Newton's laws...What?

      Today I want to talk about how the most fundamental laws of physics relate to life and how the will help us improve our lives and businesses. I know it might seem a stretch, but it is a fact that quantum physics apply in almost every aspect of life and much of life can be expressed so. Lets get into it, shall we.

      I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. 
           Actually one of the easiest to explain and easiest to understand. Simply put, a body at rest tends to stay at rest, a body in motion tends to stay in motion unless an outside force is present to change that state. Closely related to Galileo's law of inertia, basically saying that if we, as people, are in motion, we tend to stay in motion. If we are at rest, we tend to stay at rest. Ever notice that the most successful people you know have a tendency to not sleep as much but always get the sleep they need? Or that they schedule themselves for just about everything? They know their time is precious and they use it wisely, time management being a very important part of their lives. If a person goes home from work, plops on the coach and watches TV till its time to go to bed, how successful do you think they will be?

      II. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector. 
          Simply put, the aforesaid object in motion, stays in motion along the same course (vector) as it was moving in. If you are moving in a positive direction, keep going. A body at rest requires the acceleration force to stop it from being at rest. If you were ever in the military, you know during basic training you learned a real simple version of this. If you werent moving in the direction or vector that the drill instructor wanted you to, he put a boot in your rear. That was the acceleration you needed to get on the right path. All of us at times require a little nudge to get us on the path that we need to be on and we have to get that force from somewhere, whether we do it from inside ourselves, whether an outside force exerts itself on us or what. Something has to exert a change in vector on us. 

      III. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 
           The easiest to explain. For every effort or action you put out, you get a return action. And the greater action or effort, the greater return you get. If you make a point to smile at everyone you meet, that smile will be returned to you. If you put great effort into your business, that effort will be returned to you by the actions of others. As others see you putting that effort into everything you do, the greater will be the reaction that you are a person they want to follow. And they will want to send that effort back to you. 

      Obviously these laws are not intended to predict human behavior. There will always be an exception here and there. Maybe Newtons first law is acting on someone already so the third law doesn't have any effect. All of the laws are subject to outside forces and wont always predict the reaction you receive from others. But just maybe, if you follow the laws, and the next person you sign up sees you and the efforts you put out, maybe the second law will come into effect and you will be that force to create a new vector for them. And then they will do so, and then the people they sign will do so, and so on and so on. The reaction to your effort might end up coming back to you 30 fold.

 

One of lifes laws

      Theres a lot of programs out there that help you deal with life. They tell you how to rearrange your life to make it more positive and productive. Indeed, the basis of all self-help books and life mentoring deals with this idea in one form or another. If you spend your life trying to read these books, youll read a lot of different ideas and concepts that seem very different but really very similar. So similar in fact that I can boil almost all of them down to one  simple, easy to remember phrase or acronym: GIGO.

      For those of us who were familiar with computers back in the day when they crashed into the home world and everyone was trying to invent new phrases to go with all that was happening your familiar with the term. If your not then Ill explain it. GIGO stands for garbage in= garbage out. It was a term that originated with computer programmers who were trying to tell normal people why a program wouldn't work and trying to explain that computers weren't thinking for themselves, they had to be programmed. It simply meant that if there was a faulty program to start with, then the end result would be faulty.

       If you have looked at the life coaching programs out there, youll understand that the underlying concept is that you need to control the forces and thoughts acting on your life ( garbage in ). By allowing the negativity in our lives we are creating an environment that duplicates what we allow in it ( garbage out ). By breaking the cycle of negativity, we allow our "programming" to catch up to where we desire to be. Its a really simple concept to apply and live by. When you think of something or someone tells you something to do or think, simply think "GIGO?" and see if its what you want to have in your life. If it isnt, deep six it and move on. If there is a negative person in your life, no matter who it is, remove them. You will never succeed with negativity. Look for more positive people  to talk to and grow ideas with. Another old saw that comes to mind is " Its hard to soar like an eagle when your surrounded by turkeys."

       So by breaking down the influences in our lives we are able to see what is positive or negative and apply GIGO to it and allow us to "reprogram" our lives in the direction we wish to go.
