The Energy Within

The Energy Within

Energy exists in various forms in nature and so does it inside all of us. Happiness, anxiety, excitement, laziness, thrill, worry, fear, relief; these are just a few examples of the different forms of energy within us. They can be classified broadly into the conventional groups of positive energy and negative energy.

We all know how important it is to remain positive in life and hence it is advisable to hold onto the positive energy or to build positive energy inside us. Happiness, excitement, contentment, thrill etc are all positive energies. They inculcate in us this reservoir of confidence about ourselves and our life. They make us humble, understanding and mature. They enable us to make other people happy by helping them, listening to them or sharing a smile with them. Also, being a positive person enables us to be a successful one as well. One can go on and on about the goodness and wonderful effects of positive energy. We have millions of books, articles, talk shows etc to state them. But what about the negative energy within us?  Yes, we do have endless books and talk shows stating their demerits and how important it is to get rid of them and how to do so and all that. But it is always easier said than done, right?

So what do we do about this negativity inside us? Allow me to help you. I know how it feels to have these feelings inside you; I have had them to and still do. It’s in our nature. I also know how frustrating it gets when you know that you want to get rid of them, you may even know the way out but somehow they are still there; like a frenzy. We may come across some good book, hear a nice talk show or maybe share our feelings with someone we are comfortable with and for a while we feel good again. For some of us this does the trick. But for most of us the negativity comes back soon. We feel irritated and angry at ourselves, our life and everything around us. We don’t feel like doing anything; it is as though we have no energy within. And it is a terrible state to be in.

Energy as we know has immense power; power that has great possibilities. All one needs to do is to put this energy to right use. The thing about positive energy is that it makes us feel good about everything around us, its keeps our mind calm and hence we are able to make great stories out of it. This however isn't the case with negative energy. It usually ends up clouding our mind with many layers of unwanted thoughts and results in our self-confidence taking a plunge downwards. But like I said energy put in the right direction gives rise to great opportunities and possibilities; so will this negative energy inside you. Anger, vengeance, frustration, failure, betrayal; all these feelings have given this world the history it takes pride in. This happened only because the people who felt them put those forms of negative energy in the right direction. Believe me if you figure this out for yourself, you will begin to feel so much better. Everything around you will seem nicer and life will become merrier. Make a list of all the things that you love doing or have always wanted to do and whenever you begin to feel that negative energy burning inside you, start doing one of the things on your list. Engage that energy inside you to do things that make you feel good. I have done this for myself and have felt the change. Try doing this and I am sure you will feel the change too.

You all must remember the rule about energy: energy can never be created or destroyed; it only changes its form of existence. This is exactly what you will see happening to yourself. Your restlessness will soon turn into calmness and frustration into inner peace. Things that earlier seemed impossible, will now finally begin to happen for you. The ripples of negativity that tore you apart will now change into winds of calmness that will soothe you. Just be a little more patient and hold on to your faith a little while longer, you will soon see the magic of energy within.
