Lose

Lose everything that doesn’t serve you.
Even parts of yourself that have kept coming in your way.
Lose old baggage and forgive past mistakes.
It’s the only way you can truly move ahead.
Lose identity if it comes to that.
Sometimes it’s the only way to go beyond your own limits.
Lose attachment.
It will help you distinguish between what you want and what you need.
Lose comfort in order to accomplish things that matter to you.
Lose ego to win over your insecurities.
Lose religion to truly seek and question.
Lose the curtains you hide behind.
Lose the answers you’ll never find.
Lose what’s best to let go,
before an unasked big loss compels you to do so.
Lose when you can.
- Fatema Barot.
