Several people have described me recently as “energetic.” I would prefer “catalytic,” since that would mean the energy helped make something happen, rather than dispersed like a downed powerline in a hurricane, snaking and sizzling ineffectually.
However, that I would be described as energetic makes sense to me. As I count down the days until I turn 50 (21 left), I realize I have practiced energy for half a century.
I think hard, feel hard, exercise hard. I eat well, I sleep okay, I nap great.
After fifty years of disciplined, intentional energy training, how would I not be full of ideas, passion, and strength?
One need only ask your students about your catalytic nature! Never doubt your power to "make things happen."
