What is your definition of a win? Winning looks different for everyone. There are so many different factors that go into “winning.” It can have as much to do with your environment as it does your mental state, your desire, your commitment.

I have experienced loss in my life. Many of you are the most familiar with my losses on Survivor. The whole “The tribe has spoken,” loss. Woof.

I tried so hard. I played emotionally, mentally, and physically taxing game. It stretched me in ways I cannot even begin to describe to you.

Thought, I have to tell you, it never felt like I lost. At least not for long. I won so many things. Things that lasted past the island. Friendships, life lessons, and most importantly, a sense of self.

There is a fine line between coming out on top and never letting the desire to win dominate your life.

What was a time that you “won” when the world might have called it a “loss”?
