As we move through life, there’s one undeniable truth—we change. Our energy shifts, our priorities evolve, and the things that once seemed like the center of the universe suddenly don’t carry the same weight. And you know what? That’s okay.
In this week’s FWACATA Podcast, I talked about energy—how we gain it, how we lose it, and how to make the most of what we’ve got.
Energy Isn’t Infinite—Use It Wisely
Remember when you could stay up all night, wake up the next day, and still power through like a champion? Yeah, that changes. As we age, our energy becomes less of a bottomless pit and more like an old phone battery—it still works, but it doesn’t quite charge to 100% anymore.
And that’s where perspective kicks in. Instead of fighting against time, instead of reminiscing about what used to be, maybe the trick is to make the most of where you are now.
The Secret to Success? Be Happy First.
Too often, people tie happiness to achievement—the job, the money, the status. But if those things don’t bring you peace, what’s the point? The real goal is finding joy in the simple things—a good meal, an hour of creative work, a well-earned nap.
Happiness isn’t in some far-off dream; it’s in the tiny moments—moments you can create for yourself every single day.
Protecting Your Energy & Living on Your Own Terms
Recharge when you need to. Don’t let the world guilt you into thinking rest equals laziness.
Stop chasing empty validation. Create for YOU first, not for approval.
Find your small joys. A cup of coffee, a sketchbook, a favorite snack—sometimes that’s all you need.
Because at the end of the day, life isn’t about how much you accomplish—it’s about whether you enjoyed the ride.
So go outside. Eat something delicious. Laugh at something ridiculous. Make today a day worth remembering.
