I was listening to an Earl Nightingale lecture when he brought up an interesting law of motion from Sir Isaac Newton. It states:
“A body in motion tends to remain in motion until acted upon by an outside force”
The first thought I had was that anything outside of me cannot stop my motion unless I let it. Simple
You Are What You Think About
This phrase has been echoing in my head the past 48 hours and has been stated by many philosophers as well as master teachers. They all point to a faculty within our minds that engineers our whole life.
Not to say Sir Isaac was wrong… but I believe certain laws can limit someone depending on the context and how they think.
So we will encourage a new way of thinking.. a law of inner motion for every law that could be potentially limiting.
What Is Inner Motion?
Think about how many times something little has thrown you off or stopped your progress. In life, we often get hit with a lot of obstacles, distractions, noise, and other variables that can slow us down, make us give up, or have us look back.
Inner motion is the burning desire you have within to keep going no matter what is thrown your way.
It’s the wheels within wheels that’s always spinning,
The Laws of Inner Motion came to mind because everything is in constant movement even when things seem still. We can’t 100% prevent anything external getting in our trajectory but what we can do is set our minds and intention on staying in motion even when things do.
-If something bad happens are you going to let it get in the way of your growth?
-If something happens are you going to let it control you?
-If something gets in your way are you going to let it stop you?
I’m not. So for this law of inner motion we will defy natural resistance by choosing to remain in motion no matter what…
Perpetual Motion
The word perpetual means “everlasting, unceasing, continuing forever in future time.”
I think we all can agree that our minds are always running. Even when we are still. So if we can use our mind as the engine we need to keep ourselves going even when outside factors get in the way then we can obtain a state of perpetual motion.
Since we are what we think about, what we choose to think about most will become our reality.
The greatest amongst us have been able to overcome and keep going despite the obstacles. The tunnel isn’t a straight path.
Remind yourself that outside forces cannot and will not stop your trajectory!
