We live in a capitalist society
We also live in a world where we are told that we are not enough and marketing companies exploit that fact
Every week there’s a new miracle diet, cosmetic line, fashion trend. In other words, a new special something to solve all your problems
If you feel you lack something, worry no more because here comes the news honey thing that will fix that lack in your life
Consumption
There’s nothing wrong with it. I love the latest gadget, clothes and other stuff
But if that’s all I did
If all I ever wanted was to consume, consume, consume then guess what? Eventually all that consumption would consume me
At least I’d feel it in my bank account
Here comes that word again, balance. Something needs to balance out all that consumption
Produce
You need to be a producer. A producer creates, they bring something of value to the market place
Producing something will make you wealthy. However you measure wealth, money, love, loyalty, health. These things come from production not consumption
A productive individual actively works towards making things happen
If you produce nothing, you’ll earn nothing. If all you do is consume, eventually you’ll be consumed
But if you merge the two, you can comfortably be a ‘prosumer’ – a hybrid of of a producer and a consumer
That means you not only write the checks but you produce the paper it’s written on! Think about it
Close the circle between producing and consuming and the wheel will keep turning
You consume too much food and produce no energy output to balance it out and watch your body mass expand until it causes health problems
Even having money without letting go of some results in a hoarding stingy heart. Why do you think the wealthy are philanthropic?
The yin and yang keep the balance of man
Produce, consume then produce again
Be a prosumer
Food for thought
Be well

I like this, the concept of “give back to the world what you take from it.” I’m not sure where I’m at myself, but this sure is something to think about!
Thanks for posting!
