Fred Shadian Guest Blog Entry on CREATING MOMENTUM
Momentum is a form of movement that is created just like the ocean wave. You cannot force momentum. What you can do is become part of the flow of momentum and be caught by the wave and ride it to create the momentum that you desire in any aspect of your life. The key to creating momentum, in reality, is to recognize the extraordinary movement in your life or in your organization and take small steps every single day towards your desired outcome. Determine where you are at and where you are going and stay focused using your time and talent until you feel totally congruent with your desire.
My favourite martial arts instructor, Sensei David Harris would always share with me the importance of daily activities toward a common goal. If for any reason you feel that you are in a plateau, you can continue your level of progression by reading a book on the subject that you are pursuing, you can watch a video on the related subject, you can read a book or magazine, you can attend a seminar or you can even mentally rehearse your desired outcome for your success.
What is most important is to do something regardless of how small or how large. By taking action daily you create the motion towards your desired achievement. Another step to consider is to stay focused on the end result and be realistic with your approach by taking a step-by-step progression that leads you to your ultimate goal. There is a Hawaiian saying: “When the surf is high, go surfing and when the water is calm, wax your board.” Timing is of the essence when riding the wave of momentum. If you hop on too early, you might crash. If you hop on too late, you miss the wave. By timing the wave correctly, you enjoy the ride all the way to the beach.
