The Forward Motion Effect

Moving Forward When Tragedy Becomes Part of Your Story

Welcome to Man Morning, a weekly newsletter where I provide hard truths about what actually works. No fluff, no theory, no nonsense.

Something tragic happens every day.

Plane crashes.

Wildfires.

Famine.

Floods.

War.

For most, these stories fade with the news cycle.

It becomes part of you.

It doesn't fade.

What I Know Now

The world keeps spinning.

Through every tragedy.

Through every loss.

Through your darkest day.

And maybe that's the gift:

A reminder to keep spinning too.

The View From Here

Life is tragic.

And equally beautiful.

Darkness exists.

But light is a choice.

It costs nothing to smile.

To offer kindness.

To see possibility.

To take the adventure.

The Truth About Light

You can't appreciate it without darkness.

You can't see it without shadows.

You can't find it without looking forward.

Your Move

If your life was a movie halfway through,

What would the hero do next?

Because you're here.

You woke up today.

You're the hero.

And the next scene is unwritten.
