Motion In Life
Newtons 3 Laws Of Motion
- The velocity of a body remains constant unless the body is acted upon by an external force.
- The acceleration a of a body is parallel and directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass.
- The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear.
The past 10 months or so of my life have been some best I have ever lived. I am more self aware and happy than I have ever been, am achieving my goals at a rate faster than I ever thought possible, am surrounded by some amazing people whom I admire/challenge me & best of all it shows no sign of slowing down with some of the most exciting things still to come. I have had some free time recently and have put some effort into reflecting on what has made this time in my life great.
Through my reflection, I was able to synthesize four main changes in my thought patterns. I couldn’t help but notice similarities to Newton’s Laws of Motion which I pasted above (Source).
1) Your acceleration is inversely proportional to your mass. Do not weigh yourself down with things in that hamper your goals or happiness (material objects, people, emotions etc.). It is difficult, but in order to achieve your full potential you need to be bold and cut out all anchors that restrict you.
2) Always have something “on the go” and stay in a forward motion. Whether it is academic, professional or personal you should always have something you are working towards or an end goal. Exciting opportunities attract and breed similar opportunities subsequent to their completion. Before you accept or reject an opportunity, think about spin-off benefits and what it may lead to down the road.
3) Work really hard and apply your full force to the RIGHT things. Remember that everyone (barring illness or incapacity) can give the same amount of force and what you have to offer is limited. The only difference between people who do remarkable things and those who are average is the allocation of their time and effort.
4) Every action you take has an opposite reaction (although unlike Newton says, it is not always equal). Something that provides you with small pleasure at the expense of somebody else experiencing a large amount of distress is not worth it to pursue. As well, be conscious of people and situations that do not share this mentality.
