Jan 3: Momentum

Today when I walked outside down the driveway, I closed my eyes, placed my arms out with my fingers open, and felt the wind whipping through my fingers.

The wind is like a force driving us forward.  By living in the moment, the force that is driving us forward, like the wind, is MOMENTUM.

momentum (n)

1. capacity for progressive development: the power to increase or develop at an ever-growing pace
2. forward movement: the speed or force of forward movement of an object
3. measure of movement: a quantity that expresses the motion of a body and its resistance to slowing down. It is equal to the product of the body's mass and velocity.

Sometimes in our lives, we all lose momentum.  Whether it is friction caused by a failing relationship, a loss of passion in job, or maybe just the aging process, the loss of momentum can cause us to either refocus and rebound or to break. 

Living in the moment requires momentum- a concrete choice to get up each day focused on making the most of the day and not dwelling on past or what might be in the future.  To change what is not working so that progress occurs in each of us.  We are each a work of art being sculped one minute at a time.

We each need to find our wind, our momentum.
