Mass X Velocity

Happy Wednesday, {{first_name}}!

In physics, momentum = mass x velocity

🪨 Mass- a measure of how much “stuff” is in an object AND how resistant it is to acceleration.
⬅️ Velocity- both how fast AND in what direction something is moving.

So, where is your current momentum taking you? Will your current trajectory take you where you want to go? 🤔

Let’s talk about what I’ll call ‘masculine momentum’, or momentum in the masculine domains of faith, family, fitness, and finance.

Start with velocity. Can you be moving in a negative or positive direction in your Faith, or Finance? Can you be moving fast or slow in your Fitness or Family? Yes and Yes.

Ok, what about mass? Big or small? How established are your Faith, Family, Fitness, Finance? When a financial storm comes, how resistant will your bank account be to the negative acceleration? How about your Faith in a spiritual whirlwind?💨

“With frightening speed, a testimony that is not nourished daily “by the good word of God” can crumble.” -Russell M. Nelson

Masculine momentum is where all these line up together in a man’s life. Maybe you have a big business moving quickly in a positive direction! That’s a lot of momentum! 📈 Maybe you have a little addiction, moving slowly, in a negative direction. 📉 That’s also momentum!

The longer it builds, the more it will “resist a change in velocity”, so it’s time to hold tight to all your positive momentum and cut off your negative momentum NOW because it will only become harder to change!

⚫️ Have you seen ads for those mobile games, where you are a sink hole that sucks things up? The more things you swallow the bigger your sink hole becomes, until you’re swallowing entire buildings and even other players till you win!

That’s what I think of when I think of Masculine Momentum. Consistency in small things over a really long time so that your capacity grows so big it’s just natural to swallow whole buildings!

For example, one thing that I’ve consistently done for my entire life is exercise. As a kid I was always involved in sports, then my last couple years of high school I started lifting weights a bit, which became super consistent during college and I’ve always stayed committed to exercise since then! 💪

Well, when a friend called me up and said “hey, my friend just bailed on me for the half marathon, would you come run it with me in 10 days?” I said, sure! I’ve never run one but always wanted to, let’s do it!

My capacity had grown to where I could take that on fairly easily at a short notice. I went on to run a full marathon for the first time just a couple years ago.

Last year I had another experience like that, where a friend said “Hey someone bailed on the half Ironman, do you wanna race with us? I’m sure you could do it, race day is in 2.5 weeks.” I had a conflict that stopped me that time, but I trained for and completed the Ironman this year instead! 🙌

Building your momentum in each masculine domain is an exercise of building your capacity a little bit at a time through consistent commitment to small actions.

What consistent, positive actions will lead you to momentum in your faith? You’ll say yes readily and easily when you’re asked to speak in church, or you easily say yes when prompted to do something a little uncomfortable? (Here are 5 ideas)

What consistent, positive actions will lead you to strength in familial relationships so that your wife and kids actively seek your council when things are challenging?

What consistent, positive actions will lead your business to naturally grow to take on clients 10 times the size of your current portfolio?
That’s Masculine Momentum.
