For anyone who knows who I really am, you know that I'm
not afraid of failure - I just don't know what it is.
I'm an overachiever, a go-getter, a take charge gal.
I wanted to lose sixty pounds. I did it.
I wanted to be Transition Peer Leader. I got it.
I wanted to be Art Club VP & President. I got them.
I wanted to be in National Honors Society. I got it.
I wanted to be in the top 20 of my class. I got it.
I wanted to overcome Geometry. I ended up with a 108 average.
I wanted to be Teen PEP Leader. I got it.
I wanted to be Student Council President. I got it.
I wanted to go away for college. I did it.
I wanted to be in Women's Collective. I got it.
I wanted to be a Research Lab Assistant. I got it.
I wanted to be in APO. I got it.
See a pattern?
I'm not used to losing.
Tonight, I had a lot of second thoughts about
running for Historian for my Pledge class.
I realized I might not have a lot of time for it,
and I asked God to guide me and make the right decision.
I decided to run anyway, but I asked Him to humble me.
He did!
I didn't get the position. The person I thought
should have didn't either, but that's okay.
I'm not used to failing at something.
So this is my first time and I'm not.. upset?
I'm SO EXCITED.
Maybe I'm just weird.
But I had to share :)
I went. I failed. I'm humbled.
I'm not used to failing either, but when I do, it's like a "wow. I'm still normal." type of thing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are excited and I hope you are doing wonderfully! Always praying for you. ♥
I totally know what you mean, love. I ran for president of my pledge class and got it. But when it came time for the real sorority elections and I ran for Academics chair, I lost. I was so upset but it was okay! I learned how to deal with it. When it's time to find a job in the "real world" it will be a handy skill to have!
