Be high energy

Be high energy:

‍

Be high energy.

‍

Energy is real.

‍

You can feel it.

‍

You can sense it.

‍

You can live it.

‍

You can tell when your energy is high.

‍

And when it’s low.

‍

But have you ever reflected on why?

What brings you up?

What brings you down?

What is your baseline?

Are you a low-energy person?

Or a high-energy person?

Here’s what I’ve learned.

‍

Be high energy.

‍

Be active.

‍

Smile.

‍

Laugh.

‍

Be loud.

‍

Be yourself.

‍

Dance.

‍

Sing.

‍

Never ever apologize for being you.

‍

Because those people have learned something.

‍

They have internalized something.

‍

They have understood.

‍

We are all just pawns.

‍

Ants on this planet trying to do the best we can with what we’ve got.

‍

But life doesn’t happen for the passive.

‍

It doesn’t happen for the lazy.

‍

It doesn’t happen for the low-energy people.

‍

Low-energy people are a drag.

‍

They suck.

‍

They’re not worth spending time with.

‍

Unless you are also a low-energy person.

‍

In which case, go for it.

‍

Just know that, over time, if the person next to you is not inspiring you to be a better version of yourself, you will not have a good life.

‍

You will be miserable.

‍

You will be bored.

‍

You will be resentful.

‍

You will watch time pass you by.

‍

Instead, you need more energy.

‍

More high-energy people.

‍

More people around you who go after things.

‍

Who do things just because they can.

‍

Who dance too loud.

‍

Or sing too much.

‍

Or push back on a consensus opinion.

‍

You need people who make shit happen.

Who get shit done.

‍

Who don’t take shit from no one.

‍

You need these people in your life.

‍

And if you don’t have them, find them.

‍

Or become one yourself.

‍

How?

‍

Good question.

‍

I can tell you a few things from my experience.

‍

My friends call me high-energy.

‍

I think I’m normal, but hey.

‍

Other people disagree.

‍

Here’s why people think I am.

‍

I’m loud.

‍

I laugh a lot.

‍

I smile.

I hum.

‍

I dance.

‍

I take up space.

‍

I initiate.

‍

I take action.

‍

I plan.

‍

I organize.

‍

I get stuff done.

‍

I’m constantly on the go.

‍

I move.

‍

I’m always learning something new.

‍

I’m always thinking.

‍

How do I be better?

How do I be the best version of myself I can be?

‍

Then I go.

‍

I execute.

I do.

‍

I don’t wait for permission.

‍

I don’t wait for validation.

‍

I don’t wait for someone to tell me what to do.

‍

I just do.

‍

But also, I have fun.

‍

I aim for fun.

‍

I figure out ways to have more fun.

‍

Even if it’s small things for myself.

‍

Small games.

‍

Watching lots of sports.

‍

Drinking one extra drink.

‍

Staying a little bit longer at the party.

‍

Writing this.

‍

I find ways to enjoy.

‍

Ways to maximize my life.

‍

Ways to challenge myself to see.

‍

Is what I’m doing fun?

‍

Is running a marathon fun?

‍

Is training for an Ironman fun?

‍

Is climbing Kilimanjaro fun?

Sometimes it is.

‍

Sometimes it isn’t.

‍

But I’ve definitely had fun along the way.

‍

Definitely had moments of absolute awe, wondering how the hell did I get here.

‍

And that is fun in its own way.

‍

Seeing how much one human being can do in one lifetime.

‍

That is my goal.

‍

That is my dream.

‍

That is my fun.

‍

Doing as much as possible while having as much fun along the way.

‍

Working hard.

‍

Playing harder.

‍

Life is not meant to be boring.

‍

It’s not meant to be sad.

‍

It’s not meant to be low energy.

‍

It’s meant to be experienced.

‍

It’s meant to be lived.

‍

It’s meant to be fun.

‍

And if you’re not having fun, go be around high-energy people.

‍

They will definitely make your life more fun.

‍

Optimize for fun.

‍

Optimize for good vibes.

‍

Optimize for energy.

‍

Be high energy.
