When someone has positive energy, it’s obvious. Aside from getting a lot of things done in a short amount of time, there is something special about them. There is a glow, an almost cosmic force that appears to be driving them forward. People like this hear wonderful compliments like:
“Everything you touch turns to gold.”
“You’re an angel in my life.”
“I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you.”
These words of praise are spurred by someone who truly understands what they have to give, and then gives it freely. More than likely, these words are also received by someone with a great deal of happiness in their life.
High-energy people have a lot of things in common….
Flow
Recently, one of our clients, Olympic silver medal speed skater John K. Coyle, explained the concept of “flow” which is a phenomena that occurs when your heart’s desire and your thinking align in a special way towards a mission. You’ve probably experienced periods of “flow,” when you are so happily engaged in what you are doing that time flies. You look up at the clock and can’t believe how quickly time has passed. Or, time figuratively sits still because you are so “in the moment. You feel like you don’t need anything else. It’s how he feels when he is practicing his sport, and how he felt when he realized he had won the 5000 meter relay competition at the Lillehammer Winter Olympics.
Positivity
High-energy people are positive. It is what moves them forward and enables them to help and motivate others. When it comes to energy, positivity is like gas in the engine. It helps make things roll for you and other people around you. Giving it away starts someone else’s motor running! I’ve had firsthand experience with this, especially the time I met an Ecuadorian couple who was having trouble with their fear of failure. Since my own experience succeeding as a newcomer in the country was so positive, I was able to bring that positivity to them. The next time we met, I barely recognized them. They looked and acted differently because they had adapted an attitude of gratitude to fuel their passions.
Clarity
As you may know, I recently became a sports airplane pilot, and one thing I will now forever be keenly aware of is the weather. They say that bad pilots go to hell where it is constantly foggy. That’s because you can plan the perfect flight, know that the wind is optimal and that 5,000 feet above, the skies are clear. But if you get to the airport and you see fog on the runway, you are grounded! No take off, no landing.
For some people, negativity is their “fog.” Because they cannot see through it, they stay on the ground going nowhere. A high-energy person, on the other hand, isn’t clouded by the fog of negativity. They see and achieve a straighter, clearer path to their goals because they don’t see the obstacles…just the potential.
Opportunity
Energy is attractive, magnetic. Think about it. If you walk into a room of static displays but in the corner you see one with moving pieces, won’t you consider walking over to it first? People with this perceived energy actually attract opportunities to them, whether it’s the next prospective business deal, friend, or possible mate. Opportunities seem to magically, inexplicably come their way, simply because of the receptivity and positive energy they exude to the world.
Are you a high-energy person? Yes you are. Our energy lies deep within us; we all have it. The key is to release it into the world and let it work for us. Take time to think through your gratitude and positivity. It is undoubtedly, it is proportional to the amount of positive energy you are releasing to the world!
