Buy the snowboard, don't buy the snowboard.
Talk to the kid, don't talk to the kid.
It's all one in the same. Neither choice is more dynamic than the other.
The thing that's static is remaining caught up in the process rather than making the decision one way or another, and then moving on. Not letting that thing - a question or hesitation or self-doubt - move your energy into a static state. Because that's where you end up draining yourself.
Thanks for putting the idea in my mind though. I think of energy often, because I do firmly believe that everything revolves around energy. After all, it is the one thing in our universe that can't be created, nor destroyed. It simply changes state. And we keep discovering new states that it can take. How many energetic states are there which we aren't aware of? And how many can we learn to tap into ourselves? That's where the future lies I believe. All our technology is great, but we need to get back to working on us, on the human condition, and how we interface with each other, the world, and in fact the entire universe.
Well-stated.
many, many... :-)
