The Best Use of Your Energy

It is really not a melancholic thing not to be good at too many things. In fact, in most cases it’s a blessing if you do the right thing with what you have, even if it’s just one. Sometimes though, it’s about the individual and how ambitious they are. Some people are very determined and are never fulfilled until they are always at something new and achieving one big thing after another. People like these end up developing abilities to do so many things. And in reality, just any one can develop the ability to do anything if they so desire. There’s no need beating yourself if you can’t. For crying out loud, some of the most successful people I know in the world only play football.  And since success is relative, some of the most successful people in the world don’t have as much money as some of the most miserable people out there do.

If you’re like me, you might not be very good at many things, but there’s something you are good at. Put a larger percentage of your time and energy in it, and you’ll discover that the Joy of the little achievements in that area of your passion will galvanize the energy you need to do the complementary things you love, that are not within your strength zone. You must be selective if you will ever be effective.

The challenge for some people is that they confuse activity with productivity. I've seen people who because of a peculiar need in their lives they immerse themselves in their work, and fail to realize they are simply being defensive and leaving in denial with a subjective assumption for productivity. The best use of your energy when there is a need is to find a way to solve it.

The rule of the game is very simple: if you already know your ability, and if you are not very self motivated, the best use of your energy will be to spend time connecting with people whose energy level is very high and are using it correctly in achieving great result. Energy is contagious! Never walk alone, ‘Liverpool Club doesn't’.   

You don’t have all the time in the world to be a jack of every trade and master of none. Trial and error is not a viable option when it comes to harnessing your energy. Leverage is simply the answer for the best use of your energy.

In the first instance, find the things you can do without external motivation, do them consistently and it won’t be long you’ll be doing what looked impossible for so long.

The law of leverage is at work when you use lesser effort to achieve greater output. The best use of your energy will make you do the impossible starting with the possible.
