Episode Synopsis

What is the pictorial definition of being stagnant? It is: nothing is coming in and nothing is going out. It hit me! I as an entity always have something of value. The key to living a life void of stagnation is to never hold more than I need. When I hold more, my need increases, and so will my spending expenses. I do not want to limit this post to just finance, but I wanted to make that point first. Now let's go! I have no need for what I do not need. Let that sink in. After my needs and basic wants, every other resource I have become idle or wasteful. To refuse stagnation, I must be aware of everything I can scatter, every resource I can scatter, because withholding them can easily lead to poverty. Give, sell, invest, just do anything but hold. Scatter into many places and after a while, I'll see what I've scattered coming back to me in multiplication. If I have more food than I can eat for a while, I give and that person would have it in mind for a life time. I have savings, why keep it and let it tempt me?! Instead, i find trusted investment portals. Do I give sound advice? I find someone to give them to, helping a friend I have a greater chance of that friend referring me to someone who would be willing to pay. My value has increased then and so has my net worth. I make my every resource restless and I can never be stagnant. This can only be possible if I have a liberal mind. A liberal mind cannot withhold more than can meet his need. A liberal mind is restless to put every single resource it has to use. I have a blender that works well but is idle, why not hire someone in need of cash to make lemonade to sell? The thing is that, I am doing no one good (including myself) to withhold, but whoever's I am giving, selling or investing my resources in, will bless me because I've fulfilled a need. It seems much easier to conserve, keep, store, build up, but that is lazy thinking. It is a lazy and/or fearful mind that stores up resources. Even the wealthy knows "everything I have must be at work to produce more". You might feel you have nothing conserved to give, so let me tell you: the energy I have saved up after resting, the extra room no one occupies, the idle blender, bookshelf, laptop, books, my experience etc. The list is endless, no one is without a resource they can't give, sell or invest. The only reason I should hold on to a resource that is not needful is for the purpose of making it better, thereby making it more valuable. I might withdraw showcasing my skills to people in need of it, mind you -not because I feel it's not ready yet (that is procrastination) but because I am at this moment hewing it to be more valuable. I might not invest money because at the moment I am trying to grow it on a regular basis to get myself a machine that would give me something better. Again and again, never keep any resource idle, only develop at the moment or give/sel/invest.
