What is energy?

When I'm referring to energy, I'm not talking strictly about the physics definition, the capacity to do work.  However, it is related in a very real way.  Remember?  After an interchange with _________, how do you feel about your energy?  As you consider this, you are probably thinking of your motivation, your confidence, your positive feelings about your work or other activities.

Physical energy systems in the human body are depleted as you do the work--the more you do, the more you need rest and fuel to regain your energy.  The energy we're talking about here works on a different kind of economics--one person can give another energy, and in doing so gain more themselves!

As you consider your associates, friends, and family, you might consider the question of whether they are energizers, not by simply thinking of them, but thinking of how you and others respond after interactions with them.
