FI/T(G)= Explosive and Unstoppable Momentum
Let me put the formula in words so it
will make sense to you. Focused Intensity, over Time, multiplied by God, equals Explosive Unstoppable
Momentum. Dave is applying this
principle to business leadership, but at its core is change. Just like lasting lifestyle change, momentum
is built on making every moment count.
To better understand that last statement, let’s take a closer look at
the formula.
Think about what it would look like to
have focused intensity. To be focused is
to have your attention vigilantly honed in on a target. When I think of intensity, I think of passion
and zeal for a cause. It is my personal
opinion that a vision supplies a target and is based on passion for a certain
cause. So when you have a vision,
focused intensity is set on making that dream a reality.
The problem with most people, me
included, is that we lose focus in the long term. Things distract us from realizing our
dreams. Sure, we are passionate in the
short term, but Explosive Unstoppable Momentum is not built on short-term
commitment. Most of our visions are only
a flash in the pan. What we are talking
about here is the long-term commitment.
Focused Intensity only builds the momentum we long for when it happens
over a long period of time.
These two components are not explosive
and unstoppable by themselves though. It
is the third variable that really makes this thing take off. To take a step back, when you have a
God-given vision, that is intensely focused over time, God provides the Big
Bang needed to propel you forward. When
the big bang happens, this is when things start becoming more fun and
natural. This is similar to the mental
paths we talked about. In essence, this
formula that is built on God’s vision builds habits that breed crazy success; the
kind of success that builds explosive unstoppable momentum.
I am reminded of a magnifying glass. If you go out on a sunny day, and hold a
magnifying glass over some kindling and pitch for an extended period of time,
you will shortly have a fire. Then throw
a large amount of gasoline on the fire and you have big bang that leads to an
unstoppable forest fire.
Breaking your nature is much the same
process. You have a vision of some
change you want to create in your character and thinking. If you focus in on this target and keep it
before you over the long haul, and you are praying for God to multiply and lead
your success, you can and will embrace the change; I guarantee it. So, be thinking about something you want to
change in your life, and we will use this next week to start building a
vision. Our foundation is set. Let’s change the way we think, and change the
way we live.
