Pilots will tell you this He said that, for every single degree you fly off course, you will miss your target landing spot by 92 feet for every mile you fly.That amounts to about one mile off target for every sixty miles flown. If you decided to start at the equator and fly around the earth, one degree off would land you almost 500 miles off target. So, the longer you travel off course, the further you will be away from the intended target. Is that acceptable? Not if I am on the plane. On a flight from JFK to LAX, that might put me 40 miles out in the Pacific Ocean. One degree off could be the difference between making it to an important meeting on time, or using my seat as a flotation device.What are you accepting in your life? What is your tolerance for being off course?

Something I’ve found in my life is that if I’m focusing my goals on becoming the person God wants me to be, then I’ll be doing what God wants me to do. Too many times in life we get it backwards. We start focusing on what we want to do, what we want to accomplish, what we want … but it is always a mistake to do that. It’s always a mistake to focus your attention on what you want to accomplish before you focus on who you want to be.
