Have you ever heard the phrase "everything is energy?" We have energy in every aspect of our lives. Our cars run on energy (how we get from Point A to Point B), our lights run on energy (all hours of the day), our hearts run on energy (it's why we can shock people back to life), our phones run on energy (why we have to charge them). Sure there are different types of energy or the energy is created and fed in different ways, but it's all energy. You've probably been present a time or two in a group of people where there energy or the "vibe" is really contagious, maybe during a group planning session or at a concert, and everything feels so alive.
In our lives, including during our victory journeys, sometimes we push through even when the energy seems to be pushing in the opposite direction or certainly not helping us. Sometimes we just don't have a choice about getting stuff done and we make the best of it, but the best we feel about it is that we accomplished it rather than that we're proud of the work we did. And sometimes that's good enough; not everything needs to sparkle like a fairy tale or have that kind of magic.
But when we're working on something we want to be proud of, two of the best things we can do are to come into the work with a good attitude (bringing the right energy) and do our best to work within the flow rather than against it. As helpful as schedules and deadlines can be, sometimes they just don't work with the flow and we aren't always able to find the spirit we need to bring our best energy and attitude in line with this (sometimes arbitrary) scheduling. So if you can be patient and a little flexible with the order that things get done, and be able to bring your best ideas, energy, team and effort to the forefront, go for it. What this world needs is more people who bring their best and their best energy to the world, rather than sucking the life out of everything and everyone. Will you choose to shine today?
