Hello hivers,how are you doing today,today's topic is a bit personal,introducing how i learnt to identify and seperate grains from seeds in my finances.

This piece of information is applicable to any kind of person as long as you have some kind of finances or the other (no discrimination)

Before i move further,i would like to define seeds and grains so that we can deeply understand the terms.

What does planting a seed mean

Planting a seed means to lay the groundwork for something that can develop or expand in the future.....

If you've heard about ***seed money ***in finance,it is the amount of capital an investor gives a business ;usually a startup,in exchange for a stake in the business.

Now that means the investor giving out that capital was being futuristic... it's just like planting,you put the seeds in the soil(instead of consuming them) in hope that they will one day germinate and give you a tree.

With that being said what do i mean by a grain?

A grain is actually different from a seed in that,you consume a grain and you plant a seed,it can even be the same thing(the grain and the seed) but what you do with them determines if they are referred to as grains or seed.

Think about a corn(maize),the corn can be a grain and it can also be a seed;a grain if you consume it and a seed if you do not but instead choose to plant it.

Now out of all of the money you have or you earn,there is grain and there is seed,you only need to identify them,which is grain or seed and how to make use of them in the most efficient manner.

For example if someone gifts you a million dollars now,if you consider it a grain,you'll end up spending all of it without investing and if you think of it as only seed,you might starve to death

That is why there is a need to seperate your grains from your seeds(a new strategy we should all make use of) so that we don't end up dying of hunger or eating all that we have.

Being a farmer i understand that the farmer who eats all of his harvest without reserving the seeds will starve when it is finished and won't have anything to harvest when the season of harvesting comes.

It's the same way in finance, instead of focusing all of our money on investing and seeding,we should also take care of our bills,eat good food but not at the expense of our seeds.

I learnt this listening to a pastor speak about it on TV and i just started pondering over it....I know i'm not the originator of this but i would love to call it the seed-grain analogy of money.

It gives us better understanding of finances by using examples of things we already know.

# How to sow a seed?

To sow a seed,you would need to invest it,you would need to lose it to gain it back...what i mean is you won't have it at your disposal for a while so that you can have a lot of it in your disposal when the reward comes.

There is probably no need to explain how to eat your grains because we all do that everyday,we pay bills,we eat,we drink;these are necessities of life but when it comes to sowing a seed,it is vital to understand a few things.

1.Not every seed will germinate

Being a farmer,i understand this very well,we usually like to plant at least 2 seeds per hole and the reason is because there are different factors which can cause the seed not to germinate.

It could be that the seed is not viable,it could be that ants ate up the seed,that is why we plant more than one seed in one hole so it increases the chance of at least one seed germinating.

In investing,not every seed you plant will germinate...you win some,you lose some

2.A seed does not become a tree in a day

A seed will not grow into a tree in one night,it takes time depending on the kind of seed you plant,before you begin to see fruits,it might take a while.

Investments are long term and expecting too much in a short period of time will only frustrate you and make you quit.

3.A good fertile land is needed

If the land where you planted your seed is bad i.e filled with ants,too swampy or too dry,it will affect the seed likewise looking for good opportunities and platforms for investment by carrying out adequate research is necessary.

4.A seed needs to be monitored to become a tree

Before a seed becomes a tree,a lot has to be done inbetween like constant wetting,weeding,mulching(if needed) etc

You just don't plant and go home expecting an harvest in 3 months,it requires your constant monitoring.

Monitoring investments is necessary,keeping up to date,watching the news etc is important for your investments.

One of the biggest ways to invest your seed money is to buy hive and hold

The people doing V2K want me to believe it is this lady @battleaxe Investigate what she has been up to for 5 years. Its the next step to stopping this. Make her prove where she has been for 5 years or where she is now. She is involved deeply with @fyrstikken and his group. Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant say she is the one directly doing the v2k. Make her prove it. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Make @battleaxe prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the v2k in me is being broadcasted from her location. @battleaxe what is your location? https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
