"When any one of us is aligned with our purpose,
there is an inexhaustible source of energy. Once
you're aligned with your purpose, the energy is
always there to do whatever you need. You never
get tired and you do everything with a sense of joy.
It's actually effortless – it's a flow."
~  Dennis Kucinich

"The higher your energy level, the more efficient
your body. The more efficient your body,
the better you feel and the more you will use
your talent to produce outstanding results."
