Lose OR Gain ?!?

Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?

What is there to lose?

What is there to gain/win?

If you do this or that, would you lose?

If you do this or that, would you win/gain?

If you take this road, would you lose?

If you take this road, would you win/gain?

What if you were to contact this person, what would in your opinion be the outcome?

What if you were not to contact this person, what would in your opinion be the outcome?

Would timing play a role here?

Would you thoughts play a role here?

Would you energy play a role here?

How much energy do you need to invest?

How much effort do you need to put in?

How much resource would you need to work with?

How many people would you need to employ, if any at all?

There is a quote that quite sums up what I have been trying to convey here.

It goes something like this: in 10 years’ time (or so) we would regret those things that we did not do, those actions we did not take, those phone calls we did not make, those messages we did not send, those letters we did not send, those cards we did not post, those occasions we did not take our chance rather than all those things we did actually do, those actions we did actually take, those phone calls we did actually make, those messages we did actually send, those letters we did actually send, those cards we did actually post/email, those occasions we did actually take our chances.

Can we take the paper out and write down actually all the pros and all the cons if we took the action and then all the pros and cons in case that we did not take the action?

Could there be a pain?

Can we feel hurt?

What if the things did not work out as we planned, as we hoped?

What if the things did actually work out as we planned, as we hoped?

What if the people we counted on would not show up as promised?

What if the people we counted on would actually show up as promised?

What if the person we so love, we so adore, we so appreciate, we so cherish would actually accept our invitation and would go on a date with us?

What if we were wrong all along?

What if we were correct and right all along?

Can we suffer all the pain?

Can we suffer all the hurt?

Can we survive all the pain?

Can we survive all the hurt?

Can we suggest a different approach?

Can we come up with different solution?

Can we think of a different resolution?

Can we recommend a different way?

Fear is our enemy.

Ego can join in as well.

Fear and ego go hand in hand.

Are you letting the fear run your life?

Are you letting the ego run the riot in your life?

Perhaps we have been afraid of being rejected.

Perhaps we have been scared of being alone/feeling lonely.

Perhaps we have been worried of being left at the back.

How can you possibly know, how can you decide upon what may be right and what may be wrong for you?

How can you possibly forth see into the nearest future of yours?

How long can you possibly bear the pain?

How long can you possibly bear the hurt?

How long can you possibly bear being rejected?

How long can you possibly bear the feeling of neglect?

Yes, of course, we all have different points of where the pain subsides and where on the other hand it feels totally and utterly unbearable for us.

Can you look and see and search for the bright side of it all?

Can there possibly be a deeper meaning to it all?

Our experiences, our thought processes, perhaps even our heritage, our genetics, our stress level, the level of our health, that all can play and plays a significant role and part of what we are willing to try and pursue and what we would rather let go, let go of, forget completely, left totally alone, utterly ignore.

Are we passionate human beings not afraid of a change?

Are we passionate human beings not afraid to have our fingers burst from time to time?

Are we passionate human beings not scared of being rejected?

Are we passionate human beings willing to go after our dreams time and time again?

Are we passionate human beings that will try almost anything in order to achieve everything and anything that our mind can possibly produce?

Are we passionate human beings who will love over and over again even though we have been hurt in the past, left heartbroken, cheated on, etc.?

Are we passionate human beings who will still get up, brush ourselves off and carry on with the life and living every single and each day?

Are we passionate human beings who without the sign of tiredness will still keep up their art, their creation juices flowing, their writing, their singing, their music production, their painting, their gardening, their walking, their exercising, their healthy eating habits, their random acts of kindness, their love for the nature, for the animals, for the children, for the elderly, for anything unattractive, for their piece of quiet moment in the morning, for their cup of tea, for their ability to smile, to give, to love, to laugh, to inspire, to draw eternal pictures, for building castles and churches, for the ability to appreciate little things and be grateful for everything we have in our lives, be grateful for everything we have already achieved and enquired in our lives so far.

Can we go and do what is necessary even though we cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel?

What would we be willing to do if we know we could not possibly fail?!?
