You are just inches away from your dream life — and I’m going to prove it. You may not think it’s possible. You may not even see the path from where you are to where you want to be. But I promise you, even if you feel miles away, that new life is just right around the corner.

You’ve heard the popular phrase, “Football is a game of inches.” Every Sunday, teams win or lose after gaining or ceding a few inches here or there. Whether it’s a deep ball that flies just an inch over a defender’s hands, the tip of the ball grazing an endzone pylon, or a ball-carrier slipping by a tackle with just the right twist of movement and acceleration, an inch or two makes all the difference. Think of your life as the same, a game of inches.

You are so close to breaking that tackle. You are so close to scoring that touchdown. You just don’t realize it yet because the game is happening so fast around you.
