I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #778 - We're Here to Help Others, but We Can't Do the Work for Them - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, September 13, 2024

I live naked and barefooted, 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, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

So many people appear on the Blockchain over time, coming for the promise of easy profit, then after a few disappointing tries at writing posts, they leave, before even really beginning their Hive journey. So many newcomers don't even understand this Hive framework in which they hope to succeed, not taking the time to learn and understand it well, so it's no wonder that they aren't successful with their half-hearted attempts. Too many want instant gratification, not realizing that their success or failure on Hive is in their hands, and that commitment, dedication, and consistency over time are required to ground it into actuality.

This touches on a very important point. While we are absolutely here to assist and help each other to grow, as that's the inherent nature of our Blockchain, we can't do others' work for them. Everyone in and of themselves must find the desire, inspiration, motivation, passion, and determination to build, grow, and succeed here. Those that only want free handouts will not last long at all on Hive, and that's a very good thing, as they would be very weak links in the (Block)chain indeed.

I'm always happy to help people grow on Hive, but I also need to see that those who are wanting such assistance are doing the necessary work to make it happen as well, and that they are not just a temporary, passing blip on the Blockchain. I'm all-in for the the long haul, giving my all here every day, and I very much want to support my fellow Hivers that are equally solid in their commitment to Hive and its community. Who wants to waste resources on someone who doesn't actually care about Hive, and who is only here momentarily, for a quick buck? Not me.

It takes time on Hive to build our network, and our various sources of income, but that's how it's done. Yes, it's certainly possible to invest outside crypto and fiat assets into Hive, to get a good start, and to boost our growth periodically, but the meat and potatoes of that growth must come from our own efforts, consistently, over long stretches of time. Hive is very much the real deal, but it's not (usually) get rich quick, but rather building and growing wealth over the long term. Think of Hive like a personal business, and treat it as such, giving it the time, energy, and effort that is needed for it to flourish, and success is all but guaranteed. Just start. Now. And don't stop.

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, way later than usual, just after 3PM. I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing first, before putting my focus on anything else. It was cloudy and rainy most of the day yesterday, so I was only able to get a few photos for these posts taken. After finishing kefir, I went to spend some time with Soozi, to support here at this very challenging time for her (her partner, and my friend, Sperry, committed suicide at the beginning of the week, very sadly). After spending a good while with Soozi, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of Cecropia and Melochia leaves for cow-milking food. With that done, I took a shower, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and made my way back to the Flow House, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. Part way through, I went to the Landing to get the jar of my kefir blend from the fridge, and I ended up sharing a really fantastic conversation with Zai for almost an hour and a half. After bidding Zai 'good night', I returned to the Flow House to get back to Hive. Since I spent so much time talking with Zai, and because I had a lot of notifications, I wasn't able to get fully caught up before I had to stop a little after 12AM. I stayed up a bit longer, doing a quick round of token management, and checking in on my X feed, before finally going to bed at 1AM, definitely too late. I woke up later than usual, just before 9AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee around 9:30AM.

Iolanthe asked me if I could drive her over to the house of one of our jungle neighbors, Nicole, to take care of her dog while she's away. As soon as that was done, I headed back to the Flow House straight away to write this post. It's now just before 1:15PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain and blend kefir, take photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again. 

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth, care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice. 

11.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon. 

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
