Thought of the day
“Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.”
–Sandra Bernhardt, Actress
I have to admit that Sandra Bernhardt and I do not see eye to eye. I guess I don’t get her outspoken personality but this is one quote that I can agree with. Energy does create energy in different ways. Life is richer and deeper when time and energy is spent on someone other than you.
I know I may be getting a little too philosophical for your tastes but I have experienced this quote first hand. Some of the most joyful and rich parts of my lives came from exerting all my energy towards helping others.
I love writing about San Jose, California and all of the things I see around town. When there was talk that the blog might have been taken away from me, my stomach was in knots and I really was not a happy little resident.
See, I don’t see this blog just as information about the city I live in. I also see it as a way of helping residents and visitors enjoy the city to it’s fullest. When I write about the businesses, events, and locations, it’s my hope that San Jose and Bay Area residents will take this information and enjoy life.
Simply because life consisting of just work does not a life make. There is a world of art, theater, sports, food, and crafts out there. All you have to do is go out and enjoy it.
That’s my thought of the actresses quote. What do you think about it? Has the quote created ideas of how you can enrich your life more in San Jose, California and the Bay Area?
