Hopelessness.
We've all felt it. The feeling that our life has stalled, that we peaked around age 12. Intensified by the social media misrepresentations and outright lies by everyone you know, you feel you just can't measure-up in this world. And that you'll never measure-up, not in any significant way.
Everyone else is fabulously successful, wealthy, happy, or God forbid, all three.
You feel your job is at a standstill and your career ladder is missing the top rungs.
Hopelessness comes from your perception that the distance from here to there is too great, too far, too hard. A Grand Canyon leap of massive proportions achievable only by those smarter than you, more social than you, luckier than you, richer than you.
Euphoria.
An attitude and feeling of excitement and elation. That things are changing for the better, that your life is not only under control, but absolutely spectacular. Things are going so well you don't have the time or inclination to bother posting it on social media.
Your health is top notch. Your career taking welcome and unexpected twists and turns. Your finances no longer a concern. You are the rock and center of all your relationships, lifting the spirits those around you.
I guarantee this blog will take you from hopelessness to euphoria. From mediocre to amazing. From unhealthy to fit. From broke to much better than doing just fine.
You will learn to banish from your mind the great crevasse that you currently see from here to there. Instead you will use the immense power of tiny wins to make a life you love.
At age 18, Joe Roberts was a high school dropout and drug addict living under a bridge on the streets in Vancouver, Canada.
He didn't aspire to be a multi-millionaire within ten years and grace the cover of a national business and cultural magazine.
But that's exactly what happened.
He set the goal of reaching out to someone for help. So he did that at a local outreach clinic. Tiny win accomplished for the day.
A social worker there contacted his mother who traveled to Vancouver. Joe's next win was to live with her - under her rules - and return to school. Tiny win - done.
Next he decided to pay attention to the teacher. Each day a win.
He graduated at the top of his class. But he was unemployed.
He knew about people from his time on the street, so his next win would be a job in sales someplace.
Done.
He decided to use his sales ability to start a small web design company. Just before the dot com boom.
Boom - he's wealthy and he's on the cover of Maclean's - a national publication.
I hope you join me - join all of us - and turn tiny wins into a big life.
