Momentum

Forget all that horse shit about 'the secret' and how life is totally fair and you make bad and good stuff happen. That New Age lie about your ability to change the world drips with privilege and myopic perspective. Sometimes we replay traumas over and over as our sub-conscious tries to control them. Sometimes we are in a good space and can see opportunities. But don't lie to yourself that your fucking thoughts were the engine of change.

The only thing I've found that changes my life is momentum. The more momentum I gain at work, in the gym or in a relationship the better the outcomes. Momentum is a byproduct of work, and a little bit of help when you feel low. It is all about practice, flow, productivity.....whatever word you use for work.

Work leads to momentum which leads to more work. You don't have to think good thoughts, or attract fame and riches.

You just have to put your head down and skate.
