Motivational Minute: Thoughts Into Action

 

Sir Isaac Newton had three laws of motion and the first law essentially said that every object will remain at rest until acted upon by an outside force.

Things don’t change by themselves.

This is an important concept to remember today.

It’s not about what we want to do today. It’s not about our intentions. Yes, those are important, but many good intentions fall flat because they’re never acted upon.

Newton’s laws of motion and, science for that matter don’t really care about our feelings, emotions, or intentions. It matters what we do.

Will our actions match our desires today? Will our behaviors align with our intentions?

Yes … change, progress, and improvement begin with a thought. Pretty much everything begins with a thought, but I have thoughts all the time.

Some get acted upon and some don’t. The thoughts that aren’t acted upon fall by the wayside or stay at rest.

The thoughts that move forward and become reality are the ones that I intentionally make happen. I create the motion.

I create momentum.

I make it a reality.

Let’s remember Sir Isaac Newton today when we’re thinking about what we want to accomplish and put those thoughts into action.
