Inertia in Life

Inertia, in physics, is the resistance an object has to change its state of motion. In life, inertia is simple, keep doing what you've been doing and nothing will change.

In Physics, inertia can be effected by force, speed, mass, and therefore leading to momentum. Okay lets make it simple- you want something in life - something big....like....money, happiness, love, family, a big house, a expensive car, etc. But,in the current the direction your life is headed, you don't think you will obtain this. So what do you do? You need to change the course of your inertia, but a powerful impact that will create momentum in your life, and alter your life's trajectory. What can do this? Marriage, a relationship, moving far away, changing jobs, changing businesses, changing the way you think, a spiritual experience, an emotional experience, allowing yourself to be influenced, and .....taking wild spontaneous action!

So, my business recently slowed down drastically (housing crisis.) I just found a completely new business importing stuff from China, with a partner (my former landlord.) If I did nothing while business slowed down (inertia) I would be like every other real estate broker in the US. But I need a different source of income (change in trajectory) and I need it now (step on the velocity) and now I'm excited and feeling optimistic (momentum.)My High school physics teacher would be proud.

Its that simple. Our lives are life a giant rock floating slowly in space. If we don't apply a great deal of energy, we will drift endlessly in a direction we did not plan for. Its so easy to be poor and unfulfilled. Its takes courage, energy, and action to be wealthy and happy. Muster it up. And leave the inertia to the physics books.
