Learn the Secret to Moving Forward Faster after a Major Change or Loss
We Are all Losers
Being a "loser" is not a bad thing. It doesn't mean we are incompetent, maladjusted, or irresponsible.
Being a"loser" means you have experienced the loss of someone or something you loved or cared deeply about.
We lose jobs, relationships, opportunities, loved ones, money, our health, investments, our houses, our businesses, our careers...the list of the losses we sustain over a lifetime is mind boggling.
With those obvious physical losses come inner losses we may be less aware of...
- Loss of Identity
- Loss of Confidence
- Loss of Security
If we are not aware of their impact, those inner losses can set us up for long-term struggle in our lives, jobs, and relationships.
Loss is an integral and unavoidable part of the human existence. We are always losing something.
That means the way we walk through, recover from, and move forward from our losses will in large part determine the quality of our lives, jobs, and relationships...now and in the future.
The stakes are high. Loss isn't something we can take lightly, put off dealing with, or ignore.
