It could be a business deal, a job or even a relationship. More like you are sitting with a crown but no kingdom or you have the person but not their heart or commitment.
This win is inconvenient because you get the glory at the end but there is hollowness in the victory. This is why sometimes we have successful but empty lives.
Everything in life has got its ‘fine print’ and what we see and wish for from the outside, is not always what we ultimately get.
The truth about things and people doesn’t always come in capital letters.
If it is a shiny car, it needs regular polish to shine and, that the good relationship you want comes with a lot of investment in time, attention and sometimes sacrifice.
So as you consider how much you have won, who you have won or what you have won…is the crown fitting or you are burdened with an unwarranted cross that is too much to bear?
