Imagine a rocket about to launch in Houston Texas.
Escape Velocity is the speed this rocket needs to go to break free of the earth's gravitational pull.
It's a staggering 40,000km an hour and requires up to 1.9 Million litres of fuel.
However, after the rocket has broken free of the earth's gravitation field...it requires only about 20% of this amount of fuel to reach its destination.
That's because taking off is the hardest bit.
After that the rocket has 'momentum'. It soars.
And it's the same with you achieving your goals in life.
Once you go past a certain point of struggle and effort...you get a new momentum... you take flight....you achieve your goals lightning fast.
Earl Nightingale - founder of the world's biggest personal development publishing company - puts it like this:
"A time can come for each of us when more will happen for us in six months than has happened in the previous six years. Compound events in our lives can be compressed into remarkably short periods.”
