I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #363 - On Hive The More We Grow, the Faster We Grow! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, July 25, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I think that most of us here would agree that beginning on Hive, if we didn't invest from outside, is a pretty challenging and slow process. Things seem to take forever at that stage, inching along as they do. At some point (usually somewhere around 100 HP) we notice, however, that things start to speed up a bit, much to our delight. This acceleration is a natural, and exciting, aspect of how our Blockchain functions; the more we grow here, the faster we grow. And when we add our own energy and efforts to that increasing forward momentum, we can make some quite astonishing growth indeed in fairly short periods of time.

The more HP that we have, the more quickly it comes back to us, both from the APR and curation. The same thing with HBD in Savings, as the 20% APR and compounding interest demonstrate the same exponential growth. It's a similar story with many of our layer-2 tokens; the more we have, the more we get.

This is actually one of the most exciting aspects about consistently building, growing, and saving here on Hive, as our growth speeds up as we accumulate more of various assets, and it continues to quicken. All our time and hard work here does indeed pay off, and it's absolutely mathematical in its simplicity.

At some point this exponential growth begins to exceed even what we can easily track, or use for that matter. This is the Hive holy grail that many of us seek, and for which we toil day in and day out: growth levels that surpass our ability to fully practically utilize. That's a very real possibility my friends, and it's one of many reasons why we should never give up when things seem slow here, because they won't be slow for long. Faster and faster we go, in our upward exponetial spiral! Enjoy the ride!

After finishing the previous iteration of this post yesterday, I focused on and completed my Hive catch-up and tasks by around 4PM, at which point I left the Flow House to do some land work. The main thing that I accomplished yesterday was to repair a particularly challenging (it has problems rather often) water-collection gutter intersection joint, balancing at the top of the 12-foot orchard ladder. Hopefully this repair will hold a bit longer. I also learned the ins and outs of the hot water system for Power Sharing and the Shower House with Ano, and how to troubleshoot it when it's not working. While I didn't get a lot done on the land yesterday, what I did do was important.

After working, I strained out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, as you might notice that I do very regularly. I love it, so I always make sure that I have some! When the kefir was done, I got food supplies from Tutu's, made myself some food in the Landing, then returned to the Flow House for my evening round of Hive catch-up and tasks. While I finished that quite early, I ended up staying awake until almost 12AM, pottering around in the various nooks and crannies of Hive.

I woke up only a few hours after falling asleep last night, and unable to get back go sleep, I utilized my time by doing another round of Hive catch-up and tasks, then I made another attempt at sleep around 5AM. I didn't sleep much more, though thankfully I feel pretty good this morning. I've been working on Hive since early morning, including beginning to write this post.

It's now just past 12:30PM, so a good time to end this post for now, to do another more thorough round of Hive catch-up and tasks, before going to work on the land later in the afternoon. I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow morning! Onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚
