"That's ridiculous. Nothing I eat at seven in morning is going to carry me through afternoon."

"Is that so, Mr. Nutrition Expert. Remember, you're talking to someone who is intimately familiar with your operating system. Besides, I'm not done yet.

"During morning, you take a couple of relaxation breaks. Maybe for ten or 15 minutes. Read something inspiring but not deep. Or, do a few simple exercises. Almost any meaningful activity that disrupts normal energy drain is useful. Each of these short breaks will reserve an additional half-hour or more of energy for later in day.

"At lunch, eat light but well. Make it an occasion. Spend it with someone. Go for a walk. A half-hour lunch, well taken, can add an extra hour to your afternoon energy reserve."

"And you honestly expect this energy reserve to carry me through my daily down cycle?"

"Absolutely. Not at full power, of course. You'll have to scale down your activities and expectations. But momentum of day will continue. Use this slow period to visit with someone special, read, perform simple chores or even exercise."

"Exercise! We're talking tired here."

"That's an interesting thing about exercise. It requires a small amount of energy to get started. But once you're into it exercise generates its own energy. But that's not really important thing. It's keeping momentum of day going that is wonderfully valuable."

"I think I understand. Sort of like that old physics axiom, ‛A body in motion tends to stay in motion.' "

"That's very good. You do surprise me at times. And when you keep your afternoon active you are much more inclined to do something constructive with your rejuvenated evening."

"Okay...makes sense. Tomorrow I start my new energy reserve program. And what will you be holding in reserve."

"My utter contempt for your habit of ceiling surfing."

Money is power - power is control. In our universe there is an abundance of this. Once we learn to share this money, or power, we’ll manage not to be afraid that someone will be taking something away from us. Then we will have peace. This kind of inner peace, and cycle of life, will move us to higher ground. Until then there will be no peace in ourselves. Example: Take rich ‘powerful’ men. Forget what they can buy, majority of them are NOT happy and they will always feel like there is something missing, or that cannot be bought with money. Why is this? Very simple, until that rich man learns and understands his wealth and is sharing it with his fellow man and not just giving it away for sake of giving it (perhaps as a tax write off) that peace will never be found. It is all about sharing knowledge on how to make it, and to never be afraid that by sharing it they would have anything taken away from them, because there is always an abundance of wealth in universe. The minute they learn this, they will start to find fulfillment in their life. Consider this for a moment!

So what is Free Will in first place?

Free Will is very simple. As human beings, it is one thing that we hold as our ticket in life and that allows us to change direction of our life when we choose to actually use it. Free Will, in my view, is way we perceive our life as well as way we portray ourselves. When we always see ourselves as victims then there is no place for Free Will in our subconscious. When we see ourselves progress, we see that we have a choice to make a difference, and then we are using our Free Will. We might think that we have no opinion or have no choice in matter because this is what our society has dictated to us. Many of these influences came upon us only in order to help control our views, and direct us to what they think might suit them, and not necessarily us.

Some of us do not believe in Free Will. That is alright with me because that is their choice and they have Free Will to do so. I respect this. Believing in Free Will or not, you are still exercising it in your daily life whether you know it or not. Just simply by saying YES or No! How come? Your circumstances and direction in life are dependent on that YES or NO choice that you take and you will live according to that decision. It was your choice wasn’t it?

In human terms as an example, it is like Veto that they have in United Nations, when countries vote on a resolution. Certain countries have veto power to turn down a resolution. Now Free Will is given to us to use anytime we need to take a decision in life. Why? In life we are held responsible for all of our decisions, and should not feel guilty any time we use it. It is given to us from that “Great Energy Force” that created our universe, and space, and that allowed us to come here and experiment our growth and evolution in order to be enlightened and progress.

In end, you can live happily or you can live miserably. Take your life in your own hands and make your own choices! Simplify instead of complicating life.
