In this game, my true strength lies in the challenge to stand down or fall in, because no one else can conquer this for me. It doesn't matter here about the actual win or lose title or prize - I am not on parade anymore. The step I take to overcome it, or what it symbolizes, is priceless: and that is what I need now.I don't need the stuff, the trophies or the bowing down to rank, label or set trendy expectations, because this is about gracefully relinquishing a former or hoped for glory. It means looking within to find and proclaim self-acceptance. It is handing off the reigns, admitting I am human after all, and cannot do it alone anymore!
