I Will Stop Wasting My Limited Energy

Energy.
It’s precious, and each one of us has a limited supply.
How is your energy?
How do you feel?
How are you using that precious resource, that is yours and your alone?
For for too long I’ve wasted my energy combating negative forces around me. But it’s been wrong. Speaking into the void, shouting into the darkness.
No more.
My energy is a force. My voice, I’m called to use it. And I will use it, to lift up others, to bear witness to the suffering around me. And to shine a light on forward movement.
My energy can move my internal mountains. I will hold it in my hands, protect it from evil. Shield it from darkness. Save it. Conserve it. Share it with those who deserve it.
My energy is mine, alone! I will work to remove what harms it.
Every day I remove something from my life that isn’t helping me progress: An old email newsletter that reminds me of a job that went south. A social media “friend” who, actually, isn’t a friend at all. A family member who doesn’t respect me……
Each day I leave something behind so I can fill that space with a new, better thing. Or fill it with nothing at all.
