We all have something to lose

If you are able to read this right now, you have something to lose no matter what situation you are in. Life. That is the last thing we will lose while on Earth. Therefore, everything else we have on top of that can be lost. We can either live in fear, or cherish what we have in the moment.

Most often, we only really see what we had when it is gone. A lot of people say they took breathing for granted once they get a stuffy nose. I, personally, wish I cherished having 20/20 vision when I was younger. The simple things in life can really make a difference.

When it comes to people, it can be painful to go through loss. That might mean through death, a disagreement, or just growing apart. I thought for a bit that if I didn’t get close with anyone, it would be a lot harder for me to be betrayed or go through a loss. That sounds kind of lonely though.

We choose how we look at life. You can either see only negative from the experience of a friend that stabbed you in the back, or you can tell yourself that you learned from it and grew. You can decide to stay bitter about having poor eyesight, or you can be happy about the vision you have left.

Learning from experiences you have and figuring out how to think more positively could almost be looked upon as something you gained from the loss. It is all about your perspective.
