Energy Wasters

Often times we waste energy on issues or tasks that are not productive and consume our ability to move forward with our purpose. What are you wasting energy on?

The A side to the truth is that we focus all of our energy on efforts to prove a useless point that takes us backwards rather than forwards in our true purpose in life.

The last couple of posts I have blogged about the importance of inner-game and self-confidence. The interesting thing is when we stay focused on the B side and on a purposeful life it gives us more validation. Others will actually attract in to your life giving you more "power" sort of speak over yourself. It will reaffirm that you are living a purposeful life. Others will look to you as if you have a secret that you have discovered and they desire to know it.

Each one of us wants and needs validation. If we do not receive validation then we lose our integrity and as Matt Townsend teaches, we become STARVED from a need. What happens when you starve? You die. You may not actually die from the lack of validation, yet you will have an empty life of never feeling like you are enough and you will spend your time looking back at what you have missed out on instead of what you have gained. It is the knowledge through your experiences that take you to a next level.

I read an article written by Steve Pavlina at www.stevepavlina.com, that was the 10 ways on being a man. The number one way to be a man was to be decisive, direct, and focused. This will cause more prosperity in your life and more direction. We as humans have a tendency to look to others for guidance. As New York Times best selling Author of the book "The Game", Neil Strauss, teaches... we already have all of the answers we need inside of us. It is a matter of asking ourselves the direction in which we must go.

The B side to the truth is to decide what you are passionate about, put together a plan or follow a proven model, create personal standards according to your core values, and this will create validation with in you and amongst your peers. You gain more respect and as a by product you will have more followers flowing to you and an abundance of energy. Energy attracts knowledge, money, success, love, fulfillment, and happiness.

Here's what I mean by that. One who has the standard to not drink alcohol even when everyone else around does not will gain more respect by not drinking alcohol at a party or event then one that drink's alcohol even though it is below their own standard. People will notice and validate you more for your integrity to live up to your personal standards.

Create standards and direction in your life and you will become a magnet. When we waste energy, our magnetism is deactivated and we will actually begin to lose what we already have.
