By definition, tangents are small things: the tiny beginnings of deviations from the path; by definition, tangents are mini.
Over time, the mini-deviations we make and take from our desired paths grow and the distance between where we are and where we expected to be increases.
Over time, mini-tangent become mega-tangents: this is the law and the nature of tangential things.
Over time, small deviations become enormous disconnections: the prior path becomes less recognizable as it shrinks away.
Tangents, the mini-ones, are the first illustrations of new things...People do only 3 things - good habits, bad habits, & new things.
Tangents, again the mini-ones, are the first steps of change...in nature, for the most part, irreversible.
Tangents, those mini-tangents, are the seeds that sprout the roots of our habits…they are the new things that become either our good habits or our bad habits.
Tangents: this basic geometry governs everything from our daily play to the success of our lives.
