Newtons's Laws of Motion ...and Life

Just crossed my mind...

According to Newton's first law...

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force.  An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.  This law is often called "the law of inertia".

In life-

Most people are afraid of change.  They will keep on doing what they have been doing unless something different, something mind-blowing, or sometimes something life-threatening happens to them.  People will stay in their comfort zones unless pushed by some people or circumstances which if they allow will leave them unhappy, unfulfilled, regretful, and miserable...or so they think because there is within us the fear of the unknown..

According to Newton's second law...

Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass.  The greater the mass, the greater the amount of force needed.

Everyone knows that heavier objects need greater force to move.  So our actions in life are dependent on our moving force.  There is always a reason why we do the things we do.  Or why we don't do the things we should be doing.  And what drives us out of our comfort zones is our biggest why - our moving force.  So think of what motivates you to do something out of the ordinary.  Once out of your comfort zone, there's no telling what you can accomplish.  Remember, extraordinary effort brings out extraordinary results!

According to Newton's third law...

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

It means that when you use force to push an object,  there is an equal force pushing it back.  This does not mean to discourage you to think that whatever you do will be met by resistance.  I would put it to mean that the resistant force is there to balance things out - an equalizer.  The weight of your dreams equals the hard work you need to put in to realize them.  The greater the dream, the harder or smarter you need to work for them to come to fruition.

There are things we have learned in school that got buried deep in the farthest recesses of our brains because we thought we'd never use them anymore as we advance in our lives.  We thought we don't have much need for these school stuff taught in our younger years.  We didn't know there are nuggets of wisdom we can apply to our lives and make us think things over.  If we could only refresh our memories, untangle our brain webs, who knows what life truths we would find in say, algebra?

 

 

 

I need a lift

A male colleague who drives me to and from work everyday is having some issues.  He finds that at this point in his life that he should be in a better place, with regards to his work and his finances.  Reality is, he's way down under.

 

And depression sets in, he says, as he thinks about these. 

 

He voiced out these things to me during the ride.  I just sat there and listened to him speak of his frustrations on life, on his self as a provider, on his career which has become stagnant for a number of years now...

 

There was nothing I could say that might lift up his spirit.  There was nothing I could say to boost his morale.  Because I felt he was saying things I could not verbalize to myself.  What he said were the exact same things I am experiencing.  How can you lift someone else when you yourself are heavily burdened?  I just sat there and listened.  I guess that was just what he needed.

 

But the good thing is, he sees hope, he is aware that he needs to do something and not just sit around and wait for things to happen.  He saw an opportunity which he knows will carry him through his crisis.  He knows he needs to do something.  He has many reasons to fight and win his battles.

 

It's good that the monologue ended on a positive note before I got off the car.  There's still some positivity left in that man.  And without him knowing it, he lifted my spirits up.

Still on Positive Thoughts

I did not finish my Positive Thoughts Challenge.

 

I have only gone up to day Two, when it's supposed to be up to seven days.

 

Well, all the positivity I can think of and share with everyone else I have already compressed in two days.

 

Aside from the fact that the people I nominated (I think) never took on the challenge, I ran out of people to nominate!

 

But more than anyone else, the posts I created are for me - to keep me afloat, to keep my hopes up, to hold on and never give up on my goals.

 

I still have a lot to do, still have a long way to go.  So thinking of these positive thoughts give me the strength and the will to stay focused and overcome my fears.  Yes, I still have some.

 

In my business, it's very important that I keep my positivity because there are lots of rejections, negativities and indifferences encountered.  So I always think of reasons to be happy and smile about.

 

And that's the key.  Fill your mind with happy thoughts and withdraw some when you need some.

Something borrowed

Been to the first anniversary of my networking company in Dubai.  It was a formal affair so naturally, we were in gowns.

 

Fortunately, I have friends from whom I can borrow stuff because I decided to come at the last minute.  And how I love that slit!

 

 

 

Day 2 Positive Thoughts Challenge

 



CHOOSE

 

Our life is made up of choices.  From what time we want to get up in the morning, what food to eat for breakfast, and even what mood to wear throughout the day. So choose what type of day you want to have.  The choice is all yours. 

 

Choose to be happy.

 

DECIDE

 

When you decide on something, stick to it.  Especially when it comes to your choice of being happy.  There's no perfect day.  Just be happy with it's imperfections.

 

STAY

 

Stay happy.  Stress will just make you ugly. 

 

 

My Fave TV Series

I don't know him.  All I know is that he's a detective of Scotland Yard with Dr. Watson as his sidekick.  And the famous line "Elementary my dear Watson!" 

I have never read a comic strip of his adventure (or maybe I have...how come I know that famous line?).  Yeah, maybe I did, maybe it was so long ago I don't remember any storyline at all.

 

Then came a recommendation from my son to watch the series.  It's a modern-day Sherlock making use of today's technology to solve crimes and of course, the forever help and perspective of Dr. Watson. 

 

I got hooked on the first episode so I downloaded the full three seasons and watched an episode a day.  An episode lasts for an hour and a half, much like a movie.  That's why there are only three per season.  I always look forward to getting the day done so I can watch another episode at night in the comfort of my bed.

 

Sad to say, tonight will be my last episode.  I don't know yet when it will be aired again.

 

Guess I'll just have to wait.  Just like how I'm waiting for "The Voice" and "Walking Dead". 

 

 

 

Day 1 Positive Thoughts Challenge

KEEP SMILING!

No matter how you feel, no matter what you are going through, no matter where you are, keep smiling!



You never know who needs it most. You never know what a smile can do.  

So keep wearing that smile and give it away to everyone. :)

KEEP TRYING!

Even when circumstances seem to pull you down, just keep moving forward.  Your true strength will come out when you are tested the most. 

Sabi nga, PUSH mo yan 'teh!

KEEP BELIEVING!

Set your mind on your goal.  Visualize your dream.  Believe that you can make it happen. 

Pray.  Simply believe.
