Motion Creates Magnetism
Tweet Track your recent base hits or home runs. I bet you’ll see that even the slightest little success, chance encounter or “lucky break” was the result of you being active and in motion toward a goal or desire. The funny thing is often times the success or lucky break had to do with something else and not necessarily the “thing” you were working on. Maybe you’re hustling and meeting people.
