Newton’s third law of motion states “For every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.”
This law can be extended to human behavior. In the physical realm the reaction to an action is often immediate but in case of human behavior, reactions may take time or may be apparent only later. But the law still applies. When you are kind and offer help (action), you receive kindness and help in return (reaction). When you send good vibes, you receive good vibes.
Reflect on areas in your life where you are passively waiting for someone else to take the initiative. If you were to make the first move, what would you do? For example, it could be asking for a better assignment in your job instead of waiting for your boss to recognize your potential, reaching out to your dream company, asking someone on a date or picking up the phone to patch up with a friend.
While reading a book or listening to a podcast are great for acquiring information, what you need to learn can only be learned by attempting what you fear. Information can be gathered through reading, listening or watching, but knowledge is revealed through doing.
Quit waiting for life to give you what you think you deserve. Instead, make it happen. Do the action and may be you will start a reaction. If you consistently take action, over time those actions accumulate and reaction is inevitable.
Life rewards action. What actions are you going to take today, tomorrow and everyday thereafter to initiate the reactions you desire in your life?
