There is power of momentum. You enjoy a small accomplishment, and the positive satisfaction it gives you sets you up for an even bigger and better accomplishment, which further increases the positive momentum.
Ralph Marston

Power of Momentum

Small things can make a big difference, because even the small things define the direction of your momentum. When you're thankful and joyous about the modest successes, they begin to build into bigger successes.

Because negative momentum can be just as strong, it often takes a lot of effort to make even the smallest move in a positive direction. Yet it is worth all the effort, because even with that small move you have effectively turned the power of momentum in your favor.

Once momentum is moving in your direction, you begin to get more and more positive results from each effort. Start small, get momentum working for you, and there's no limit to how far you can go.
Ralph Marston

We met our daughter and her husband and our four little grandsons all under 3 years old at Northpark. I was pushing two of the triplets in their stroller when their mom, Ginny, handed little Jake the only bag of goldfish (little crackers). Austin was immediately upset and wanted to know where his bag was. She told him there was only one bag and they had to share. Then she left them with me as they were tussling over the bag. (thanks!)

I said wait, wait, wait. We can do this! I told Austin to take one goldfish, then share with Jake. Austin popped one goldfish in his mouth and reluctantly handed the bag to Jake. I shouted way to go! Great share! We slapped hands in a ‘high five’. Jake smiled took a goldfish and handed it back to Austin as we repeated the ‘high five’ slaps. After three rounds, I gave them a ‘thumbs up’ and praised them profusely.

Now we had momentum going. For the rest of our walk the boys shared, exchanged high five’s and got thumbs up from me regularly. When we rejoined the others, they continued to share down to the last piece.

It is amazing that once momentum is moving in your direction, you begin to get more and more positive results from each effort. We started small, got great momentum working and made a fun enjoyable experience out of sharing. It works as well in our adult lives and businesses as it works for two year olds. (Don’t forget the ‘high-five’s’ and ‘thumbs up.’)
