Escape velocity is about that very moment of pushing past the gravitational pull of what isn’t working
— @chrisbrogan
I’ve been thinking about escape velocity since the beginning of 2010. In scientific terms, escape velocity is the speed one needs to attain to leave the gravitational pull of a planet. It seems like the perfect way to explain that time when we’re stuck in a behavior or a situation and can’t yet pull free to move to a new, better thing. Escape velocity, to me, is that effort you put in to shift from the bad situation to the better situation before you’re able to make the big move.
