could say this has improved my life and family life remarkably. I resorted to being more active on Hive Blockchain so as to be able to soothe the pains of economic hardship and honestly, we had much alleviation from that end. Most importantly, that makes me encounter new friends and communities that turn my activities here into a daily delights which I'm not going to give anymore.
Also, the help of God, has really be wonderful this year. I had the greatest business contract I have ever had since I started my profession. I was asked to produce and supply 2000 pieces of leather bags at the rate of N1400 to a government agency. That brought some money into my family which added new development to our house structure.
My husband is a pastor with The Redeemed Christian Church Of God (RCCG). The ministry really prospered in his hands this year. I saw do wonder works among our members such that increase really come to the church.
So, there were hard times this year, but through the grace of God and a little hard work on our side, we had a successful and Friday year.
And, I will grateful appreciate @ecency team for their support. Your support has really push me upward on the blockchain. Thank you and let do more next year.
Those challenges are the best thing that can happen to us. They push us to do more for ourselves and for our families so we can know what we are capable of.
As you said, God is always with us and he never leaves us alone. Even in the darkest situations he always puts a little light to guide us to where we are supposed to be and we should always be grateful.
Best wishes for you.

Thank you very much, friend. I much blessed by your response. I equally wish you well.😊
Thank you too 😊
Life is a road of ups and downs, of stumbles and rewards, but in the end, good triumphs. It is good that God has been with you and that you made the effort. Ecency is wonderful, and together with HIVE, it is the best. You are a blessing.
Merry Christmas!
Thank you very much, Merry Christmas to you too
The year 2024 has been, and is, because it is not over yet, a wonderful year 🎉, full of blessings 🙏, of goals accomplished 🏆, of meeting new friends in HIVE 🤝, of having created better writings in the same platform, because I have improved my suspense stories that I like to write so much 📚. I won a laptop to follow my creations 💻, two scholarships, one to study design 🎨 and the other to study and work as an SEO 🔍. My children are well 👨👩👦, my granddaughter is beautiful 👶, she has already turned two years old 🎂 and the rest of the family is fine 👪. We are all in good health 💪. I can't ask for more, I am happy 😊 and ready for 2025 🌟. I hope everyone has been doing as well as I have.
Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄

I'm so glad to hear that 2024 has been good to you. Not everyone can be that lucky, but it's enough with being alive, because being alive is already a blessing and we should always be grateful for that.
Also, what did you do to win that laptop? I'm needing one right now lol
Best wishes for you ☺️
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
I won the laptop because I am a consistent visitor of webinars and CANVA and SEO talks and in one of them they raffled the machine and I won. Besides, I am a man of great faith and I always keep positive thinking, that helps the universe conspire in my favor.
That's great. Congratulations 🎉
Hello dear friend, I am so glad you have done well this year and next year will be better.
I hope that laptop will make you many dollars and above all you will be happy with what you do.
Oh, thank you, my beautiful friend!❤️
What a nice surprise to see your comment. I'm sure we both will do very well in 2025.
God fill you with blessings.🙏
Amén 🙌🫶🙏
Wow we are already in #day four....
For me 2024 i began with great hopes and plans, but i have not really achieve a lot.. I worked as a pastery chef in an eatery from March till Late september, i use my earning to purchase somethings for my service year, while i was also working on hive.
2024 has been filled with ups and downs for me, just like that i am in december and i'm feeling so bad about it, like i have not anything tangible...
So i made a scale of things of my life from last year december till this year, i have not achieved something tangible, i was depressed for almost a week, i was sad and lonely, i have come of age but nothing to show forth, I wish and pray 2025 will be different
I know how it feels, I've been there too. But I can say you don't need to worry about it. Just find something you like to do and work on it.
For example, do you like to make desserts? Then become an entrepreneur and do and sell your own desserts. It will keep busy and it will also help you to make content for Hive. It's a win/win, don't you think?
2025 will be better for us all. Best wishes for you.

I think this year I managed to reach my target on the block chain which is getting to 5k HP and 70rep. It's been a very busy time for me during these past 6 months but somehow I managed to reach my target but then I had to stop for awhile because of my work.
Next year I am trying to get to 10k HP finger cross and I want to help the community expand even more.
That's amazing. Congratulations on achieving your goals 🎉 Keep the good work and you will achieve every goal you set for 2025.

This 2024 was not as I expected, it was difficult... even so, I think I am in a good place, with things learned and looking ahead.
Sometimes things don't go as planned, but it doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Maybe you have to change some things and try again. Keep it up, everything's gonna be ok.
Go beyond! Plus Ultra!
26 days left for this year to end. So, I’ll keep my hope fresh.
But if I must speak sincerely, 2024 wasn’t my year. I started the year with high hopes - hopes to sort out my school issues, tackle life’s hurdles, yada yada yada, and most importantly, escape the “rat race”. Yet, here I am, ending the year the same way I began it- with high hopes.
Maybe next year will be different.
I understand what you say, but I have to ask you something. Did you do the things that are necessary to achieve and change those things you've mentioned? You can set your goals, but if you don't act in response to accomplish them, then you won't achieve anything.
Everything is up to you, you have to take action and then you'll see how you achieve every goal one by one. Keep yourself going, work hard and everything's gonna be alright.
Best wishes for you.

My 2024 was refreshing, exciting and full of good nice surprices!
I've accomplished almost everything I wanted but there are a couple of things I need to finish before the end of the year. Like my ICF certification! I'll let you know how it goes!
In some ways 2024 was a fantastic year, in other ways it fell short. What made 2024 great is all the time spent with the family, new baby and abundant blessings. It fell short concerning business and keeping up with bills. My mission statement has been fulfilled for 2024, furthering the raising of godly offspring, being present and active with my family.
For 2024 I didn't have very big goals, My plans just were to succeed in school (didn't include finishing school in my 2024 plans as I finish in 2025) and coast on top of my crypto bag trying to grow SPS Stake and Hive power amount. I reached my SPS Stake goal of getting to 60k+ staked, but I didn't make my Hive power goal of 2500 as I burned out at the start of the year of writing blog posts.
I'm trying to get back into it slowly right now, because I don't want to burn myself out again.
I congratulate you for the achievements you reached and for giving you that you need to go step by step to obtain all the proposed goals.
Endurance is better than explosive motivation. Next year you will do better.
I'm glad that have achieved your SPS Staking goal. For the HP one, don't you worry. You will achieve it next year, just keep trying and be constant. You don't need to post everyday, just keep a good pace and you'll succeed.
Best wishes for you.

This year helped me to grow in several aspects, it began with strong emotions that I had to handle in the best way, first one of my brothers had a motorcycle accident and fractured, I was in charge of the medical procedures so he could be operated and also to take care of his rest and recovery, two months later my other brother also had emergency surgery and I had to run out to solve everything. Thank God they recovered and came out well. In addition to these events I went to the hospital on two other occasions for my grandmother, who is very old, she is 93 years old and has given me several scares.
Although the year started off very strong for me, where I had a lot of stress, I dedicated time to do things that I had procrastinated for years, like joining a gym and learning to knit.
I would say that this year has been perfect because I have learned to manage my emotions, to be proactive and also to love myself as I love others.
Happy start to the advent calendar.
I'm glad to hear that you managed to solve all those things and everything is ok now. It is very important to know how to manage and control our emotions so we won't burn out because of the stress. You did it well, keep going that way.
Best wishes for you.
Thank you very much 🥰😉
Me too.
2024 was a busy year for me and I was busy with my final exam and research paper which cost me half of the year. I aimed to graduate and I already finished my graduation. Noting too much to regret.
Congratulations on your graduation. You did it excellent.
Best wishes for you.

Next year will be better for all of us.
Best wishes for you.

Of course I did! I got a new job and I'm on cloud nine with it. I had my university graduation and I got my degree golden title. I met new friends and they are very special to me, they have become in my other family. I had amazing vacations with fantastic friends. I met old friends again after a long time. My economy have increased a little and I got some prizes at work and in my studies 😃
2024 is one of my best years!! 🥳🥳
I'm glad to hear that 2024 has been good to you and congratulations for everything you have achieved this year. 2025 is gonna be even better.
Best wishes for you.
