211 Degrees vs. 212 Degrees.  1 extra degree between something being very hot & something that generates enough force to power a machine.  It is a reminder that small things make a tremendous difference. .87 seconds.  Average margin of victory for the Indy 500 over the last 15 years.  $2.1 MM vs. $800k the difference in the prize money.  212 is a message of action.  Going to let you in on the secret of success, there is no real secret.  Success has one fundamental aspect-effort.  The line between failure & success is so fine that we, are often on the line & do not even know it.  Imagine if you set aside your fear, turned into courage & held on for one more degree!  The only thing that stands between you & you & you & what you want in life is the will to try it & the faith to believe it is possible.  So my call to action, my call to take your life from 211 to 212 degrees is stop being less.  Stop being afraid, believe in yourself, & become an unstoppable locomotive!
