A short personal video by Adam Markel describing how he maintains high energy by shifting focus from fear/resistance to love and service. He argues low energy (fear, anger, resentment) drains results across business and relationships, and raising energy comes from heart-based actions—serving others, sharing gifts, and reframing pain as credential.

Hi, this is Adam Markell, and I am standing out in my backyard looking at these just. Well, I can see it. I can see these beautiful flowers right behind me. And I was thinking today, I know it's dangerous, but I was thinking today that people are asking me often just how it is that I can maintain pretty high energy. And I'll say it. There's no great secret to it except the fact that I just don't worry a lot now. I'm kidding. Of course I worry. And I have to remind myself it's constantly the case that I'm focusing or refocusing, focusing my energy where I want it to be, not where I don't want it to be. So, for example, very, very simple. I focus on what I want versus what I don't want. Why is that? Because when I'm focused on what I don't want, I'm really in resistance. Meaning I'm looking at some situation. I'm going, hey, this sucks. I don't want it. And that's a drag. Yeah. I mean, at least in my generation, I grew up, people would say that sometimes say, ah, it's such a drag. You know? What does that really mean? It means it's a drag on your energy. It's a drag on you. It brings you down, man. Don't bring me down. That kind of stuff. Well, here's the thing. We bring ourselves down when we are in resistance, when we're focused on, again, things that we don't care for, when we're in resentment or we're in anger or in any other state other than a state of love. I mean, there's just two states of being, at least from my standpoint. There's a state of fear, and there's a state of love. And when I'm in a state of fear, I know it. My physiology tells me. I can feel it in my stomach. I can feel it in the back of my neck. And I'm sure you guys all feel the same way about that. You know, when you're in fear, you know when you're in anxiety or when you're angry or you're resentful or whatever it is, and that is just nothing but an energy drain. And then what can you do with it? Well, I mean, when your energy's low, your results are low, your energy is low. Your business, your money, your relationships, everything is a reflection of that low energy. And if you want to have more money and you want to have more love and you want to have more connection and more peace, you've literally got to raise your energy because everything in the universe is just made up of energy. So how do you raise your energy? Well, that's the purpose of this little short video and share not so much my secret, but just what works for me. And what works for me is staying focused on love, being in my heart, meaning my heart space, focusing on how can I serve and how can I add value in the world? And I don't always know what that looks like. I just, that's the inspiration for me even just doing this video. Is there some way that you can serve or that you can make someone else's life better and that you can share your gifts? And a lot of times your gifts come out of your pain, right? Because your pain is, as Greg Montana, a friend of mine, says, your pain is your credential. You can use it for that. You take your pain and you teach other people and you, you help other people get through their situations or, or come out the other side or find the meaning in those situations. And that's a huge benefit and it's a huge way to again, raise your energy because you're focused on. On service or you're focused on something that's heart, heart based on love. Love based. The things that we, we hear about oftentimes from, you know, in spiritual teachings and, you know, it's often just harder to apply it in life and in business. And I'm going to say this, it's very easy to apply it if you want to apply it. And there's got to be a good reason often for why you'll do that. And that's why I'm saying it. Because if you'll do that, if you'll stay out of that anxiousness or you'll stay out of resistance, and you'll put yourself into service, for example, even if only in your mindset, you'll keep your energy raised. And even though we all love those energy drinks and I'll drink a cup of coffee, so I won't kid you, I like that, too. The fact is that our greatest energy, our greatest inspiration, our greatest creativity comes from the energy that we can produce from our heart in the form of love, in the form of connection to other people. So I hope this has been helpful. I love you all and I know I'll see you all very soon, but for now, I'll just say ciao.
