The world is full of crybabies. Yeah, I said it. Are you a crybaby?
I've had the opportunity to speak with thousands of people, and more than that, observe thousands more as they walk through life trying to get one step ahead of the bills and problems that plague us all.
The funny thing is, I have found myself as one of these crybabies now and then, and not just years ago, but recently! I've had good success in many areas, and in other areas we are still struggling to find purchase, but the tables are turning, and I've learned a few nuggets of wisdom when it comes to "winning" at life, to borrow a very outdated Charlie Sheen reference.
We've all seen them: the guys and gals who just shine with success, and are constantly poised to take the next "hill", or climb the next mountain, and it just seems like they "never" fail!
Then, there are the other ones, the people who seem to always be in some kind of crisis mode. I see them on Facebook all the time, lamenting that the 45 year old vehicle that they never maintain has gotten a flat tire, and there isn't someone there to "help" them fix it! Or, how about that person who just seems perpetually confused about everything? They have things that they want to do, but they need someone to hold their hand through every single challenge, or they break down and quit!
What's your dream? My dream was to raise my family out in the countryside, with animals, gardens, rolling hills, and happy memories for all of us. Currently, I can proudly point to what I have now, and say "I'm getting there!", but I'm not content to sit and marinate in the wins that I've had, but instead, I'm pressing on to the next thing!
I do my best to be very encouraging, but I also want to give you a kick in the pants, in case you were contemplating quitting on your dream. Hopefully this episode will give you a little boost and encouragement!
