Of Wealth Motivation And Physics
Thursday, October 9th, 2008
There isn’t a lot I can claim to know about the Laws of Physics, but I can recognize a basic principal of success when I see one. Interestingly enough, there are certain of these basic principles that can be applied to wealth creation, motivation, and personal success.
The Laws Of Inertia
Remember the Law of Inertia? The law that says, “a body in motion stays in motion” and “a body at rest stays at rest”? That until an outside force is applied to said body or object, that state will not change? Let’s think about that for a minute, and see what this law of physics can tell us about building wealth.
Financial Implications of Inertia
Whatever your money is doing now it will continue to do—nothing if that is the case. Your money will stay the same course until you apply a force to move it in a different direction—a wealthier direction. Unless you change the path or state of your money, nothing with it will change and it cannot grow. Your money needs your help!
Personal Implications Of Inertia
On a personal level, inertia relates directly to your level of motivation, action, and hence success. Unless something changes to change the current state and redirect the motion (or lack thereof) you personally will not change. You will not achieve anything different in life.
- If you continue to do nothing you will not build wealth.
- If you continue to procrastinate or stay unmotivated you will not change and take action.
- If you do not change the path you are traveling you will continue on it (because inertia also states that movement remains straight until affected to change).
This also means that once you do apply that ‘external’ force you will remain on the new path unless something else affects its path. So once you are pointed in the right direction, you will continue on that course. All you have to do is deflect those negative catalysts that would turn you wrong.
