Having more resources is better than having less resources.
If you were having a party, you might consider all the snacks and drinks at your place as resources.
If you were going shopping, you might consider a fat wallet a resource.
If you needed a date on short notice, you might consider all the girls’ numbers in your phone as potential resources.
Some things can switch from being burdens to resources.
Like you might consider a garage full of junk as a burden. Every time you look at them piled up in the corner you’d get a bit of anxiety. Maybe realize that some day you’re going to have to clean up all that junk.
But then you decide to have a garage sale. You move all the junk from the back out to your driveway.
Maybe you make a couple hundred bucks. Not only did all the bargain shoppers pay you for your junk, but they took it away for you as well.
Many people look at other people with a mix of desire and anxiety.
On the one hand, they look pretty cool, and might make good friends or potential lovers.
But on the other hand, they could represent potential rejection.
Depending on your background and history, you might have more of one than the other.
You probably know a few people who LOVE groups of people.
They see them as PURE resources. Nothing negative. Only potential positive.
This, of course, tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Because they’re looking over the crowd with a positive expectation, they send out a certain “energy.”
So when they interact with people, that positive “energy” tends to generate the result they expect.
Luckily, being able to project that “positive energy” is a skill.
Meaning no matter where you are on the spectrum, you can tilt the scale in your favor.
Until you see EVERYBODY as pure potential. Positive resources you can “use” for any occasion.
Friends, business partners, lovers, whatever you want.
