So, maybe it was the guy on American Idol who sang "We Are the Champions" that caused the song to rise to my conscious mind again... whatever the reason, I was just sitting here at my desk thinking of the lyrics -- the first verse in particular -- and I now have my answer to the question of deserving:
I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through
Who would have thought that the lyrics from a song by Queen would speak to my soul... but there you have it! This is the answer I've been searching for. This is why I DESERVE to succeed - to be happy - to live life to the fullest -- I've EARNED IT!
What a plethora of profundity... or perhaps it's just a mountain of manure. We may never really know for sure. Whatever the case, at least I got to exercise my alliterative muscles for the afternoon!

I love that song. It can speak to you at many times in your life, even if you don't realize it. :)
Yes you do deserve success, Lauren! Don't ever doubt it even when it seems afar off...
