You know the feeling; it's such a common human experience. We have our eyes on a prize. We fight, we toil, we sow, we sacrifice, and then? It all goes to someone who didn't put in the work, but just showed up with a charming smile at the right time. When dreams crumble, when all our work amounts to nothing or someone else reaps the reward, when the crown (or whatever your personal equivalent is) goes to the usurper, we have a serious choice to make. Giving up is one option. Continuing to fight is another. Personally? I prefer option #3: Stop fighting for the throne and go build your own kingdom.
I feel like the past three decades of my life were all fighting for that throne, working to win that crown. The last few years in particular have felt like loss after loss after loss. I'm ready to stop fighting that fight, but not ready to quit. The only real choice is to walk away from this season and pour my energy into building something else.
Today is the day of resolutions, of new beginnings, and I'm ready.
