Power of Momentum

“In this world you’re either growing or you’re dying so get in motion and grow.”

Lou Holtz

Have you noticed that the more you succeed, the more you want to succeed?  And if you think about failing, it often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy?  That is because you either are growing or dying, there is no neutral in life.  

Everyone is on the Success Cycle spiraling upward toward their dreams or spiraling downward toward their fears.  Here is how it works:

• Your beliefs determine your potential.
• Your potential determines your actions.
• Your actions determine your results.
• Your results reinforce your beliefs.

On a downward spiral, you see only limited potential, so you take minimal action, which produces meager results, reinforcing your belief – “I know I couldn’t do it.”

On an upward spiral, you believe you can achieve your result, which opens your eyes to potential, which motivates you to take more action, producing greater results, reinforcing your belief – “I knew it was possible.”

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.”

Henry Ford
