Master the Big Three: Energy, Work, Love

By: Matt Plutko, Director of Wellness & Co-Founder - Revelations Counseling & Wellness

If you want to live an extraordinary life, you must master the Big Three: 

1) Your energy 2) Your work 3) Your love

These three domains shape every thought you have, every choice you make, and every result you create.

The problem?

Most people live in survival mode — reactive, distracted, and burned out. They try to “push through” with no clear plan to strengthen these areas. The result is a life that feels more like maintenance than mastery.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Energy: The Foundation

Your energy is your capacity to show up for life. It’s both physical vitality and mental clarity. Without it, nothing else works.

Physiology controls psychology. 

The way you move, eat, breathe, and rest directly impacts how you think, feel, and perform. When your body is depleted, your mind will follow. When your body is strong and well-fueled, your mind is sharper, calmer, and more resilient.

Mastering your energy isn’t about extreme diets or endless hours in the gym. It’s about consistently making choices that fuel you rather than drain you.

• Move your body daily.

• Fuel it with food that sustains performance and focus.

• Prioritize rest as a skill, not a reward.

  
  

When your energy is strong, your ability to perform in work and relationships multiplies. You think clearer, move faster, and show up better for everyone around you.

Work: Your Contribution

Work isn’t just a job. It’s how you contribute your unique skills, effort, and creativity to the world.

But too often, work becomes a place where we go through the motions — scattered, stressed, and pulled in a hundred directions. Mastering your work means bringing focus, discipline, and purpose to your daily actions.
