Many people feel stuck in their situation, often thinking they're victims of their circumstances. This mindset can make you feel like a loser because your motivation plummets and hopelessness tends to set in. As a result, it becomes hard to accomplish what you want in life. Not being able to move past this frustration and have a fulfilling life is an all-too-common problem. So how can you rewire your brain to think more like a winner and start getting what you want?

 

In this episode, host Donald Miller talks about how to beat these challenges and set goals you can actually achieve. He opens up about his own story of how he changed from feeling like a failure to developing a winning mindset and finding amazing success. Exploring ideas from his book Hero on a Mission, he invites you to look at life in a brand new way especially as you begin the new year. You’ll learn how to shift from feeling like a victim to feeling like the hero of your own story. Listen in and get Don’s timely advice on changing how you see yourself and your ability to live a meaningful life.
