True Momentum Really Makes You Unstoppable
It’s Sunday.
I told myself I wouldn’t do anything today.
I didn’t put an alarm the night before. I “wanted” to sleep in. Take it easy. Relax.
I woke up slightly after my alarm would usually go off. I was in my bed, thinking about what I could do for the day.
Before I knew it, I was already out of bed.
And I thought to myself: “Hey man! Yeah you! I thought you said you would take it easy and sleep in?”.
I couldn’t.
Strange isn’t it?
Ever since I built this momentum I have, it’s very hard to stop.
Most people struggle to get out of bed to do things they set out to do. Yet here I am out of bed on a Sunday morning way before anyone else is up.
What’s hard for me now is to NOT do things that work towards my goals.
That momentum I built over the last few weeks really made me unstoppable.
- There’s NO way I’m skipping the gym;
- There’s NO way I’m skipping writing;
- There’s NO way I’m skipping progress on my game;
- There’s NO way I’m skipping mediation;
- etc.
Want motivation? Want to achieve your crazy goals?
Build that momentum up!
Be consistent in working towards your goals.
Don’t skip. Do. Even when you don’t want to.
It doesn’t take that long to build momentum. Do consistently for two weeks straight. Checkmark your calendar every time you do. Track everything. Quantify everything. Qualify everything. Be obsessed.
Conclusion
Every small gain builds your momentum.
When you quantify or qualify everything, you WILL find gains or progress. ALWAYS. Series of small wins become big wins. Big wins build momentum. Momentum makes you unstoppable!
You can do this!
