Thanks for this post! It actually has come at a really perfect time in my life, and I needed this to remind me to be prepared for the tests that are to come. My boyfriend and I have been talking a lot about winners and losers, and up until recently I've been reluctant to admit that I'm even in the game...but my perceptions are changing! and with this change; life is throwing me a bit of shade right now, but I know that I can get on top of it. Thanks for the words of encouragement to your fellow steemit community!
