Things you cannot lose
When you worry too much about losing something, you've
already lost it. For your worry prevents you from receiving
any value out of whatever you're so worried about losing.
Things do change, and what is here today may well be gone
tomorrow. You can worry and fret over that reality, or you
can joyfully and lovingly make the most of all you have
right now.
The joy that you fully experience, you will not lose. The
love that you live and give, cannot be taken from your heart
by any outside circumstance.
If you invest yourself too heavily in the fleeting,
superficial things in life, you'll be setting yourself up
for a shattering disappointment when those things are no
longer with you. Instead, learn to treasure those real,
substantial, meaningful things that time and events cannot
erase.
Get in the habit of fully living each day with meaning and
purpose. You'll find yourself worrying less about what you
have to lose, and focusing more on what you have to use.
Express gratitude for all you have by making the very most
of it. And you'll always have plenty to be thankful for.
