More on Energy

Ofcourse, there is a lot of other things that are non-scientific that give me energy – to name a few: being up and out in the woods so early the birds are just bursting into full song, smelling the rain after a thunderstorm, seeing hills and mountains at my horizon, petting my pet, great friends and positive people, achieving something I thought beyond me, that first sip of espresso in the morning, the power of words, as I read them or writing my blog… and ofcourse simply being with those I love.
What are yours?

Dear Marion,
Excellent list. You made me smile.
I would add adventure, as in “doing things that could possible go terribly wrong”. I love to speak in public without being totally prepared. The possibility of having a total blackout is actually quite an energy booster.
Oh, and climbing a steep hill with my racebike.
And that one party with the right people and the right music where you let rationality take a little nap and you totally go for the transcendental experience of becoming one with the beat.
On an intellectual level, I would pick that moment of insight that arises from matching conceptual frameworks with a customer challenge. Suddenly an interesting and workable insight arises upon which a marketing strategy could be build. That process of matching and the emerging of that moment of insight… priceless.
And finallly that strange exciting great vibe that very once in a while arises between people, where the unsaid is constantly being said in an unspoken kind of way.

Your comments are great Tom, thanks. I do agree that adventure can be a great energiser – the slightly unexpected, irrational, and sometimes even insane can be exhilarating. Looking for these, rather then avoiding them, can make you feel alive in every fibre of your being.
