On Momentum and Reaching Your Goals

The roof over your head. The walls that surround you. The phone that rests in your hand. These were the joint efforts of dozens of people all coordinating on a singular task.

It’s amazing what you can do when you give a sub-sector of people a goal and a deadline. The output is even greater when they hold each other accountable.

Having something to drive towards or a mountain to climb can be an amazing and treacherous thing. You can spend a lifetime looking at the peak and wondering how you’re going to reach the top or you can start walking one step at a time.

Over the course of even just a few days, you’ll start to see a massive difference between the human that took action vs. the human stuck in thought. One is exhilarated by the steady momentum and the other is still anxious looking at the peak.

The same is true in modern day life. It’s not enough to say that you want to be wealthy and stare at your bank account. You need to take actionable steps towards building wealth, every day.

Any average human can dream and want. It takes a dedicated human to perform consistently.

The same can be said for most working mechanisms in life. A car on the highway gets more mpg than that same car in the city. This is because the city car has to frequently start and stop. It takes a lot more energy to push a car from 0 to 10 mph on a frequent basis than a car consistently going 70 mph with no stops.

Humans are no different. They either take the weekend as a time to escape and cease momentum or they keep a steady pace throughout the entire week.

Those that stop require a lot more energy on Monday to start and the humans that are still going require no extra energy to keep their momentum.

At the end of life, they’re eons ahead of those humans that constantly cease progress.
