Geometric Progression Unleashed
We all know the saying how “one thing leads to another”.
That might be why dominos are always fun to watch!
There are dozens of domino videos on YouTube, some are amazing animations such as this one in Paris:
Or this real life geometric domino tower:
Or this Guinness World Record video with the most cases, biggest stick bomb and biggest domino wall.
There is even a human mattress domino world record!
Perhaps most interesting is this domino demo focused on the geometric power that can be unleashed from one step to the next.
It turns out that there is a fundamental law of physics that allows a smaller domino to topple a larger domino. This Geometric Progression can allow a tiny domino to start a chain reaction leading to the tallest of dominos to be toppled.
The are some basic but important lessons we can take from these proven laws of geometric progression to help accelerate your ROCKET Goals.
1). Stay Focused on What’s In Front of You
During a domino run, each domino just needs to topple the domino immediately ahead of it! Once you begin working, you don’t need to look far into the future - just get that next domino to topple over!
2). If the Chain Breaks, Just Start Again
Sometimes, the best planned domino runs don’t work. While it’s exciting to see a perfect run without pause, in real life - you will often need to restart the chain reaction.
3). All Kinds of Things Are Subject to the Domino Law
Dominos, CD-covers, human mattresses, health, wealth, relationships and more are all subject to the law of geometric progression. The key for unleashing geometric progression is to line up the best pathway you can imagine, and then laser focus on toppling the one domino directly in front of you.
