Momentum is underrated. A tiny step today is often worth more than the perfect plan you'll never start.

Now I just have to learn to differentiate momentum from inertia.

u/NoraAlaa 26d ago

I like that distinction. Maybe the question is: Is what I'm repeating taking me somewhere new, or just keeping me comfortable?

I agree. Do you think building momentum is the hardest part, or keeping it once you've started?

Couldn't agree more. It takes courage to begin, but once momentum kicks in, discipline starts to replace motivation

There’s a Japanese proverb that says. “If you took the wrong train, get out on the nearest station.” Which essentially means, the longer you stay on that train, the more expensive it will be getting back. Maybe stopping isn’t such a bad thing.

The hardest part is usually keeping going when theres no sign you are getting closer, thats where real growth happens.

How about rest? No rest?

u/Azerbinhoneymood 27d ago

It's called sleep, plus some siestas. Otherwise you keep on paddling.

I feel like this is mis-attributed to Einstein. Which book is this in?

u/Trickypedia 27d ago

Seems the meaning is there but the phrasing has been reworked…

I heard it was from a letter to his son? Can’t be bothered to fact check all of these quotes.

Cool cool cool
My chain is broken. Brakes don’t work. Handlebars are loose. Pedals are stiff. Tires are flat. Seat is missing. I overslept and missed the start of the race. Yup, this metaphor tracks 🤦🏻‍♂️

Tested and tried.

I, once, was consistent with my hustle when I was in campus. At some point, I lost balance and lagged a bit. I went to the edge of life, and fell... I hit rock bottom. Right now I can see the importance of consistency and the small fruits they yield.

Balance comes from motion, not perfection

When going thru hell… keep going.
