Secrets of being a successful person are hidden within you; you have only to explore them and act accordingly.

Fill Life With Frisky Feelings

Does it happen to you? Suddenly, for no obvious reason, you sink in the blues; lose your zest and vim. You have no spark left which means no spirit to live life to the full.

This happens despite the fact you know it that the human body has limitless store of energy. This keeps renewing automatically. Like after six hours of sound sleep.

This means that the more you use, the more you have and that you should be able to work for long hours without physical or mental fatigue.

Dr Donald Laird points out: “We use energy in two different ways; in visually seen activities, and partly non-seen activities.”

Body functions like breathing, heat-beating and other automatic functions belong to the former category. Energy is also used, for example, in hard thinking which belongs to the latter class. More energy, however, is consumed in worrying and other frustrating negative feelings.

If you find yourself sappled up or drained out, you should ask yourself the reason. “Why? When energy should be ample what unseen activity is draining me out?”

You are half-alive, struck in a rut, following deadening routine, hating it, but also shrinking away from anything disrupting it.

You go through life, wrapped up in a tiny bundle, wondering why life has become a serial of monotony, nothingness, frustration and void.

Life ok, not we

Life is as interesting as ever. It is you who have ‘decayed’. Many things have happened. You have experienced failure, setbacks and disappointments. You give up. You accept defeat and sink into despair, then, begin to wallow in it, sign of self-pity-the worst of human feelings.

You develop the habit of closing the mind to anything that is new, different or difficult. You never give yourself the chance to try something new. If you wanted to add vim to your life, you have to put life into your living.
