How to Become a High Energy Person

Have you ever noticed that the people with the highest energy are always the winners in life. It doesn’t matter whether it’s winning friends or winning baseball games, the person with the highest energy always wins.

In sports, who wins? The player with the highest energy. Just think of Michael Jordan. He put it all out on the court EVERY time he played. He played every game like it was his last.

Who wins in public speaking? Those with the highest energy; those who can really fire up a crowd. If you’ve ever been to an Anthony Robbins seminar, then you’ve seen this principle in action.

Who wins in relationships? Those with the highest energy. Think about it. Are you really going to be attracted to someone who mopes around all the time? I don’t think so. However, I’m sure you would be attracted to a high-energy person who loves life and is fun and energized.

The people with the highest ENERGY are the one’s that get noticed. If you want to win in this game of life, you MUST become a high-energy person.

The other day I got a phone call from a lady who is extremely high-energy. When I answered the phone her voice was instantly full of energy and excitement. Naturally, that energy transferred to me. Instantly, I found myself with a smile on my face and good cheer in my voice.

Try this out yourself. Answer the phone with a smile on your face. Call someone with excitement in your voice. I guarantee it will make a difference.

In the book, The Emotional Energy Factor, Mira Kirshenbaum says, “The single biggest difference between people who get what they want and people who don’t is energy.”

One of the most underused secrets of success is ENERGY. Enthusiasm is a state of mind that instantly attracts others to you. It’s also contagious, and effects all with whom it comes in contact.

Think about it. The greatest leaders in history have been those who knew how to inspire enthusiasm in their followers. The same is true of leaders today.

Why should someone believe in you as a person if you don’t sound like YOU even believe in yourself? Why should someone believe in the product you are selling, if it doesn’t sound like you believe in the product?

The key is energy and enthusiasm. Words become a dull murmur when they’re not backed by a burning enthusiasm.

If your words are backed by a burning enthusiasm, you are bound to influence those with whom you come in contact, more or less toward your way of thinking.

Mix enthusiasm with your work and the day will start to fly by. Mix enthusiasm with your relationships and watch your number of friends grow. Mix enthusiasm into your job and watch as the boss begins to notice you above everyone else. Mix enthusiasm into your workouts and watch your body transform.

By mixing enthusiasm into all areas of your life, you will begin to achieve the highest levels of success in all of your endeavors.
