In this post, we’ll unpack all you need to know about Newton’s 3 Laws Of Motion, including what they are, how we can leverage them for success and more.
What Is Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion?
In 1686, Sir Isaac Newton presented his 3 Laws Of Motion in the Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis which describe how motion is created and maintained.
The 3 Laws Of Motion
Below we’ll unpack each of the 3 Laws Of Motion.
- Newton’s First Law Of Motion
Newton’s First Law Of Motion states that “Objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest.“
In other words, the more something is in motion, the more momentum it accumulates.
Thus, the first requirement of success is about finding a way to get going. Once you get going, it is much easier to keep going. Success breeds success breeds success.
- Newton’s Second Law Of Motion
Newton’s Second Law Of Motion states that “The force of an object in a particular direction is equal to its mass times acceleration.“
In other words, the greater the mass of an object, the more force in a particular direction it will take to accelerate the object.
Thus, the second requirement of success is about both the intensity of your focus (force) and the target of your focus (direction). Concentrated focus is more effective than diverse focus.
For example, if you focus twice as hard on something (intensity) you’ll succeed twice as fast. However, if you focus on two things (target) it will take you twice as long to succeed compared to if you focus on one thing.
- Newton’s Third Law Motion
Newton’s Third Law Of Motion states that “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” This is also known as The Law Of Cause & Effect.
In other words, the more pressure you apply on life, the more pressure life applies on you.
Thus, the third requirement for success is to remove anything that doesn’t align with your goals and the life you desire.
For example, the same way that removing weight from your back makes movement easier is the same way that removing negative forces from your life makes success easier.
The Key To Success
By understanding Newton’s 3 Laws Of Motion, we can leverage them in a way that enhances our ability to achieve our goals and the life we desire.
in doing so, we become the Masters of our Destiny instead of Slaves to our Fate.
Summary (TL;DR)
Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion are principles formulated by Isaac Newton which describe how motion is created and maintained.
The lesson from the first law is to build momentum. The lesson from the second law is to concentrate focus. Finally, the lesson from the third law is to build momentum is to remove all obstacles.
By understanding Newton’s 3 Laws Of Motion, we can leverage them in a way that enhances our ability to achieve our goals and the life we desire.
