“Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.”

Inertia is a key concept in physics. It represents the resistance of any physical object, including us, to any change in its state of motion. The word “inertia” comes from the Latin word for “sluggish”.

Momentum is also a key concept in physics. It describes objects in motion and is defined as the mass times its velocity. To change an object’s momentum, we must exert a force on it.

Exercise:

Where are you currently waiting in your professional or personal life for the conditions to be perfect? How can and will you overcome this inertia and generate momentum toward your goals, to make these conditions more perfect?
