Focus on the Family - Small Changes

Oneplace.com: Focus on the Family (Dr. James Dobson) - Broadcast Archives: "'Houston, we have a problem.' Just a two-degree shift in Apollo 13's homeward course would have caused the spacecraft to miss the earth by thousands of miles. Indeed, minor changes can make a big difference. The same principle applies in daily life. For example, how long did you maintain your New Year's resolution to lose 20 lbs? Setting the bar too high often leads to discouragement, but smaller, more manageable changes can increase your likelihood of success. Psychologist and author Dr. John Trent discusses simple adjustments that can lead to life-changing results.
'How in the world such can a small degree of difference lead to such a great effect? I don’t meet couples that, when they got married, were 11,121 miles apart. They started off two degrees [apart] and all of a sudden they woke up one day and were miles apart.' - Mr John Trent "
