Success Principle Works the Same With Negative Momentum

Protecting Your Future Self

Success magazine:

“Small actions might not seem like much at first, but over time, they can have a compounding effect. Actions add up or intensify over time, and you can achieve big results from small daily steps.”

Absolutely.

What isn’t as palatable, inspiring and encouraging to read is the flip side of that declaration about momentum.

What Success magazine wrote about not only goes for intelligent judgment, smart decisions and actions but for poor judgment, poor decisions and negative actions.

They too have a “compounding effect,” and “add up or intensify over time,” only against your wellbeing. People just don’t understand this in any given moment where their thinking is revealing a “virus” and when it’s another action within the negative momentum that is becoming a powerful driver of future pain and suffering.

This is why it’s important to stop, thinking and forecast the future and our future selves and the quality of our life and existence when we are thinking, deciding and acting.

Our judgment can get cloudy. Emotions, psychology, ego and habits can be dangerous accelerants of recklessness and foolishness.

Reversing course is long available to us, until we reach the point of no return (and we’ll know once we’ve arrived there). Then, course correction has become too late.

Setting up safeguards to catch ourselves we are beginning to go off course or fully go off the rails is wise living. Find people you trust who know you extremely well who can help you “see” what you might be or are missing. Lean on professionals as a back up.
