Life cant be impeccable as winning and losing is served in mixed doses. For normal people like us, it is unfortunate that we are mostly forced to lose. Loss is a very delicate word which takes a different context each time in the many, many events that occur in our lifespan.

If given a thought - what is this all about? Ultimately, It is progress and not perfection. Its about the feeling and not fretting. I totally agree to the fact that saying, "NO! I give up" is better than holding onto it and not accepting the changes and rejections life serves you. Isn't it better to vote for the lesser of the 2 evils, because 'winning at any cost!' is the greater loss.

After all, losing is also a part of winning. It gives you more inspiration, determination and the courage to taste the fear of losing which someday might land you in the pole position and mind you, nobody can shake your roots.

For me losing has always meant learning. Learning why you lost and the catalyst that drove you down that lane to hit the rock bottom which someday might form the solid foundation for you to rise up and re-build yourself. 

There can be another perspective to this topic, which is - losing not necessarily mean to surrender or to sacrifice to someone. It can also be treated as losing the entire entity itself.

Here the entity can be someone who is causing you continuous distress and all you are doing right now is to brood about those unwanted associations. just think, you might be giving them the 2 most important things that they least deserve - TIME & VALUE. So what can you do? [command + delete.]

The entity can also be a desperate/unwanted habit or a raging urge to do something that causes discomfort to you and to others around you. for instance, A simple 4-inch cigarette can cost your life and might also cause a negative impact among others. It can be the 'X' kgs of ego you carry which might create a grave in one's mind for you or you may lose a valuable relationship because of the 'I am everything" that you carry. So what can you do? [command + delete.]

When You breathe out carbon-dioxide to win back life, when you sweat it out to gain a perfectly toned body, All these things are unknowingly done where you are actually winning by shredding away the negative elements from within. cultivating such small intricately woven attitude will put you one step up the ladder.
