SOURCE OF ENERGY

Smoking is a bad habit in my opinion especially when I heard Lilibet also shared the same sentiment. However, a recent discovery made me understand one of the reasons some folks still do it. I started working as an L1 associate at Amazon LCY3 and there I learned the essential use of smoking and its brothers.

The energy that backs a thing is crucial to its success and sustainability, so after my first day, I realized I needed more strength and support than I already have. Whoever designed the idea of having lower-level associates to stand mostly throughout their shift definitely had productivity in mind but forgot the sanity of the workers. However, the pay is enough to buy silence.

Every week I complain to my wife about pains, the reality of not meeting work targets as compared to other people, and many more. Trust me, in the end I often find a way to encourage myself. If the others can do it, then I can too. The only challenge is that I didn’t know our energy sources differ.

Last week a colleague was telling me that he feels like sleeping and that was about 90minutes into the shift. I told him to go grab a drink but he said he already did. Then I asked him if he was on a normal or overtime shift. Yes, he was on overtime but his complaint was different. He felt the drink he took was working again. His answer marked a huge milestone in my discovery.

He takes three monster energy drinks per shift to stay agile and with 4-days normal shift and 2-days optional shift, he takes 18 monster energy drinks per week. Here is Biodun taking just a small cup of coffee once in two days so as not to be heavily dependent trying to match up with folks that take monster. 

Sometimes in the course of discussing with my wife, she asks if I noticed any of my colleagues who are always heavy on perfume smell and I said yes. She cleared my eyes that those are heavy smokers on duty. Smoking keeps them agile. She was right. 

For everyone doing so great or exceptionally well, there is an energy behind it. Energy that is beyond knowing what to do but also having the capacity to do it. Just as someone may have been drugged without his knowledge of it, it is possible to be doing so well in life not necessarily because of your investment in alternative energy. It could have been done on your behalf long ago.

There is light and there is darkness both are energies but one is ultimately inferior to another. There’s an unimaginable amount of energy available in God through Jesus Christ for those who will dare to believe. That Jesus can minister peace into your heart each time you speak to him concerning a thing is something everyone should explore and that he offers rest on every side is priceless.
