The law of diminishing intent (DW#571)
Last week we talked about how we need to get into action when we feel inspired.
This week let’s explore this idea of inspiration a little more.
Jim Rohn (who happens to be Tony Robbin’s mentor) talks about what he calls the law of diminishing intent. The law of diminishing intent, he explains, is that the likelihood of doing something diminishes the further away you get from the initial moment of inspiration.
In other words, if we don’t take action when we are feeling inspired, and delay it, it becomes much less likely that we will take action in the future. Our intention to take action diminishes with the passage of time.
This applies whether we are talking about working on our relationship,
starting a new project or doing something that we have always wanted to do.
The more an idea sits on our "someday list" the less likely it is that it will actually get done.
So here is what we need to do on capitalize on inspiration and motivation when it does strike: get in motion and start taking action.
