Have you ever felt like you're stuck on a hamster wheel, constantly striving for a distant goalpost that just keeps moving?You hustle, you grind, but all you see is the chasm between where you are and where you want to be.This is the gap, and it's a master at breeding anxiety, dissatisfaction, and that nagging voice whispering, "Not good enough."The gain is about celebrating the small wins, acknowledging the progress, and cherishing the distance you've covered, not just the distance left to run.But living in the gain isn't always easy.
