And it makes them better.

They suck the life right out of you.

They drain you.

I shared that term in the energy bus in 2007, popularized it.

I'm not sure I came up with it.

I don't know where it came from.

Even the Bee Gees song, by the way, Jive Talking, talks about those who drain your energy, which is funny.

I was listening to that song the other day.

So that came out way before the energy bus.

So there are people who steal your energy.

And...

They do it with their own misery.

They do it with their own sob story.

They do it with their just black hole energy that just drains you.

And so you just gotta be wary of them and you can't let them drain your energy.

Your positivity has to be greater than their negativity.

And especially on teams, as you know this from the military, from protective forces, whether it's police or fire.

It's about making sure that we are a team that works together.

And one person can't make a team, but one person can break a team.

So that one energy vampire on your team could sabotage it.
