Sometimes it seems like life is burying you. You’re working hard and not getting anywhere. Maybe things are going wrong.

Give yourself a small win. Pick one thing in your life that you can control, and give yourself credit for a small win. Maybe it’s getting to the gym one day this week. Maybe it’s making one sales call.

You don’t have to hit all of your goals to feel like you’re making progress. Give yourself a win. Then another win. Then just keep going, celebrating your small successes. You’ll feel better.
