The Game of Inches

Summary:

  • In this chapter of Chase the Lion, it is all about inches. Ed Catmull was driving in Yellowstone National park when oncoming traffic went into their lane and was about two inches to knocking them off the road. If those two inches would have happened we would not have Toy Story, Finding Nemo, or Up. Ed later in life became founder and president of Pixar. Life is a game of inches.
  • God is in the business of strategically positioning us in the right place and at the right time. You never know who you sit by or talk to might have an extramental impact on your life. What you think is a seating assignment may be a divine assignment.
  • Through countless examples in this book about the small incremental acts and decisions of others, we can fully determine that destiny doesn't make appointments. It usually shows up at the front door unannounced. 

Biggest Takeaway:

  • You should speak to others based on their potential, not their current circumstances. You never know who you may come into contact with that will impact your life. Never miss a moment, because you might become someone else's moment. 

Quotes: 

  1. Don't worry about meeting the right person. Focus on becoming the right person.

A character rich in integrity, maturity, and the Abundance Mentality has a genuineness that goes far beyond technique, or lack of it, in human interaction. If we search deeply enough within ourselves-beyond the scripting, beyond the learned attitudes and behaviors- the real validation of Win/Win, as well as every other correct principle, is in our lives.  Relationshi...
