In The Count to lose, but Born to WIN: My Fight to the Winner's Circle

Maslow's hierachies of needs diagram suggests that every human being has basic fundamental needs that must be fulfilled in order to live a successful and function life. Some of those needs include biological and physiological, safety, love and belonging, and esteem. It's commonly understood that the establishment and fulfillment of those needs begin within the family unit. But, because no one gets to choose the type of family or environment they're born or possibly adopted into, sometimes those family units off the stability needed to fulfill those needs and sometimes the opposite occurs. Either way, there are no guarantees as to how that family environment may affects one's growth, development, behaviors, and decision making processes which lead to various check-points in life on the road to one's destiny. In her riveting memoir, In The Count to lose, but Born to WIN; My Fight to the Winner's Circle, author Damita C. Corbett transparently shares some of the traumas and challenges she endured from childhood abuses and experiences that resulted in an adult life where abuse, promiscuity, bad decision making, and troubled relationships became her norm. Her desperation for true love and acceptance ultimately guides her to the arms of the One who becomes her one true Lover; through whom she begins the arduous processes of overcoming the tormenting and shameful experiences and behaviors of her past in order to live out the plan and purpose of who she was always created to be.
