This is something I have been whining about for quite some time now – and for good bloody reason! The question asked of me has been "what the purpose and objective of initiatives like #thriveonhive is" and here I am to answer that! - In short… USER RETENTION! Not a complicated concept, but most certainly a little more complex to implement than most are bothered to discover.

What people seem to be overlooking is “collective influence”. Yes, we are all big people that have to pave our own way in the grand scheme of things, but here’s the thing… blockchain "anything" can be VERY overwhelming to MANY … I speak from my own experience. We are NOT islands!!!!!! I have said it once, twice and thrice – but never enough…. WE need to work TOGETHER if we are to achieve ANYTHING of consequence in this space!!!!

User retention being one of the many things on the agenda! Initiatives like #thriveonhive, bring people together… creates a sense of purpose in a unified space and breeds PASSION! That pesky little word that aint going ANYWHERE, because it is top of the list of priority! What we did as a community yesterday showed collective dedication! It showed unity and parallel thought! It was illustrative of a collective that stands together and shares the same vision! - Because that IS what it is and when people see that… they want in!!!! You HAVE to ignite passion and enthusiasm in people if you want them to walk along the road with you. In addition to this it is something that SPARKS hope! There are a lot of people in our space that (despite their dedication) see no light. I aim to CHANGE THAT with initiatives like this! They can see and become a part of something (a community) that gets them excited about the space and above that, they can step into a space with people that will help keep that enthusiasm alive - pushing forward... TOGETHER!

Yesterday - as we were about to "hit the blockchain" with our posts... there was conversation among many about how "they as individuals" had come into our space because of our last My Steem Story initiative... and whilst they had joined us because of it - they had not experienced the "hype" of the moment itself. It is VERY emotional - because there are FEW things in this world that compare to comradery!

It brings us together and keeps us together! - Like I have already said... Hive is not simply a blockchain - it is a decision, a mindset and a like minded community that shares in the growth of such. - I consider our Power House Creatives community a catalyst in this endeavor.

“Passion can seem intimidatingly out of reach at times - a distant tower of flame, accessible only to geniuses and to those who are specially touched by God. But curiosity is a milder, quieter, more welcoming, and more democratic entity. The stakes of curiosity are also far lower than the stakes of passion. [...] Curiosity only ever asks one simple question: "Is there anything you're interested in?" Anything? Even a tiny bit? No matter how mundane or small? The answer need not set your life on fire, or make you quit your job [...]; it just has to capture your attention for a moment. But in that moment, if you can pause and identify even one tiny speck of interest in something, then curiosity will ask you to turn your head a quarter of an inch and look at the thing a wee bit closer. Do it. It's a clue. It might seem like nothing, but it's a clue. Follow that clue. Trust it. See where curiosity will lead you next.” ― Elizabeth Gilbert
