Energy, by its nature, flows. Moving from one state to another, one place to another etc. So if energy is always present and moving, what does that mean to you?
Individually, it is all about how you cultivate and use your energy. Just like a garden. Furrow the fields, tend to the plants, demonstrate care, provide effort to the well being, and you will likely yield positive results. A person is just like a garden. You don’t get a positive yeild in a garden without thought, direction, and effort. As a person, you must be your own tender of energy. You must use the power of thought, direction, and effort, and you can yield your own positive results.
What about groups? Groups have energy, and you can try to stop it, forceably redirect it, or find a way to help steer, or influence to the positive, the inevitable flow of energy. Energy flows in groups and exists. And because energy does not like to be stifled, many groups who feel stifled tend to find negative outlets for their energy — yeilding poor, or negative results. Groups need to have collective thoughts such as mission or vision, as well as the direction of purpose, and they need to have avenues to exert effort — to work.
Energy flows. You can try and stop it or your can find ways of cultivating it to the positive.
