Our energy is sacred
Energy, along with time, is a principal actor that decides how we “show up.”
It is an incredibly hard thing to balance.
Our days and nights continually fill with distractions, some designed with energy draining in mind.
On the other hand, energy is frightening to store. It feels good to release our energy into something. It allows us to point to that “something” to prove we are somebody.
In is in the spirit of this that we create “vents” for our energy to spill out.
They show the world we are up to something and allow us not to deal with the fear of storing energy.
These vents take many forms, from unnecessary side projects, to “communities” we join at work, and even to relationships we create and support.
Be bold.
Take time to recognize these vents, and shut them down when you can. The result resembles a ventilation system. Every one one you close makes the rest of the system stronger.
Don’t create any “new holes.” Make sure you dig your current holes deeper.
