Why Stagnation is The Enemy of Life

Life is fundamentally about movement.

There is no life, where there is no movement.

The more intentional or purposeful the movement, the richer and fuller the life

The more complex the movement, the greater the opportunity for growth

And life is essentially about growth, the fulfillment of potential

There is of course room for stillness, intentional stillness

But there is absolutely no room for stagnation.

Because stagnation is the beginning of the process of dying

Stagnation breeds restlessness

And the antidote to restlessness is itself movement.

You may stand still, but you’ll soon come to realize that time does not.

Time is ruthless in this way, it will go on without you, like a freight train set on its destination.

So don’t let life pass you by, because if you stagnate, it inevitably will.
