Small Steps and the Law of Momentum

“It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.”

–Confucius

A small step doesn’t get you very far, and generally we judge the value of the step based on distance. If your workout today consisted of jumping rope one time (one revolution), you probably didn’t burn many calories or lose much weight. On that basis we tend to discount small steps. We want to take giant steps that allow us to move forward quickly in large leaps. With a Dorothyesque click of the heels we hope to get from here to there, even when “there” is nowhere in sight. The true value of small steps is often ignored. They involve motion. We go from not doing something to doing it – even in a minimal way. According to the laws of physics, we go from being a body at rest to a body in motion. Here’s Newton’s First Law of Physics:

An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by some outside force.
