You move first.

You create momentum.

That is who you are.

And I want you to think about not just energy, but clean energy.

you've already noticed that certain things give you, an illusion of feeling prepared, an illusion of vitality, of intensity, but they don't actually make you ready, they're synthetic, and underneath that, somewhere deep down you already know this to be true, the first coffee, maybe it's an anchor,

maybe just aligns with getting the day started the second one now it's back to being a handicap the illusion of focus concentration some people think of too much caffeine as being anxiety in a cup your body already knows the difference one cup is enough

You don't need stimulation.

Action gives you your energy.

Enthusiasm, as you know from New York, that is your generator.

When you say the words and do the things with enthusiasm, your body digs deep and gives you the resources to be true to that enthusiasm.

You operate from clean energy, and if any impulses arise, that reflex towards an extra cup, a notification on a phone calling you, the sirens on the rocks calling towards the easy comfort.

You notice it, but you just notice it.

A slight pause,

And in that pause, a simple question arrives.

Is this a head start?

Or is this a handicap?

And then when you choose, water, movement, to say let's go, to do something clean.

And you don't need to do it because you're forcing yourself.

because you want the head start, you want to protect the edge.

You naturally choose what strengthens you.
