A body in motion, stays in motion



Have you ever watched a volleyball player when she is about to receive a serve, a short stop when a ball is about to be hit?  Did you ever notice the goal tender when the soccer ball is on the other end of the field?  None of these people are standing still.  Their bodies are in motion, they are already moving even though they have no active part in the game at that moment. 

A body in motion, stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force – Sir Isaac Newton’s law of inertia.  One who is on the move will be ready when it is time to act. 

If you were to time yourself standing still in one spot and on a command taking off to run 20 yards versus jogging in that same spot and taking the command to run the same 20 yards, you would see that a body in motion stays in motion and responds better when the time comes.

Are you sitting and waiting for that job promotion, for the right someone or for someone to make you feel better and pick you up?   A body in motion, stays in motion.  Get up, get moving, get ready.  In sales, we call it “stirring the pot”, you have to be making calls to make sales.  If you are sitting and waiting for the sales to come to you, they might, but it will happen more quickly and more regularly if you are moving, talking, calling, interacting.  Move toward your goal.  Get in motion.
