- 🧪 Newton’s Third Law
I’m writing you from frustration…
There’s something I want to do business-wise, and I can’t figure out how. I absolutely hate not being able to bring my ideas to life. Plus, I’m not very tech-savvy, so that’s already a minus.
But you know what? Where’s a will, there’s a way.
🧪 Newton’s Third Law
I cannot describe how annoyed I am.
But I’ll still find out how to make it work. That’s how you become successful—by having the willingness to figure things out when they aren’t working the way you want them to.
If something’s not working, nothing’s wrong… everything is exactly right.
How come I say that? Because the world works through laws & principles.
Newton’s Third Law: Action & Reaction 👇🏽
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When I say everything is exactly right if something’s not working, I state that because it’s true. You acted (made an attempt), but it did not react the way you wanted it to (it failed). Which means you just did not take the right action.
So in my case—I need to take responsibility.
Because if I was doing the right thing, I would get the outcome I’m looking for.
When you take responsibility, you take control of the situation.
Now there’s something you can do about it.
I don’t know about you, but I just got uplifted by the words above. My patience is restored, my frustration released, and I’m ready to take responsibility.
Sometimes you just need to hear the truth.
It’s not working because you’re not doing the right thing. Nothing is flawed except the things you’re doing.

Find the action (input) that creates the reaction (output) you’re looking for.
📖 Today’s Book Bit Quote
Author - Unknown
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Different approach to this section today… a quote!
It popped up in my mind while writing today’s issue, so I decided to share it here.
When something’s not working how you want it to, it is because it’s not triggered by the right action, I cannot stress this enough. You would be insane to continue pressing the red button when it’s clearly not generating the outcome you want.
Sometimes all you need to do is switch tracks. Maybe that’ll get you where you want to go.
If not…
Switch again! Until it works.
🌟 Today’s Epiphany
You can take control of anything, all you need to do is take responsibility.
P.S. About the quote stated above, people believe Einstein said it, but he never actually did.
