Look up the word “Manipulation in the Merriam-Webster dictionary and you will see two definitions:

1. to treat or operate with or as if with the hands or by mechanical means, especially in a skillful manner.
2. to manage or utilize skillfully Manipulation is usually good! It’s how we create useful things, leverage our skills, and influence results.

Your ability to manipulate momentum is essential to your success.

To control something is to have complete authority over it. You could say that manipulation is control over one aspect of something.

Sudesh are you saying you can control every aspect of life? As we’ve all experienced, we can’t control every aspect of life. You can’t control your spouse, children, the government or even your employees.

However, while we can’t control everything, we can manipulate important, impactful areas, which will influence the trajectory of our lives.

It’s hard to predict how much momentum any specific behavior will produce and in what timing; we just know that forward motion will always produce some amount of momentum.

Rocky Balboa puts it this way in the 2006 movie Rocky Balboa:
“When things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.
That’s how winning is done!”

Mastering momentum isn’t about being unstoppable in every single moment or avoiding all setbacks; it’s about being unstoppable in a general sense, as Rocky is saying. It means you can take hits.

It means, even if you’re knocked out cold, you’re going to come to your senses and recover quickly.

It means you aren’t easily discouraged. It means you know how to move yourself forward in any circumstance.

Remember this idea when something doesn’t go your way or when your positive momentum is not as strong as you thought it would be after starting an action.

Your job isn’t to produce a precise amount of momentum, it’s to create positive momentum as often as you can. If you do that, results will
follow.

Momentum is easiest to generate when you
already have it.

Manipulation in this case is what most people call having positive vibes
