Fleeting Energy

Fleeting, passing swiftly; vanishing quickly; transient. What a perfect word for energy. Its amazing how quickly we lose that attribute. I guess tonight i have contemplated a lot. It has been a decent day, as a radio host ive heard says, "Better than i deserve". While that may be an unhealthy look at things i think its most likely true of most anyone.

Why i mention fleeting energy today is this........how much energy do we waste on valueless things. I spoke to a close friend the other day about how it seems neither they or i tend to exert a great deal of negative energy towards such things. Today im being more critical of that thought.

Opening up to someone requires energy, as does shutting down and concealing ones personal thoughts or feelings. Question im having trouble figuring out is this; Does that energy spent on concealing have any serious, intelligent, long term benefit? To me it seems no, but then again so many put so much energy towards concealing things.

The new name of this blog is What would you do if you werent afraid because its a great question. There are healthy fears i am glad to admit but much like there is little to truly get upset about, there truly is very little to fear i feel like. What good does it to YOU to fear opening up to someone? Being a open, honest and straight forward person who strives to be impeccable with their word and deed is such a beautiful goal. Its such a shame that all of us at times cant get past the fear of failure, rejection, shame or uncomfortable feelings to get at the treasure of honest joy we might attain.

I know i can improve in this aspect, take a more critical look at my behavior and choices. Hopefully to be a better friend and companion.

So lets attack our fears together, take chance out of the equation to the greatest extent possible. Make our lives what we want them to be and throw unhealthy fear to the wind.

Thoughts anyone?
