Newton's Third Law

Newton’s Third Law states, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Al the work you put into the universe - every ounce of effort, every bit of energy - is stored, and it will return to you.

This is why it’s crucial that you never just go through the motions.

Maybe you’re posting on social media, but there’s no genuine energy behind it.

You’re hitting the gym, but you’re just moving the weights.

You’re spending time with your significant other, but your mind is somewhere else.

None of this constitutes real work.

None of this truly matters.

Who do you think you’re fooling with this half-hearted effort?

God? The universe?

Don’t be arrogant here. The only person you’re fooling is yourself.

The energy you put into the world is the energy you will receive back.

If there’s no life force behind your actions, don’t expect life to reward you in return.

Stop pretending that merely showing up is enough.

Stop thinking that going through the motions is going to lead to anything significant.

It’s not.

Real effort, real work, comes from being fully present and putting your whole self into whatever you do.

When you align your actions with intention and purpose, the universe will store that energy and send it back your way.
