It is day 44 for me here and looking at my stats on https://steemd.com/@freedomshift This is what I see:

What does it say to you?

Some has suggested that reputation score of 45 is a bench mark, is it significant?

### What do _you_ hope to accomplish here?

Many steemians stated what they want to get from here. I think that is the wrong approach.

I believe in:

- give, and it shall be given unto you ...
- be the change that you want to see happen

So, i am too old here to make a self introduction and it is not one of the 5 tags that I can use for this post.

As of today, I have learned that the power, Steem Power, that I have is what carries weight if used properly and with discernment. Therefore, whenever STEEM is at a low enough exchange rate with respect to other virtual assets that I own, such as ETH, I have transferred and converted to (bought) STEEM and Powered Up.

I have taken advice to resteem less and perhaps until I have a large number of followers, a few thousand perhaps.

I have also learned to comment and curate more than I post - comments are counted as posts in terms of rewards albeit rewards are not counted the same way for comments versus blog-posts.

My short-term goal is to get my reputation score up to 50.

My purposes here are to:
- encourage
- inspire
- help
- collaborate

My theme or direction is to be prepared and help others to do the same and collaborate with like minded steemians in anticipation of the freedom shift:
