My health instructor said something the other day that has stuck with me. She reminded us that we all create so much energy. You see, physiologically, our bodies are processing and converting food into energy constantly. But where do we put that energy?
She offered this: "We all have so much energy to give to this world. What are you choosing to do with your energy? Is it spent wasted, or are you doing something with it? Think about what you have to give in this life... to yourself, to others, to this world..." I believe it's similar to the concept that we can all choose to do wonderful things---each one of us---simply, large or small, silently, or with fanfare. We have so much to give.
I continue to think about this concept. It's true, when I study the amount of energy our bodies produce (enough to keep us warm, enough to walk to the corner, enough to plant a garden, enough to have children, enough to conceptualize improving our life) it is truly amazing. And then I thought about where my energy goes. Thankfully, I don't expend most of it on useless activities. I feel fairly pleased with where my energy goes but I admit there is still a lot more to give. Hmmm, where will my energy go today?
