At times, if you don’t re-examine your perspective about rejection and failure, every unplanned shift in life will appear to be rejection or failure.

Rejection and failure are apart of life so if my experiences appear to be that, it is what it is.

If it isn’t, then eventually I’ll be forced to look at what life is trying to tell me, learn what needs to be learnt and try to form different habits.

Forming different habits is another thing. This may include developing systems that will enable my success within my environment.

Other the flip side, some things aren’t even that deep and doesn’t need any examination.

I’m thankful for those who don’t give up on me. I’m not the type to give up on people as much as I think I do.

I’m the ‘ I’m in it to win it with you’ type and sometimes I don’t know when to hang in there or whether I’m to let go.

I may brag that once I’m hurt I’m done with someone, but it really isn’t true.

Jesus, thanks for bringing the right people around at the right time. I may be stubborn (have a complicated relationship with mental health) and learn things the hard way but I know for sure that you will never give up on me.

This complicated relationship with my

Mental health may not put me in the best light with people and it may obscure my perception of events and people but I’m a work in progress and can take full responsibility for this.

Help me to help others be their best and vice versa.

Help me to let go of friends and associates that aren’t good for me and vice versa.

To the rest of us, the best of us, I’m in it to win it with you.

I’ll always want to be the best version of me. The best woman, the best partner, the best daughter, relative, mom, friend, citizen, entrepreneur, Scrum Master, worker…

It isn’t easy but I’ll try. Jesus I know you won’t give up on me. You know my strengths and not many people do. My relatives and friends do.

But I’m enough. I’m more than good enough.

No rejection or failure will continue to define me.
