Resting is Rusting – The Reality of Stagnation

The law of inertia states that a body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force. Most people choose to remain at rest and wonder why they are stagnating in life.

For you to make progress in life, you must allow an external force to work on you. If I decide to read a book, change my circle of friends, change my environment, or pursue an education, I am allowing an external force to change my mindset and who I am.

Most people want their lives to change but still retain the same habits, routines, and plans. They want something different but choose to be rigid in their choices, thinking, and practices.

The law of inertia says a body at rest will remain at rest, but the body doesn’t remain the same. The thing will remain at the same place, but it will not remain the same. 

If I buy a brand new sports car and put it in my garage for 10 years, it will remain in the same place untouched but it will not remain the same, the wear and tear will make it inoperable. 

The law of entropy states that things generally move towards disorder. Simply put, if things are left to themselves, they move from bad to worse. If you do not intentionally choose to improve your lifestyle, diet, health, finances, education, company, or any other area in your life, it automatically moves towards chaos or disorder.

This is why you are supposed to capture every thought and bring it into captivity because even a simple thought will move towards disorder and spoil the being. Remember, it is the little foxes that spoil the vineyard.

This year, take charge of who you are in every aspect: exercise, learn, unlearn, be positive, focus on solutions not problems, be kind to yourself, love yourself, start that business, make that bold step, and invest in yourself.

Stop rusting in the garage.

Remember, entropy is real. If you don’t intentionally invest in your purpose today, your potential is already moving toward disorder. Don’t let another year pass in the same spot.
