Newton's First Law of Couch Potatoes and Achievers
Hello Buzzy Bees!
I've been listening to the book The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy - yes you read it right, I have the audiobook because you already know I like podcasts and these things on the go - And I had to go to the written chapter I was listening to get a quote to share with you:
If you remember your high-school physics class (you do, don’t you?), you’ll recall Newton’s First Law, also known as the Law of Inertia: Objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless something stops their momentum. Put another way, couch potatoes tend to stay couch potatoes. Achievers—people who get into a successful rhythm—continue busting their butts and end up achieving more and more.
Well...I must confess that I was a couch potato and still am (I have a very potato-figure 🤣), but for the past year, I've been building myself to get out of the couch and do something, especially since I'm unemployed due to Covid!
With no sign of getting my offline job back still, I need to keep up!
I need to keep the momentum up!
So, I decided to start a course in Photoshop!
Even if I have a million things to do, there are things I need to prioritize!
I always had a passion to draw since I was little but also from my parents' education and the idea around that time was there wasn't much of a future/real job in that area unless architecture! And that, meh...line's and buildings weren't really my thing that time!
Today with the interwebs boom things are different now!
Digital Design might be an interesting thing and adaptable to my passion plus maybe rewarding in the future!
And Photoshop's been a thing I was curious on if I am able to work with all those infinite tools that it has inside!
Will I be able to create snazzy things?
Only time and practice will tell!
I need to keep Newton's First Law pumping!
How about you?
Will you be a Couch Potato or an Achiever?
Thank you so much for reading!

ENGAGEtokens.Very nice post I tweeted it too! peace and Love to ya!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate it 😊
It's the desire of everyone to be an achiever in one field or the other. No knowledge is a waste and i salute your drive in exploring your way into Photoshop. One thing I've learnt in life is that If one way doesn't work at the moment, the other way will. The Newton's law is really applicable to our daily lives in that One will remain stagnant in a position until a force of action is applied to bring about the change that paves way to our success. Great post👍 @elianaicgomes
I have a variety of courses from a university degree to a few which in my country are called professional courses which are more practical than theory. Doing an online course is a first for some who prefer the old school in-person with a teacher lol but having this in my comfort and safe home. It will be a challenge that I'm willing to take. It will be worth it as always!
Thank you for your comment 😁

😊You're utmost welcome @elianaicgomes and it's my pleasure meeting you once again. For me i think having your course done at the comfort of your home is more better because it lessens the stress of having to leave your home to a distant place or learning center, besides, it's more safer during this pandemic. During my undergraduate days at the University, I was used to watching practical YouTube videos of whatever i wanna learn and it serves better than having to go through life classes containing crowded students. 😊I like the challenge you taken and it worths it. Photoshop is a wonderful application and i wish to explore through it too. Though I'm used to Inshot.
ENGAGEtokens.Yay! 🤗

ENGAGEtokens.Great post. I can say I am a bed potato in which I do my surfing and internet stuff on my bed. That is why I make cards get me off the bed and moving to do something else. Once up and about I tend to get more done around the house.
As long as you keep moving you should be fine! Adding a few more things day by day and you should be fine as well! And you will be an achiever in no time :)

ENGAGEtokens.Good choice with the photoshop choice.
I’m trying to get back on the blockchain this year. Really try to make something of my time here.
Thank you!
Yeah sometimes I get sidetracked and slack at engagement. Even though I create almost every day that itself is not enough, I need to go out there and check other people's content!
Hope to see more of your content soon then ;)
