Hello **Hive Ghana Community!** Welcome to my blog. It had been about eight months on Hive Platform. I have learned many things. I want to share my story here, may be it can be an inspirational source for someone here. Once I dreamed big on Hive and now I 'm turning my dreams into reality. ![photo-1548438294-1ad5d5f4f063.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aslamrer/23tRxoYLoH9vj8j7xF3dGCq7xb5FgPNr5piGNqiZdiZAEnQYH68N1rN5ZQigbLgzJUGr8.jpeg) [Source](https://unsplash.com/photos/dream-big-text-U2eUlPEKIgU) --- # Hurdles I faced in my Hive Dreams --- When I joined Hive Platform, I had little knowledge about Communities. I was always worried when I posted a good post but there was no Curation. I was also same newbies whose focus was on earning not learning. I always made efforts to earn more. In these efforts, I made many mistakes. My three posts got muted in **Black and White Community**. I didn't know anything **how to use tags**, I made mistakes there. Without a mentor, I was moving into the darkness. In a thirst of learning, I was moving from one community to another. I received DM from @dlmmqb, who is the founder of Hive Pakistan. This DM changed my hive fate. He guided me like a leader. I followed him and I was impressed by him. One day, I applied for **Hive Learners Verification**. They delayed my verification process for five months. I was disappointed by this news. Dlm inspired me for keeping the good momentum in my posts and must fill them with Quality. ![photo-1494178270175-e96de2971df9.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aslamrer/23tGXZBBrMidZvabGdjCU5v27DafSj3EPjXazeJmrzLPMdR1FC1KNc1iEtJkFnRKJSMax.jpeg) [Source](https://unsplash.com/photos/black-background-with-yellow-text-overaly-mRMQwK513hY) I gather hopes from his advices and continued my hive journey. After more than three months, I got good news that Hive Learners Community verified me and provided its badge. I was much happy. The real journey of learning started here. After joining Hive Learners Community, I learned many things. I received **Hive Pakistan Apprentice Curator** status in just five months. The person who was disappointed in the beginning was hopeful for his long lasting stay on hive. Yes, I not only got above curator status but also won the title of **Most Popular Author of the week** in next few months. It was time when I came to realize about my writing abilities and my strength. This achievement was a big motivation for me. After this achievement, I got the tittle **Author of the week** in **Actifit Community**. I 'm now continuously a participant in **LPUD** and **HPUD**. I have won Leo and Hive delegation in **LPUD**. Lastly, I want to say that there is one tough door towards Success on Hive. When you opened this door with keys of hard work, the other doors are easy to open. Your first success will bring more achievements for you. We should be persistent, hopeful and positive. Now, I have about **1.3K HP** and **68** reputation that was once a dream for me. ![photo-1568849676085-51415703900f.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/aslamrer/23wMWb97DhUKwQEinkNXwn7KT2hHvowg7hbeatxYRnXncU2dum2LMkd8j791SFHkbuXuH.jpeg) [Source](https://unsplash.com/photos/black-background-with-yellow-text-overaly-mRMQwK513hY) This is my entry for Hive Ghana Weekly Topics, I hope you enjoyed my inspirational story.
