Does focus, drive, planning or anything else speed up our destinies? No, it makes no difference. We struggle against ourselves until we give ourselves permission to take the next step. No other person can speed up or slow down the experience. What is far more important than the end result is the experience itself. Yet we focus so much on the end result that we miss the nuances of the experience.

Following the call of your heart and your inner voice initially takes courage, but once you do it, there is no stopping you. Good stress is not having enough hours in the day to do what you love doing. Bad stress is not having enough hours in the day to comply with the demands of another person's life calling. When you follow your heart, you live an authentic life.

Energy-takers are not easy to be around because they drain our energy. Energy-creators either contribute to the world and inspire us, or give their energy away without being aware of it.
