Where Energy goes, Life grows

There’s something I’ve learned recently that hit me so hard, I had to share it.

I’ve been noticing just how many distractions are constantly begging for my attention, tiny fires everywhere, trying to convince me they need to be put out right now. 

But here’s the wild part: the more I stare at the flames, the more they grow. When I don’t understand a problem and I keep trying to figure it out from the same place of confusion, it just gets louder, more chaotic, and heavier on my heart.

But when I gently shift my focus, when I stop pouring energy into the confusion, the drama, the “why is this happening?”, that issue almost magically starts to fade. It dissipates. It loses power. Like it was feeding off my attention all along.

I used to think that ignoring problems was irresponsible. But now I’m learning there’s a massive difference between ignoring something and choosing not to energize it.

Energy is sacred. And if I keep handing it over to every little thing that tries to shake me, I’ll never get to build what truly matters.

Now, I’m practicing something new: When something starts pulling at me, demanding my energy, I pause. I ask myself, “Does this actually matter right now? Or is it just noise?” And if it’s just noise, I return to what I do understand, what does fill me, what does bring me peace.

It’s not perfect. I still get pulled in sometimes. But this shift has changed everything for me. I’m not wasting my light on shadows anymore.
