Triumph

Triumph is a word we associate with winning. We also associate it with overcoming obstacles. Some of my biggest obstacles have to do with my anxiety. My anxiety can, more often than I like to admit, cause me to eat poorly. I will also get fatigued, and my chest will hurt to the point where I feel like I’m having a heart attack.

Triumph over anxiety is something I have to work on every time I do something new, or I’m in an uncomfortable situation. In my line of work, aside from writing, that has been a daily thing for me. I work with people who have extreme emotional fluctuations and extreme behaviors.

One girl that comes to mind has lived some of the hardest lives a person can live, yet she never gives up. She constantly tries to better herself, even if the journey is long and difficult. This leads to my next part.

Triumph over adversity. Adversity is different for everyone. What I find difficult may not be a big deal or hard for someone else. For Amber and the characters that are with her. Their plight may seem simple to some readers. Why don’t they just leave the cabin? For these characters, Their adversity is more than just being in the cabin. They have to overcome their pride and fear. Amber Triumphs when she accepts who she is and what she has to do. Triumph happens when she realizes what must be done and takes action.

You cannot Triumph if all you do is realize the solution to your problem. Triumph is a verb; it’s an action. Which means you have to take action to make that solution happen.
