Continuing on from the event I attended I am going to dive deeper into Ron Finklestein’s talk on a 1 degree difference.

People are people. We let our belief systems hold us back. Why?! Too often we are caught up in a mindset that really stops us reaching our full potential. Learning to change our mindsets, we need to act on simple things daily that will allow us to change our thought patterns by just 1 degree every day. Imagine if you could do that consistently! Next time you come across something you would love to do but don’t ‘think’ you can, go for it! Shift your mindset this 1 degree.

It is incredibly important that you all know that defining moments create opportunity! That one decision could be life altering, for good or bad. We all need to know the difference between these life altering decisions and learn to make those that have beneficial consequences.

Did you know that you can learn to create your own defining moments? Seriously, you can. How many of you have heard of the analogy of an intersection? You know, the cross roads of life. Do I choose ‘A’ or ‘B’? When you come to an intersection you know there is a decision to be made. There is either a stop sign, or a traffic light but there usually is something. We all know that these are not the only times when driving where you could make a turn. Sometimes there is that little right or left turn along the way. Who knew it was even there? I mean really, it was such a small road! Would taking it have any consequences at all? Intersections are what take your life from average to above average. These little turns along the way are what take your life from above average to exceptional!

I love taking these little turns! You receive the weirdest looks from people! They wonder what on earth you are doing. Why are you heading down there? Of course, none of them know what is down that road, but they will mock you for going in that direction. These turns often create a 90 degree shift in your thinking. They are something completely knew and a complete revelation. 1 degree shifts in thinking happen over time, 90 degree shifts don’t happen as often, but when they do, it is truly amazing!

Focus on the 1 degree shifts today. Then the 90 degree shifts will become more obvious along the way. To focus on a 1 degree shift you need a catalyst. Try focus on a personal development book or audio CD, or even a video. The important part is what happens once you are involved in this action. Apply just one or two things a day that you learn. By doing so, you start that 1 degree shift.
