Sunday Story...One degree

Last week, I wrote about how a small daily action can lead to big accomplishments over time. Here’s another idea.

If you shift your focus, change your steering wheel, or increase your intensity just 1 degree, or 1 adjustment in any direction, your destination will change over time. Think about it. What would Columbus have discovered if he had shifted his course of direction just 1 degree over? Maybe he would have landed in Florida or Venezuela.

At 211 degrees, water is hot; at 212, it boils, and when it does, it produces steam, which produces energy (think steam locomotives). Here is a little movie that shows you how small changes make big differences:

Where in your life can you make a small change and reap different rewards?

Maybe it’s as simple as saying something kind to someone. You thought the words but didn’t verbalize them. Nothing shifts; nothing changes. But what if those words landed and changed someone’s life? Maybe that person really needed to hear that today, and your words will change the trajectory of their life

We don’t always know when our actions will have an effect far beyond what we planned for or expected. Making a one-degree shift in your outlook could change the world, or at least how you see the world.
