Stop Playing Not To Lose

It is okay to lose. That is how we learn. That is how we get better at what we do. So it is okay to lose. It is okay to fail. It is okay to make mistakes.

When you lose, take it as an opportunity to get better, to know more about yourself. Take it as an opportunity to reach out to other people who are better than you at what you are doing. And when you lose, take it as an opportunity to question your ego.

‘If you are playing not to lose, you are already losing.’

Yes, your ego. You can’t win by respecting your ego. You can’t win if you don’t pocket your ego. Guess what? If you don’t pocket your ego, your ego will pocket you.

But it is not okay to focus on what is easy. Look, if you focus on what is easy, you will get what is easy. And what is easy doesn’t make you better. It makes you worse.

Do not be scared.

Everything is possible.

But to get there, the world of possibilities, you must stop playing not to lose. It won’t help you. If you are playing not to lose, you are already losing.

‘No one wins when fear is in charge.’

Because you are not giving your best. You are not becoming your best. And you are not connecting with the best. And above all, you are not being true to yourself.

To move forward in your life, you must stop playing not to lose. And you must start taking calculated risks. Do not allow fear to cripple you. Do not allow fear to control you. If you do, you will never achieve your dreams. Because no one wins when fear is in charge.

Our essence is always here even when we’re not aware of it, because it’s all around us.’

‘When we connect with Essence, we remember that, while there is good and evil in the world, we are here to choose the good. Every time we choose good over evil, we strengthens the presence of Essence in our lives. When we feel it, out lives are happier and more complete.’

Living in Essence shows us how to deal with fear, with crisis, with catastrophe. When we are connected with our inner truth and divinity, we can face our fears and either overcome them or use them as the warnings they are.’

Essence is joy, bliss, connectedness to everything. Essence is like the air you breathe- always present, rarely noticed, but essential for life.’

‘Intuitive asking requires your full attention. We have the power to ask questions of Essence and to get answers.’

Prayers and loving thoughts are our connection not only to Essence, but also to the people we care about here and on the other side.’

Changing or eliminating negative beliefs can take some work because they are often based on negative experiences from the past.’

‘Positive thoughts create positive results. Attitude is everything.
