It so happened that a young entrepreneur was considering purchasing a profitable business – a pie run – a pie run that was well established with clientele and fittings. During the considerations involved in this transaction, the previous owner, a gentleman of strength of character as well as apparent physical prowess – advised the young entrepreneur that the vehicles associated with the business were sound but in an ageing condition. He further intimated that if given regular maintenance, the vehicles would carry the business along for quite a few years yet. He reiterated these comments by adding a simple philosophy - that if given periods of rest, as well as maintenance - things usually lasted longer. He further advised that at certain locations in the business district, there were hills that demanded specific attention regarding driving habits. As it happened, the entrepreneur purchased the business. Unfortunately - he forgot the words of the previous owner and specifically - he pushed the machinery too hard. One day, after powering up and reaching the top of a particularly steep hill, the truck he was driving suddenly stopped. The truck had made it to the top of the hill - done the hard work - but couldn’t make it down the other side - the easy work. The engine was exhausted! So it is with our own ‘engines.’ We only have so much energy available and when that energy runs out - we stop. At the moment of conception we are imbued with a quality of tissue. This tissue vibrates at a specific rate - peculiar to our genetic make-up. By conserving energy whenever possible we may live out the full quotient of our lives. Conversely, by pushing ourselves to the max, we will ultimately shorten our lifespan. I don’t know of any pill, potion or lotion that ‘gives us more energy.’ We may feel ‘stimulated’ by pursuing an artificial measure but in the long run we all recognize the down side of stimulation. All the best in conserving your energies whenever possible. And please remember that energy is conserved in all areas - Physical, Physiological and Mental.
