Losing out...
Losing out can be painful and it mostly hurts when the reason why you lost out is because you fear you needed to protect some few individuals.
After having gone through life for as long as I have and putting work as much as I have, I have come to see that, "loyalty is usually overrated until it turns out to favor you."
You see, we are in a competitive world where everyone is trying desperately to outdo everyone else and no matter how you try to do the best you can, there will always come that time when you will ask yourself, "should I or should I not" and I got to that stage at some point and after asking myself that question, I went with the latter and displeased self.
The journey we are on in life is more of the good things that awaits us at the end of the day and not of the bad we see at every turn. I believe there are infinite possibilities for everyone and that is why I believe that the word, "Opportunity comes but once" is misguided.
Life will demand of you loyalty with no promise of a reward. Life and the people you hold dear will always impress you that, you should live loyally for them instead of for yourself and when you get swayed with that notion, you become drawn into an endless pit of loses where everything and everyone you thought you knew will just wind up in the shadows.
Make wise decisions and never allow emotions and sentiments choose your side or point out your loyalty. There is more to life than wondering what the grass looks like on the other side.
I've seen people who were loyal to the extent that they lost themselves, and forgot who they were. And at the end of the day, all they got was pain. We should try to never lose ourselves.
the more you possess, the more anxiety you are....sometimes is good to lost somethings out of our life :)
Live life in fairness and you would know where your loyalty lies. Life in God is the best way for not loosing out because His plans for us are of good not of evil to bring us to an expected end. Even when it is delayed.
I agree with you @ejemai
Great and amazing write ups filled with a lot of inspirations.
Loosing out, that I can refer also to business, and things that concerns our day to day life. Losing out, doesn't makes you a failure or a looser. Loosing out doesn't fix you in the class of losers.
But, failure to learn from your mistakes, and picking and dusting your self from the floor and take on that, heads up and heads on and approaching that which brought you down, qualified you as a loser.
We aren't born into the see world to be a failure nor a loser. We are the author of our own faith. Losing and vicyory depends on the attitude of the mind, @ejemai
Hummmmm..... Some people actually believe once they tried something and it doesn't work out, that is the end of it or life...... They tend to loose hope and forget life is full of many chances.......... Thank U for this eye opening post...... @ejemai more grace
Loosing out at some ooint doesn't guarantee your definite failure in life; it's always neccessary to look at the other side, where there's some rays of light....
Truth is shit happens however, you're only allowed to feel sore not sorry; you need to move on and be sure to try as hard to get to the brighter side of life.
I appreciate reading this, it's totally worth the time.

Because losing will be very painful, so while we live, we must be faithful to do our best to have good things left to be remembered.
Thanks for sharing you
