Life and Such

everything is energy

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the phrase “everything is energy.”

But that would mean that everything we want already exists? Maybe not in the form we imagine, but in some kind of energetic or vibrational state. That’s what people say, right? That the universe is just waiting for you to tune into the frequency of what you want. Like a radio station, you don’t invent the music, you just have to tune in.

But if everything is energy, then nothing is impossible.

I’ve read before that the universe isn’t on a budget. You can ask for as much as you want, desire as deeply as you can, and there’s no limit, no cap, no “you’ve reached your quota for the year.” Which sounds magical in theory. But I think where we often get it wrong is assuming that asking is enough. That wanting hard enough will bring it home.

It doesn’t work like that.

You can ask for water from the kitchen all day long, but eventually, you’re going to have to get up and go get it. The asking is important, it’s the awareness that you’re thirsty. But it won’t quench anything unless you move. Manifestation, in that way, is less about magic and more about movement.

It’s one thing to pray for it. Another to prepare yourself for it. And a whole other thing to show up and work for it like you already believe it’s coming. That’s where most of us get stuck: in the space between hoping and doing.

When I think about manifesting something now, I know it’s not just about being positive. It’s about being progressive. You can think good thoughts all day long and still end up nowhere if you’re not backing it up with direction.

I’ve always heard the phrase “think outside the box,” as if that’s some universal key to success. But what if you’ve never even seen outside the box? What if you’ve grown up in a room with four invisible walls and you’ve been told that’s just how life is? It’s not just about imagination, it’s about exposure. You can’t dream beyond your limits if you’ve never looked beyond them. You can’t know there’s more unless you’ve felt even the slightest breeze from outside your bubble.

So maybe growth doesn’t start with thinking outside the box. Maybe it starts with simply looking. Looking outside your patterns. Your fears. Your comfort zone. Being willing to ask, “Is there more than this?” Not because you’re ungrateful for what you have, but because you know you’re capable of more.

That takes courage. Quiet courage. The kind that doesn’t shout or post motivational quotes every day but still keeps showing up to try again.

Sometimes, I think we misunderstand energy as this loud, unstoppable force. Like we need to feel pumped or wildly inspired every second. But that’s not always what energy looks like. Sometimes, energy is slow. Gentle. Consistent. Sometimes it’s choosing to go for a walk when your mind feels heavy. Sometimes it’s choosing to rest when your body asks you to. Sometimes it’s choosing not to spiral even when every part of you wants to.

Energy isn’t something we wait to feel, it’s something we tap into. Something we generate. We don’t always get to control how fast things come to us, but we can control how we show up in the waiting.

You can want the thing. You can dream about it, pray about it, write letters to the universe and sticky notes to yourself. But at the end of the day, desire without effort is just a fantasy. And effort without direction is just exhaustion.

The goal is to align both.

I’m still learning. Still reminding myself that energy isn’t always a spark. Sometimes it’s just staying consistent. Sometimes it’s showing up. Sometimes it’s being kind without expecting a return. Sometimes it’s trusting that the thing you’re asking for is already looking for you, too.

So yes, maybe everything is energy.

But the energy that changes things? It’s not just belief. It’s belief in motion.

And sometimes it looks exactly like you… walking toward the kitchen.

Don’t give up on your dreams, and keep working towards them, the reward is on it’s way!

Lots of love, Aashi <3
