Momentum takes hold

Momentum is built with action. Persist until you have it, then persist until it’s done its work.

When you begin, your progress is not likely to be steady. Yet as you keep going your effectiveness increases.

What’s important is to take action, and to keep that action going. Even when it doesn’t seem to accomplish anything, it’s getting you to the point where accomplishment sets in.

Put energy into the effort and you’ll generate more energy. Plow that increased energy back into the effort and positive momentum begins to take hold.

Once momentum is established, make the most of it. Feed it with more action, with focus, with commitment, with purpose.

Make sure you’re clear about the objective. Then get going, and keep going as momentum takes you there.
