Being Energy Efficient

IT TAKES LESS energy to be open and keep an open heart regardless of your circumstances as opposed to holding on in a state of emotional closure in order to protect or defend something. There will always be people who don't see you for you, and they're tainted by their own lenses and interpretations for reality that absolutely has nothing to do with you. Just give yourself away in each moment and commit yourself to service and contribution without attachment to what comes from it. Don’t do it because it’s morally right or because you think you should. Do it because of what it brings to your own satisfaction in life. That's a choice in each moment.

Be on your deathbed knowing you gave every ounce of your core that you had to give. I'm truly committed to the idea that people get to experience themselves authentically at the level of Self without thinking about it and are able to share that part of themselves even with those who won't see it in them.

I'm so committed to this idea that we all authentically and intrinsically are able to experience ourselves and express that part of us no matter who we're with, and no matter our circumstances. When we come from fear—looking good, avoiding looking bad, trying to dominate, trying to avoid being dominated, defending, surviving, manipulating—it diminishes our power, our effectiveness, our happiness, our vitality, the amount of authentic love in our lives, and the results we're committed to producing in the world.
