We often think about the speed of our lives.
How much we are hurrying…
How fast we can do that…
How busy we are…
However, we don’t often think about the momentum behind all that motion.
Stop and consider your own.
Do you know in which direction it is taking you?
More importantly, how much effort would you need to change your course?
Where is Your Momentum Taking You?
Momentum is a very powerful force.
One that you cannot ignore.
It is the force that brings successful people to even more success.
And it is also the force that continues a downward spiral into self-destruction.
“Momentum can take you over the top of the hill or into the ditch below.”
The simple truth is that momentum keeps us going.
It can carry you to victory. Or lead to your defeat.
The question is, “Is your momentum taking you in the right direction?”
Towards Success or Failure?
When an object has momentum, it will continue in the direction it is headed.
It is the same with our lives.
“Newton’s 1st Law of Physics states that an object in motion will continue in that motion until acted upon by a force.”
If you are headed in a positive direction with healthy habits, you will tend to stay in that direction.
On the other hand, if you are practicing bad habits, you will continue down that dark path.
The phenomenon of momentum also explains why it is so hard to begin new things.
If you aren’t moving, you don’t have any momentum.
That’s why starting is always the hardest part.
You have to get up and start that goal. Begin that task. And build momentum.
Respect Your Momentum
Your momentum can lift you to success.
Or it can bring you down to ruin.
Ensure sure your momentum is taking you in the direction you want.
If not, you have to take action.
It requires effort to change the course of a body in motion.
After all, Newton proved that many years ago.
Which direction is your momentum taking you?
Momentum is a powerful force. It’s necessary too to think of momentum from a few vantage points. I try to put a lot of thought into managing my momentum in the workday – plowing through as much work as possible. But we can also look at momentum on a weekly basis, monthly basis, yearly basis, etc. Good stuff.
