Put on your thinking caps. It’s time for Physics 101.

In simple terms; Energy is defined as the ability to do work. And work is said to be done when the point of application of a force moves in the direction of the force. What the definition of work implies is that you can spend the whole day pushing against a concrete wall, and make no mistake, you are burning energy, even sweating but the net result is the wall hasn’t moved an inch! And that is why losing is never pleasant for anyone. You expended energy but did not recoup it through the realization of a goal and the accompanying satisfaction. It feels like you have wasted energy.

At one point in life we have met or become three kinds of persons; the negative person, the positive person or the neutral person. Negative and positive people are easy to identify because within a minute of meeting them you will feel their energy. Nuetral people on the other hand are strange because you can’t figure them out, sometimes until late in the game.

I am not going to dwell on the dangers of being a negative person or hanging out with one. Suffice it to say negative energy is destructive, is anti-achievement and always ends up in failure. Usually it can be traced to an experience that was not handled well, and has since become a poisoned oasis for others. We need to watch out that we do not become this person no matter how hurt or disappointed we are. Negative people are unattractive.

On the other hand I can’t think of anyone who does not love a person carrying positive energy.We love people with positive energy because they tell us that we can do it. They motivate us and encourage us to reach higher. When we speak to them, we feel we can do anything. I have friends that I always tell that they are healthy for my ego because every time I speak to them, I always feel like the most success- bound person in the world. When you carry positive energy, you are driven to accomplish. You want to expend that energy and see work done, so you won’t waste your energy on activities that do not bring a tangible return. How many times have you been so busy in a day and at the end of it, sit down and ask yourself what you have actually accomplished and can’t find it? Oh yes, you were sitting in a rocking chair; demonstrating lots of kinetic energy but in reality not going anywhere!

But to carry positive energy, you first need to generate it. And I do not know a better way to generate this energy except by having a hunger for life in general and more importantly for something specific. It has been scientifically proven that people who have lost hope in life or something dearly loved and have given up on life, die sooner than otherwise. This is because the body also begins to shut down, faculties that would normally generate huge amounts of energy shut down and instead of being alive the person begins to exist. The body was not created to be idle but active and when it becomes idle, we won’t get far in life.
