The fear of losing what I had at that moment.

I was scared to death of loss, as we all tend to be to varying extents.

In fact, we're biologically wired to respect the fear of loss to a greater extent than the prospect of acquisition.

There's humor in all this, though.

A deeply rooted irony.

It emerges when we discover that we lose everything.

It all goes.

The song that's playing ends for each and every one of us.

And is this a sad thing?

No.

No more than the credits to your favorite movie rolling after the final scene.

It was the show, the experience that meant the world.

It's a beautiful thing if you let it manifest in all its beauty.

if you move along with it, immerse yourself in its brilliance.

My point is that the only way to lose is to wait.

It's to not realize that you're starring in your own cinematic masterpiece, and those credits will at some point roll.

It's to sit in a chair on the side of the gym while the rest of the room dances.

Life is finite.

And the power is not in a flawless existence.

It's an understanding to our core that there is nothing to lose.
