“Stop spending your energy on thoughts you don't want and things you don't need. Spend your energy on the thoughts, people, things and dreams you do want. You only have so much energy in the day; spend it wisely.”

Meaning

This is about attention as a limited resource, and about choosing what deserves it. The advice can be taken to mean that thoughts, relationships, and goals all compete for the same inner fuel, so discernment matters. It lands when someone feels drained by worry or scattered commitments and needs to focus on what they actually want to grow.
