There Is Still Plenty of Life to Live

Lately, it has been hot, so I decided to do something that would make life a little easier. I cooked a bunch of different meals in the crock pot, put them into containers, and froze them. That way, when the weather is hot, I wouldn't have to do much cooking. Then a flyer came in from the local Mexican market. They had pineapples, plantains, mangoes, watermelon, cucumbers—fresh fruits and vegetables at really good prices. They also had beef shanks. So after the gym, I had my caretaker take me to the store. I already had plenty of food at home. I had meals in the freezer, food in the refrigerator, and everything I needed. I wasn't going to the store because I was running out of food. But when I got there, something happened. I felt happy. The store was colorful and full of fresh food. I could choose one of this, two of that, three of something else. I wasn't limited to whatever quantity happened to come in a package. I could actually look at what I wanted and decide what I wa...

Time and Money as Energy: Understanding Their Characteristics and Flow


Time and money are often viewed as separate entities, but when we consider them as forms of energy, we gain a new perspective on how they function, flow, and impact our lives. By understanding their energetic properties, we can make more conscious choices that align with abundance, productivity, and fulfillment.

The Three Characteristics of Time and Money as Energy

1. Conservation: The Principle of Value Retention

In physics, energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another. This principle applies to time and money as well:

  • Time: While time continuously moves forward, how we use it determines the value it creates. We cannot save time, but we can invest it wisely to generate meaningful experiences, knowledge, and success.

  • Money: Money is a representation of value. While its form may change (physical cash to digital currency, for example), the underlying worth is conserved and can be strategically utilized to generate more value.

The key takeaway? Both time and money require mindful investment to maximize their impact. Wasting time or mismanaging money leads to a depletion of potential energy that could otherwise be transformed into growth and abundance.

2. Transformation: Turning Resources into Value

In physics, energy transforms from one state to another—kinetic energy becomes heat, electrical energy becomes light. Time and money also undergo transformations:

  • Time: The hours we spend working, learning, or practicing a skill transform into expertise, financial earnings, or personal fulfillment.

  • Money: Money is not just a static asset; it can be transformed into investments, experiences, or material possessions. When used wisely, it can multiply and generate greater opportunities.

Understanding transformation allows us to direct energy with purpose, ensuring that both time and money work for us instead of being passively spent.

3. Flow: The Constant Movement of Energy

Energy naturally moves from areas of high concentration to low concentration. Similarly, time and money are always in motion:

  • Time: Time continuously flows forward, and we must choose how to navigate its course. Being intentional with time ensures that it is directed toward meaningful pursuits rather than wasted on distractions.

  • Money: Money circulates through economies, businesses, and personal finances. When it is kept stagnant (hoarded without purpose), it loses its potential to create growth. However, when money flows with intention and strategy, it leads to prosperity.

A scarcity mindset can block this flow, causing fear-based hoarding or hesitation. An abundance mindset, however, encourages a healthy cycle of earning, investing, and giving.

Attraction and Speed: The Dynamics of Energy, Time, and Money

Beyond conservation, transformation, and flow, two additional principles shape how time and money behave: attraction and speed.

Attraction: Drawing More of What We Focus On

In physics, forces like gravity and magnetism pull objects toward one another. Similarly, our focus and energy attract experiences and opportunities related to time and money:

  • Time: The way we invest our time attracts corresponding outcomes. If we spend time learning a skill, we attract opportunities that require that skill. If we dedicate time to networking, we attract professional connections.

  • Money: The Law of Attraction suggests that cultivating an abundance mindset can draw more wealth into our lives. However, attraction alone isn’t enough—aligned action is necessary to turn financial potential into tangible results.

Speed: The Rate at Which Energy Moves

In physics, speed measures how quickly something moves over a given distance. Speed also influences the movement of time and money:

  • Time: While time flows at a constant rate, our perception of time changes depending on our level of focus and engagement. When we're fully immersed in meaningful work, time feels accelerated; when we're disengaged, it drags.

  • Money: The velocity of money—the rate at which it circulates in an economy—determines financial growth. On a personal level, how quickly we earn, spend, or invest money affects our financial momentum. Rapid and well-informed financial decisions often lead to greater wealth creation.

Key Takeaways for a Conscious Approach to Time and Money

By viewing time and money as energy, we can shift our mindset and habits to optimize their flow:

  • Invest wisely: Treat both time and money as valuable resources to be allocated with purpose.

  • Embrace transformation: Recognize that both can be turned into meaningful results when used effectively.

  • Encourage flow: Avoid stagnation by ensuring that your time and money are moving in ways that support growth.

  • Leverage attraction: Focus on abundance and take aligned actions to draw opportunities toward you.

  • Understand speed: Use momentum to your advantage by making timely decisions and staying engaged with your goals.

By adopting an energy-based perspective, we become more empowered in managing time and money, allowing them to serve us rather than control us. When we align our thoughts, actions, and resources with intentionality, we unlock the full potential of these powerful forces in our lives.

Six Years Ago, I Survived a Stroke. Eleven Months Ago, Everything Changed Again.

I Almost Forgot My S trokeversary 💔 Please read my story, share this post, and help me get the word out.  Yesterday, August 3rd, marked six years since my stroke. I almost forgot. Not because it isn't important, but because I'm carrying so much pain from the injuries I suffered in my car accident on September 6th, 2025, that my stroke anniversary completely slipped my mind. That first year after my stroke, I honestly thought I was going to die every single day. I was constantly dizzy, scared, and didn't know if life would ever feel normal again. I remember telling myself, If I can just make it through the first year, I'll be okay. I had to learn how to walk, talk, and eat without choking all over again. Then came the second year. The third. Things slowly got easier. Life gradually started feeling normal again. I still have deficits—mostly in my left hand and a little weakness on my left side—for the most part, you couldn't really tell when I walked, or at least tha...

Before You Give Advice, Make Sure You Know the Whole Story

  One of the hardest parts of sharing my recovery online isn't the physical therapy, the setbacks, or even learning to walk again. It's the people who think they know my story after watching three seconds of a video. I recently shared my 10-month recovery update as a new below-knee amputee. The video wasn't asking for gait critiques, medical advice, or strangers to analyze my every step. It was documenting where I am in my journey and celebrating a milestone that took months of pain, determination, surgeries, setbacks, and rehabilitation to reach. I was sharing progress. I was sharing hope. I was sharing what it looks like to start rebuilding a life after a catastrophic accident. But instead of people simply celebrating that milestone, some immediately jumped into telling me what I should be doing differently. "Ditch the crutches." "Take gait lessons." "You're going to fall." Here's the problem. They didn't know my story. They didn...

Sometimes the Setbacks Are a Blessing in Disguise

  Sometimes the Setbacks Are a Blessing in Disguise When you’re rebuilding your life after a life-changing accident, every setback feels like another thing being taken away from you. For me, the last few weeks have been incredibly frustrating. I was finally starting to feel more confident using my prosthetic leg. I was making progress. I was walking more, getting stronger, and beginning to feel like I was getting a piece of my independence back. Then came the blood blisters. My amputated leg developed painful blisters, and suddenly I couldn’t wear my prosthetic. I had no choice but to slow down and give my body time to heal. At first, it felt like another obstacle. Another delay. Another reminder that recovery doesn’t happen on my timeline. But something unexpected happened. My remaining leg and ankle finally seemed to have the time they needed to recover. After my ankle surgery to remove three screws and the plate that had been holding my bone together, I had given it about four w...

Don't Borrow Your Dreams from People Who Never Chased Theirs

Don't Let Someone Else's Limited Thinking Become Your Limitations The reason I wrote this piece is not to rant. I recently lost my photography career after a tragic, catastrophic accident where I lost my leg. Now, once again, I'm being forced to reinvent myself. And that's kind of been the theme of my whole life: reinvention and resilience. I mentioned to some of the people closest to me what I wanted to do next, and boy, did they have opinions of their own. Not only am I still healing ten months after my accident, and my body is still going through trauma, but my brain is also forced to figure out what's next. When I told a couple of people what I wanted to do, they shut me down almost instantly. But then I had to think about their lives. All they've ever done was exchange their time for money. They don't understand me. I'm a creative person. I don't punch in and punch out for a J-O-B. So, I'm guarding my plans closely and only sharing them with...
