A New Milestone, Reaching 10,000 Steem Power

There is one sentence that I have heard “little by little gradually becomes a hill”, a sentence that sounds ordinary but contains a very valuable meaning. My journey on the Steemit platform has passed more than two years, of course providing a lot of understanding and experience from every achievement passed. Tonight I look happy and excited to see the growth of this new Steem Power has reached 10k, this is the first time I feel two dolphins. On this happy night I didn't think about going to bed early because I was happy, anyway tomorrow there weren't many activities that I did.

Achieving the second dolphin is a journey that is not easy for me, because there are so many challenges and obstacles that get in the way from various angles of life, ranging from education, busy daily activities, and consistency that is difficult to control. In the growth of Steem Power, consistency is the main part that must be maintained, especially when support from big people is unreachable. It can only be controlled with patience and motivation that is an encouragement. At the beginning of building a foundation is a very long growth, even I also heard from many great Steemians that getting up from 0 is not easy, therefore as Steemians, we need to maintain Steem Power in order to walk faster to the next ladder. Even though my journey is a little long I stepped little by little in collecting Steem Power without fatigue.

After reaching the first Dolphin last year, the growth of Steem Power felt easier than ever until now I have reached the second dolphin. I started to get up and enthusiastic in working when the number of SP was around 3000. After overcoming many obstacles, I started to be more consistent. After reaching the first dolphin🐬, the SP growth was faster than ever until I was able to enjoy more curation from voted posts.

As for future targets, I will continue to maintain as much SP as possible to get the next dolphin, I also maintain the club by not spending too much Steem so that SP growth is faster. That way I can help other steemians vote with their Power. The more SP we have, the greater the value of votes we can give, and the greater the rewards from curation we get. I believe that maintaining Steem Power is very important.

Achieving 10000 SP has made me more enthusiastic and passionate about developing my next works. In the next year, I will try to be more consistent and target to reach 25000 SP before the end of 2025. One of them is by following every challenge held by the Steemit team as best as possible according to one's own abilities. Try to take every opportunity that is open to work as a curator and keep writing consistently every day. Thus, God willing, it will be easier to increase SP to the next ladder.

After claiming almost 4 Steem and 10 SP in rewards, I also converted 3.7 shillings SBD into Steem until finally my Steem increased from 149 to 169. Then I immediately did a Power Up to reach the first Dolphin tonight. How to Power Up as usual, after entering the wallet, then click the triangle dot next to Steem and select the power up menu, then enter the number of Steem you want to Power Up. Because I wanted to Power Up everything so I entered all the Steem I had so that it would be all SP to achieve my first two dolohins.

Screenshot of my wallet when powering up, the red columns are Steem and SP which I will convert to SP altogether.

In addition to a faster SP increase, Power Up will also maintain the club, the more Steem that is Power Up, the higher the club you have, if you want to maintain club 100, you need to Power Up everything. For tonight I did Power Up from all of my Steem stash. The number of Steem that I power up this last time to reach two dolphins is around 169,760, as in the picture that I have shared below.

More than two years of traveling on the Steemit platform has provided many changes, starting from knowledge, understanding, and a broad view of getting to know life in foreign countries, both culture, customs, races and so on through the works of great Steemians here from various countries. Not only that, Steemit has also helped me to be lighter in the economy, especially in undergoing my daily education which requires living expenses, the only thing I can rely on is Steem or SBD which I can use to perfect my daily needs in lectures.

Alhamdulillah with gratitude, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all my Steemit friends, @steemcurator01 and @steemcurator02, and all the curators who have provided endless support, and to Mr. @pennsif. Thank you also to Steemit for creating this amazing space, where we can share, grow, and develop for fellow learners.

Then my deep appreciation goes to my close friends who have always been there, providing encouragement and support at every step of my growth in increasing Steem Power. Without all of you, this achievement would not feel so meaningful. May this community continue to grow and become a place that inspires more people.
