Energy is really an amazing universal property. It seems alot like love. The more you use it, the more it expands rather than diminishing. It just may be the world’s best renewable resource. How many resources do we encounter that seem to grow with use? I have always said that the reason children have so much energy is that they never think about what happened yesterday, nor do they waste time thinking about what must be done tomorrow. They are really reactionaries; “in the moment” people. Every self-help book I have ever read talks about the importance of staying in the moment. But have I ever really achieved that? For me, maybe it has occurred during a moment in sports or if I really become engrossed in a good book. But the moments are fleeting. So rather than trying to achieve that elusive “in the moment” feeling, maybe I should just try to keep expending energy as much as possible because I seem to become so energized as I send energy out into the world. Just reaching out to people. Sending out my smile. Tying a child’s shoelace. Playing peek-a-boo with a child in the next car. Complimenting someone on their outfit. Thanking someone who has helped me. Anything to send a wave of energy into the world. I’ll never know how much joy my little piece of energy might give, or how far it may travel. But one thing for sure, I love the feeling of that energy rebounding back into me. Amazing!!!
