CATALYST

CATALYST

A CATALYST is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change, or something that causes activity between two or more persons or forces without itself being affected. A CATALYST is a person or thing that precipitates an event, or a person whose talk, enthusiasm, or energy causes others to be more friendly, enthusiastic or energetic. Simpler definitions of CATALYST are a substance that causes a chemical reaction to happen more quickly, or a person or event that quickly causes change or action.

The CATALYST may or may not be affected, depending on the definition used, but the CATALYST accelerates, provokes or causes action. Action is life. Success, accomplishments, achievements, growth – these require action.

Think about something you want to do or see done. Can you find a CATALYST? Can you be a CATALYST?  There may be some times you can do it without being affected (such as donating money to a charity to accelerate the charity’s actions) but for your most important goals being a CATALYST will change you.

Your most important goals can also be a CATALYST if they are motivating…
