When my 4-year-old son, Chance, doesn’t want to do something, or doesn’t like something he says, “I don’t love that.” Chance also has a lot of energy, because he is 4, and gets to do a lot of things that he likes to do. What if we all put that kind of energy to work for us with a tremendous amount of love?
Of course, in the real world there are things that we have to do that we don’t want to do. We do them anyway because we are responsible.
If we throw ourselves into something, sometimes we learn to love what we are doing and create more energy because of the success that we are having.
I have always had a fear of public speaking. That is not unusual: Fear of public speaking is number one of the most feared things, even above to death. What is unusual is that I picked public speaking to be my job, and I hope that I don’t ever die in front of the audience.
Most of us don’t think about our fears of public speaking or of death very often, because we don’t speak in public very often, and we don’t have death in front of us that affects us personally everyday. What we do have on our mind everyday is change. Change is our everyday number one fear.
We have fear of loss, which is change, and fear of success, which is change, on our minds all the time.
With these fears our love and energy for life wanes.
Most of us want to do a good job. According to a recent Gallup poll, 75% of Americans are satisfied with their jobs. We go to work to do a good job, and be of service to our employers.
Do we have the energy necessary for our work? This is tied into how much we love what we are doing. Are we having fun? Hey, I have had some really crappy jobs that I had a lot of fun with because I liked the people that I was working with.
I bet you have too. We stay at a job because of the people around us. We excel at jobs because there is love in the air, and we have renewed energy.
Love and energy work together. The more love you have, the more energy you have.
To sustain energy you must have love. Sleep a lot lately? Tired all of the time. Are you missing love in the air?
God knows that I screw up some of the time, because it is our nature to focus straight ahead and not change anything, because we fear it will screw up our lives. Remember, we are afraid of change, and putting love into our life is often a change we are not sure we want to make.
Now you may ask how I can say that you’re afraid to put love in you life.
Are you?
Love can take away the fear, and create energy. Hate will zap you. Indifference will zap you, and doing something halfway will zap you. You want change, but are afraid of change.
You want love, but are afraid of love.
This is a pickle, isn’t it?
This I know for sure, if you put your heart into it, you will love it, and you will have more energy for it.
If you have negativity, you lose your energy, and you will not have it, whatever it is.
Don’t hate your job. Love it for now, and if it’s not right for you then look for one that you will love more. Don’t spend your energy on negativity, because you won’t get anything back.
Love and create more energy in your life. It really is that simple to put the “Tiger in your tank.”
