Entertaining physics for those who are willing to achieve their goals

There are two general forces acting on a man moving towards his goal, acceleration force and braking force. The sum of them defines the overall progress speed and the time needed to achieve the goal. If the acceleration force is big enough to overcome the braking force, you have a good chance to win. However, if the latter is greater (in absolute value) than the former one, the goal will never be reached.

The value of the acceleration force is generally defined by our mental characteristics, such as knowledge, confidence, perseverance, patience, belief and others. The effect of temperament-driven capabilities like our energy, leadership and friendliness depend on particular goal and may also be significant.

The value of braking force is constituted by many more factors. The simplest of them are miscellaneous objective restrictions, such as laws, expensiveness, absence of bus communication etc. Those factors are rather obvious and can be either bypassed or at least considered when planning the goal. The second source of factors are people around us. Some of them are skeptical, the others are envious, the thirds are just incompetent in the field of your goal; in either case, most of them will not miss a chance to show you that your goal is wrong, unreachable or does not worth reaching at all. The third, and the sneakiest source of factors is... our mind; to be exact, its parts which are usually referred to as fears, complexes and doubts. It is incomprehensible how big can be the contribution of our own mind to the task of preventing us from reaching the goal.

Thereby, having the above statement, it is easy to formulate the tactics for reaching the goal in effective way. Basically, all we need to do is increase the acceleration force and decrease the braking force in every possible way. The first part involves improvement of our mental skills, comprehensive intellectual development, as well as constant and deep self-motivation. Much harder is to overcome the braking force, as this often requires us to fight our mind with itself. But... Doesn’t your goal worth it?
