i'll tell you why this isn't a contest.
this isn't a contest. what is this? my work? my life? my marriage? my parenting? my hairstyle? how many friends i have in real life or on facebook or instagram? or how i write the letter F. or what the pages look like in my notebook. or how much i know about any one particular topic.
this isn't a contest. i will be good at some things. even really good at a few things. there will be other things that i fail at. and other things that i will know nothing about. what is important to me may not matter at all to others - and that is not wrong - or right - it just is. there will be days or moments when i win - when all is right in a certain relationship, when i say just the right thing, when the project comes together perfectly. but even though i can say - i win - it really isn't a contest - you can be winning at life at the very same time as me - i hope you are!
and i still won't like the way i write the letter F.
thank goodness this isn't a contest.
