A plane one degree off course misses its destination by a mile for every sixty miles it flies. One degree variation can make all the difference between ending up in Chicago or Topeka. Most of the time, life asks for a small turn... and that turn changes everything.

Drop the day's burdens into a heavy old chest and watch it slide into the corner. Breathe through the heart on a four-count and watch the needle of your inner compass settle. Float above your life and see it laid out like a map: mountains, valleys, a winding river. Find one point of friction and blow golden light over the whole path to bless it. Look to the horizon, sense your highest potential, and feel the compass lock in at your solar plexus.
