Positive momentum

Even if you're not sure exactly what you'll do next, go ahead and do what you can do first. The way to establish positive momentum is to get started, and to proceed with determination and commitment.

When you're in motion, momentum is a powerful positive force that can keep you moving forward. But if you're doing nothing, the momentum of idleness will work against you and hold you back.

So by all means, using whatever it takes, get yourself going. Even a little bit of effort and forward progress can begin to change momentum in your favor.

Set a small goal and do the work to reach that goal. Then move immediately on to bigger things.

The process of achievement feels good, even though it may be difficult and challenging. Get yourself enjoying and looking forward to that good feeling of making a difference, and put the momentum of achievement on your side.

There is something good and meaningful you can achieve right now, once you choose to make it happen. Get going, get busy making a difference, and get the power of positive momentum pushing you forward.
