One Degree Off… and You Land in a Different Life

We’ve all heard the classic lines:

“Shoot for the stars, and you’ll land on the moon.”

“It takes 10x the effort to reach your goals.”

They’ve become familiar phrases —

But just because we’ve heard them, doesn’t mean we’ve considered them.

Tonight, let’s take it deeper.

Think about this:

→ If a plane takes off and shifts its direction by just one degree…

it ends up in a completely different place.

It’s a simple truth — one that applies to flight plans and life plans alike.

Because that same one-degree shift?

It applies to mindset.

To discipline.

To direction.

You may not feel the difference today.

But stay with it — and five years later, you’re living in a completely different reality.

And here’s what’s just as true:

Faith plays a huge role in staying the course.

Because you will lose things along the way.

Opportunities. People. Comfort.

Not everyone is meant to go the distance with you.

Some are here for a season.

A lesson.

A launchpad.

And when those doors close, it’s not failure — it’s faith in action.

You’re not being denied.

You’re being redirected.

Prepared for something greater.

But let’s be honest:

It’s not always easy.

Faith is blindly trusting that it will be better later —

even when nothing around you looks like progress.

Most of us go through a full Rolodex of emotions before we find clarity again.

And that’s okay.

Don’t fear the fall —

As long as you get back up.

As long as you use tomorrow to try again, to lean in, and to shift forward just one more degree.

So remain faithful —

To who you are.

To what you want.

To what God placed inside you.

Because growth isn’t always about making a giant leap.

Sometimes it’s about making a small shift with big intention —

and having the faith to keep moving through what you can’t yet see.

Everything I’m building — including my book launching later this year — is grounded in these truths:

Slight pivots can lead to seismic change.

Faith sustains what discipline begins.

And getting back up is always more powerful than falling down.

→ What’s one small change you’ve made that had a major impact?

Let’s talk about it.

Let’s grow through reflection — together.
