Escape Velocity

I don't know too much about physics, but David Cowan once said that the gravitational pull on earth is so strong that most of the fuel that spaceships use to get to the moon is used just getting them beyond earth’s gravity. After they leave the earth’s gravity, the scientists rely heavily on lunar gravity to pull the space ship toward the moon.

In her book, The Path, Laurie Beth Jones writes, that similarly, it is ‘escape velocity’ that requires most of the energy needed to pull us away from the bad habits that we have so that we can become the people we want to become, do what we want to do, and live the life we want to live.

She says that we must have a compelling vision that is so powerful that it's very magnetism and gravitational forces will literally pull us toward it.

She also writes that physicists are now aware of subatomic particles that hover in and around everything that exists, and that one characteristic of these particles is that they seem to take on the properties or expectations of the scientists studying them. We are currently and constantly creating the future by what we say and think - whether we know it or not!

That is why the battlefield of our minds is the most important battle that we fight. What we think, we become with action and over time.

Take some time and think about where you will be in 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, and 5 years - if you don't make any changes. If you don't like what you see, what changes do you need to make?

Author Robert Fritz teaches that the moment that we become frustrated or upset with a situation is our ‘Point of Power.’ Use those moments to recognize what you don't want so that you can clearly see and express what you do want.

Get clear about what you want, create a plan for how you want to get there, control your thoughts and words, then work! The mind thinks in pictures, so activities like vision boards and mind maps help, but nothing works like work.
