It means the state of not flowing or moving. A situation in which something stays the same doesn't grow & develop. Despite more than 10 years of economic stagnation, the unemployment rate remains low.

“Stagnation is death. If you don’t change, you die. It’s that simple. It’s that scary.” — Leonard Sweet

“Progress is born of agitation. It is agitation or stagnation.” — Eugene V. Debs

“People try to hold onto the sameness. This holding onto prevents growth.” — Bruce Lee

“Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contended soul is the stagnant soul.” — Aiden Wilson Tozer

“There is only evolution or devolution. Growth or regression. There is no cruise control. Because stasis is an illusion.” — Rich Roll

We are seeing stagnation in the market for cows and sheep.

A situation in which a liquid or air does not move or flow.

The black colour of the water is due to stagnation.

“Blocked drains resulting in water stagnation” “clotting in blood vessels is associated with stagnation of the blood.”

Lack of activity, growth, or development.

“A period of economic stagnation” “there is a risk of intellectual stagnation.”

In terms of recreation, culture, education, and even rural industries, the period was characterized as much by development and change as by stagnation and decline.

Change is mandatory. It transforms us to move forward with one step to reach miles and miles in our journey. It inspires and empowers to reach and elevate us to the next level in real life. Thought process is ultimate. Everyday is not Sunday. Monday is crucial and vital to make our own ideas into work by implementing and performing makes an impact and throws away the ill feelings and dullness in all respects at all times on all occasions. We should not allow to stagnate at one place without moving or like a dead body. We are here to create something new and clear the backlogs and keep it in order to proceed further in gigantic and dynamic way makes an impact on us and others as well. Never discourage or degrade yourself irrespective of obstacles and hurdles that occur in middle is the right way of approach. It makes you strong and stable to withstand on your own. It gives an extra energy by boosting up to the next level in reality. Stagnation is an indication for backwardness. It kills us in longrun if we don’t identify and take proper action in time. It also kills us slowly unknowingly. Awareness helps to riseup and getup then dressup to do our duty and feels responsibility and accountability. It awakens to think forward in strategic way to plan well and execute better and the best. It makes us active in every step in this journey. Application is vital and activeness makes it happen in reality.
