I was watching the Super Bowl the other night, and I got to thinking about momentum. Why did it take something like the power outage in the SuperDome to wake up the 49ers? It was incredible, they were like a completely different team... literally out of nowhere. The energy and momentum of the game swung so far over in their favor, Baltimore was lucky that they had a 3 touchdown lead!
Did they have that inside of them all the time? If so, why couldn't they access it? It's not like they weren't getting breaks during which they could turn it around, they didn't do it at the first quarter break, or at halftime. So what was it that was so special and unique about the power outage that caused this to happen. Was it that it was unexpected? Was it that it was 35 minutes? Or was it the power outage at all - was that just a coincidence, and San Fran was coming back regardless?
I'd love to know what you think... wouldn't it be awesome if we were able to access this sort of power. To be responsible for change in momentum or direction because of something you shift in yourself. I mean, an 'Act of God' never hurt either - but those are far less frequent, and out of your control to make happen.
What if a change in momentum was within any of us to create? And what if that lead to a change in how other people responded to everyday situations for the better. Would everyone be friendlier, happier, work harder. Seems quite possible to me. So try to start initiating your own changes in momentum for yourself and those around you.
