Are you willing to be a beginner? The first (of many?) Leo Power Up Day posts.

avatar

Almost 18 months ago I joined Hive. Despite the fact that I'm not as interested in finance, economics, crypto, wealth building, or saving as my partner is it didn't take long before the Leo Finance Community found its way into my Feed.

I suspect that probably has something to do with how well it's run.

The man who got me onto Hive (my beloved @new.things) also got me onto the Hive Power Up Day bandwagon. As far as I can remember that is what got me posting in the Leo Finance Community for the very first time.

Even though I didn't (and still don't) understand much of what's discussed in there on a day-to-day basis.

After many, many months of doing HPUD and feeling comfortable participating in this monthly shenanigans party, I read something about LEO Power Up Day. And I thought to myself, "Oh, man. I can't keep up! Another thing!"

In 18 months of playing on the blockchain I've come to realise there is always going to be another thing.

Somewhere around the same time that LPUD crossed my path as another party I could attend and participate in, I had also become aware of the Leo Finance front-end.

I've slowly become less scared and more curious when I learn about new front-ends. I'm now somewhat willing to go check them out and click around to see if I like them.

With the (semi) recent launch of Threads I had reason to poke around on the Leo Finance site to see if I could:

a. work out how to play with this new toy,
b. see if I like it, and if I did,
c. support this "Twitter on Hive" short-form project.

Early thoughts? I like it. I think it has incredible potential. And it appears to my not-a-developer, still-feel-like-I-know-nothing-about-the-blockchain eyes there's a super committed team of humans wanting and willing it to grow.

As long as it feels fun and feels like it's going somewhere I shall keep jumping in and playing.

But back to LPUD...

This month @new.things, the endlessly curious explorer, encouraged me to participate in LEO Power Up Day. He was so keen for me to participate that he not only gave me 150 LEO tokens so that I could had no excuse not to power them up, but he also made this pretty graph for me.

Somehow I've got to find a way to get excited about growing wealth!

I don't know why I struggle with it, yo! I'm good at maths. I'm actually great with money (when I have it - lol). But I think I love all the soft stuff much better: learning about and teaching about emotional intelligence, healthy relationships, and being a good human. You know, all the lovey-dovey stuff.

If only I could tie the material stuff of wealth building to my interests around helping humans be better, kinder people I'd be set! :P

But I think this post is supposed to be about LEO Power Up Day. LPUD.

So, I did it. I powered up the 150 LEO the awesome man gifted me. He told me to login to yet another new (to me) front-end: LEO DEX

And then I staked 150 LEO. (He assures me that staking and powering up is the same thing; this is yet another thing I did not know).

I calmly, gently stepped forward into yet another new thing as a beginner yet again.

And, really, I think that's the point of this post (and maybe the point of my life?) to keep being willing to be a beginner. Over and over and over again.

To keep trying new things: bravely, willingly, with an open mind, to see what may come of it.

If I'm to make it a habit to power up LEO every month or even semi regularly, I'm going to need to find a way to make more LEO. I'm going to need to find a way to make wealth building through crypto more interesting to me.

Let's face it: I just kind of like writing stories and sharing ideas about being human not researching what crypto is doing.

So will I be back next month for another LPUD? And the month after, and the month after?

Time will tell, I suppose. If you're a LEO lover and have ideas to share with me, the open minded beginner, about how to authentically engine in all things Leo more then I'm all ears.

I do have to power up today, hanks for the reminder. I'm getting a bit bored of Threads - it's another thing to log onto and tend to and I'm wondering how thin I can spread myself.

I also fear I might be trying to do too many things. I've found that the ones I stick to (or keep coming back to) are the right ones for me to get engaged with long(er) term.

How is your foot rehab going? Are you feeling 100% strong again?

I'm so chuffed and congratulations to you on your first LPUD. It's awesome that your hubby encourages you to do it and supports you too.🥰 Fantastic!

And I would suggest sharing your thoughts on threads now and then or daily if you can. That's one way to earn LEO hehe.

I am all eyes too! I am also interested in building wealth but just last night while attending the Talk Show by @tengolotodo on the Ecency discord, I was bamboozled by the whole terms and whatnot on Pi. Yeah. Pi! So, I am like... what?

That is how I get with hive sometimes. I am so limited but I want to un-limit myself. And oh, that is a really helpful chart. I could never settle down to actually do something like that...

I think I'll just get me a Hive boyfriend...🚶‍♀️😂

I am so limited but I want to un-limit myself.

I think there are actual, real-life limitations of 24 hours in a day, the need for sleep, the need (for most of us) to work elsewhere to collect fiat, the need to see other humans in real life for actual hugs, making time for movement, eating, sunlight, getting our feet on the earth, etc

But I hear you - I also think there are many limits within our own minds that hold us back: fears, worries, anxieties that aren't actually keeping us safe but are keeping us small. Like you, I'm forever on the lookout for them so I can deal with them!

And oh, that is a really helpful chart. I could never settle down to actually do something like that...

Why, thank you, Ed! Appreciate it :)

I feel a little bit self-serving by promoting my own post on Threads. Though I feel GREAT about sharing other people's great posts on Threads. But that does mean I need to actually get on threads... probably every other day at least.

Ah, so much to do! So many options.

And I so do not want to know about Pi. #toomanythings!!!! !LOL Though I hope it does go really, really, really well. Truly. Just don't tell me about it. 😂😂😂

Also, I've been meaning to ask you the story behind your Hive username. Are you willing to tell me why "TengoLoTodo"? Or is it a secret?
