How To Harness The Power of Momentum, Part 1
Like everything in life, momentum follows a cycle - it ebbs and flows just like the seasons.
What’s important to remember is that this will never change. Despite being able to master tools on harnessing the power of momentum there will always come a time when you lose that momentum.
It’s just how life works.
After sunshine comes rain. After a boom period comes a downturn. After day comes the night. It’s the way of the world and to ignore or refute this is naive.
The question therefore becomes; "How Can I Overcome Any Downturn In Momentum In The Quickest And Most Effective Way?"
It would be a mistake to think that momentum is just something that occurs all on its own and once attained it can be maintained forever.
Even the scientists agree - momentum will only continue to be maintained if the object that has it is in what the labcoat boffins call "a closed loop" - that is - if nothing whatsoever gets in the way of the object.
But to believe that when you have momentum in life nothing will ever get in your way is naieve. Stuff happens. People happen. Nature happens. Downturns happen. Winters happen.
Stuff that happens (also known as "life") will always try to stop your momentum - the trick is in knowing and accepting this fact then reacting to it in the right way when it occurs.
This process is what I like to call The Momentum Cycle. This is the pattern The Momentum Cycle follows;
Inertia > Mass Action At Speed By You > Momentum > Action By You Or Other Forces > Inertia
It does this all the time, every time. It doesn’t matter who you are where you are. You are subject to the Momentum Cycle. The great thing for you is that now you KNOW this and you can USE IT to your advantage!
Night follows day. Winter follows autumn. Rain follows sunshine.
Don’t argue with it. Don’t fight it. Accept it, deal with it and prosper regardless of it. This is one of the MAJOR KEYS to success in life. Just think about it, what would it be like if the universe rewarded all those who can succeed only when conditions are easy?
If I send you an envelope with $1000 inside could you open it? You could manage to manifest $1000 from that envelope right? ?
But what if I gave you a blank envelope could you create $1000 then? What creative forces, disciplines and powers of momentum could you draw upon to create $1000 from a blank envelope?
DOING THE EASY STUFF IS EASY
It’s the hard stuff that distinguishes successful people and separates the winners from the losers.
The simple act of understanding The Momentum Cycle and where you are on it goes a long way to arming you with what you need to escape the dastardly clutches of inertia.
By studying The Momentum Cycle and recognizing whereabouts you are in the Cycle at any given moment in time you can quickly implement strategies to move you into the most productive area of the Cycle.
What’s crucial to your success is also your understanding of what occurs to move you from one stage of the Cycle to the next.
Some of these trigger-factors are external to you and others come from inside of you. By understanding how the different Momentum Stages are triggered you can more effectively manage your momentum.
