Recently I just came upon something Tony Robbins called “millimeters” I first heard it as “degrees”. He gave the illustration of driving a golf ball. If you are just millimeters off when you strike the ball, it goes off in the wrong direction. The idea is that if our approach is off by just a couple of degrees then no matter how much effort you put in you will not reach your desired destination.
Pat talks about “the little things that make a big difference”. It’s the same idea. Sometimes if we make a small adjustment it makes a big change in the person and the horse. Maybe your position is off by a few inches or your timing is off by just a hair, but to your horse it makes a big difference.
My encouragement to you is to realize that in some cases you might be 99% there but it’s that last 1% that makes the difference. It may be that extra ounce of effort or that extra second that makes all the difference in the world to your horse or for anything in your life for that matter.
I found this video on you tube the other day and thought it would be appropriate. It talks about the same idea just in a slightly different way. It’s called 212 Degrees.
I'll won't blog Christmas Eve or Christmas day, so please, have a great Christmas! Remember what is most important...
