Energy in Motion

Enjoy this time, every moment is precious in life. 

"If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place" − Nora Roberts 

Around this time last year, I forced myself to have a conversation with Mr. Fillmore, my design instructor at the time in his office.  I was pressed with so many huge decisions and I didn't know what direction to take.  This was regarding my commitment if I was to be part of an internship program that lasted the whole year.  The decision was mine.  One of the drawbacks was meeting every Saturday from 9-4 pm at Cal State L.A.  With this as one of the handicaps, I was turned off.  Then Mr. Fillmore told me about inertia.

Inertia:

Newton's first law of motion states that "An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." Objects tend to "keep on doing what they're doing."

He told me to not think of it as a sixth day of the school week.  "Think of it as something you do on the weekends" - a different insightful perspective.   I committed and finished this program last calendar year.  I gained content from having completed it, as it was even more monumental in a pivotal time in my life. 

If you stay at rest, you will stay at rest.  If you are in constant motion, you will stay in motion.  You won't stumble upon something if you are sitting down.  Food for thought.
