★Where does this energy come from?
- ★Some would say that it comes from the cosmic energy that pervades the universe and is an essential element of all matter.
- ★Those who are spiritually inclined might say that the gift of life and the energy that sustains it ultimately come from a Higher Power/God
- ★On a more immediate level, however, we can say that your life energy comes from solid foods, liquids, and the air you breathe, as well as from the sun and from the extremely fine atmospheric cosmic energy that continually surrounds us.

★How might our world change if more people started making greater use of the gifts of gratitude and blessing?
- * ★Through the intelligent use of willpower, we can draw more extensively on the energy reserves within us and around us. In all these ways, immense amounts of energy pour into your brain and heart and all the tissues of your body.
- ★In addition to nourishing the cells and atoms of your physical body, the stream of incoming energy is employed each time you think, speak, or act.
- ★As you use energy in these ways, you inevitably put your personal stamp on it-in either a positive or negative way-and send it back into the world where it plays a small but important role in either uplifting or burdening all of us.

- ★Like a boomerang, the energy you send out (positive or negative) tends to draw to it more of its kind and then return to you. The same is true for each one of us, and our almost constant decisions to use energy in positive or negative ways dramatically affect our individual and collective well-being.

- ★When we use energy positively in kindness, creativity, laughter, or self-discipline, for example, we benefit physically, mentally, and spiritually. When we use energy negatively in fear, anger, or striking out at one another, we reap tension and pain.
