Momentum is a powerful concept, both on the upside and the downside.
If you are actively working towards meaningful change, there may be a lot of time before results occur – but then suddenly it feels like it’s all coming at once. The trick is to stay the course.
The inverse is also true, so be very careful with areas in your life that you’re neglecting. The trick here is to change the course.
Rudi Dornbusch is credited with saying, “In economics, things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.”
Which is basically a longer way of saying “it never rains but it pours”.
