Men imagine that they communicate their virtue or vice only by overt actions, and do not see that virtue or vice emit a breath every moment. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Energy is a necessity for life. Whether it be food, fuel for the family car, or electricity to operate your computer our lives have become dependent on energy of various forms.
The under utilized energy that is essential to a life well-lived is energy that every living being emits. Yes, that includes you! We are more than consumers, we are sources of energy. Each of us have the potential of sharing our energy with others; isn't that what happens when a couple fall in love? A parent aches to give freely to their child? Their parent? Friend?
What do you do with this resource? You can squander it by not valuing it; social scientists might refer this choice as low-self esteem. I can destroy with it with negativity, criticism, or sarcasm. You can empower others with it through kindness, appreciation and acknowledgement.
One of the marvelous ways to utilize this potential energy is through the choice of association. Who do you seek to spend time with? How long do you remain in the presence of those who suck the life of every living thing around? Do you seek to be with those that energizes the space they live? Who would you want to be in the presence of?* It is one of our fundamental freedoms!
