I've found that small wins, small projects, small differences often make huge differences.
If world problems feel too big to tackle, think small. Step by step. Small wins build confidence, lead the way to change.
Confidence makes you willing to try harder and attracts the kind of support from others that makes "winning" possible.
Perpetuating success or sliding into decline is the result of many intersecting forces that reinforce one another directly and indirectly. They are both cause and effect of winning or losing. Winning generates positive forces, losing generates negative forces.
Winning becomes easier over time as the cornerstones of confidence become habits.
I've been looking at companies that are on a positive path vs. a negative path and I've come to use the language of sports, winning streaks and losing streaks.
The behavior of people and the culture of an organization are very different in winning streaks and losing streaks. But what both have in common is their momentum - once winners' or losers' habits and culture take hold, they tend to perpetuate themselves.
The goal of winning is not losing two times in a row.
