While in Montreal this past week I read an article about mice whose energy level has been increased by 40%.

Think of the energy you are expending by tolerating things that might not take much time to complete. I recall a slippery rug in the hallway that annoyed me for several years. Once I decided to take care of it by buying a non slip carpet gripper I no longer had to think about it. There have been so many other things that have likewise drained my energy. By taking care of things that bother us we have more energy in order to pursue the things that really matter to us.
