Gains
Man, I look back on the lessons of this year and one I have learned is I will never lose anything that I was supposed to keep.
Think about that. Let that marinate. How many of us are still trying to hold onto things that are just weighing us down? How many of us have cried over things that we thought were great losses? How many of us are in relationships that are not growing us? How many of us are still looking for that hat we will never find? Or those shoes? Those shoes were probably thrown away, ha! No, seriously. We get caught up in complacency, comfort, and just kind of caught up.
Think about that hat. Was that hat even cute? I mean, could you wear it to a great event? Who gave it to you? How about that boyfriend or girlfriend? Were they really that great? What were their aspirations? Were you guys really compatible? Were you spiritually connected? Now that friendship? Yeah, I guess you were friends forever, but.....were you both growing on the same path? Were you really "ride or dies" or was one doing more of the riding and dying? Those shoes, they were kind of ugly. Just saying.
The tears, stress, fret, despair, heartache, or whatever emotion you decide to connect to a loss, first decide if it is worth it. Seriously. Is there a lesson to be learned from the separation and detachment from that place, that person, that object. How much more can you grow from the absence of them versus their presence? See, the lesson may be in them leaving. There may be some kind of karmic growth you need to experience. Sight becomes clear, not clouded by emotion. Introspection should become the practice and goal.
Remember, you can't lose it if it's yours. There is something to gain from a loss even if you don't immediately see the lesson. We grow, even from detachment. Gains.
