Momentum of Life

We live in a highly competitive world, and there's something off about being hyper-productive and getting ahead of others in life for no apparent reason.

Some people might not agree with this, but I'm okay with that.

This is not what we are destined to do.

What about realizing your own potential and creating something good for the folks around you?

Then, momentum slowly builds up, and you automatically feel like you are destined to do much more than that.

Sharing my reflections on this topic as I try and put different pieces together, I realized it’s a complicated subject.

I want to talk about the invisible forces that are trying to control our lives.

They can be both constructive and destructive in their own way.

Start looking at things through the lens of momentum. It gives so much clarity about things you might not have considered before.

Actions = Taking small steps = Immediate small benefits = Compounding effect = Desired results.

Don’t overthink it or half-ass it just because it’s invisible.

Take simple and small steps, and then momentum will take over, becoming a part of the system.

This momentum fuels sustained effort, ultimately leading to accomplishment.

I am not saying being highly competitive is bad. It’s just that so many forces are at play, and we often don't realize the potential of being true to ourselves and carrying momentum along the way.

The pendulum's rhythmic swing serves as a powerful metaphor for the concept of momentum.
