I’ll never tell you that I have it all figured out.

In fact, most of the time, I’m flying by the seat of my pants just trying to survive my day.

Sure, I have those glorious moments tucked in between the storms when I feel like I can conquer the world,

But those victories are fleeting.

There was a time when every little thing that went wrong tore me into pieces and each defeat shattered me and my confidence.

Not anymore.

I’ve realized that if one door closes, there’s another one waiting for me and chances are, it is better.

No more “why me” and being a victim..

I’m changing the game and seizing my chance to become a victor.

If it’s to be, it’s up to me,

And I’ll never be able to do that if I’m wallowing in all the things that have gone wrong.

I’m turning the page and starting a new chapter.

You know, the one where the damsel in distress stops looking to be saved and start saving herself…

Yeah, that’s the one.

Where the damsel realizes that she was a queen all along and stops complaining and starts fighting back..

And begins to become the force she was always capable of being.

So, I guess that’s my version of the fairy tale.

I stopped holding out for a hero and became the heroine of my own story.

I raised my expectations, stopped settling and started kicking ass.

I think I’ll call this chapter simply..

“Winning.”
