Life and losses
Life is a succession of losses beginning with the loss of the warmth of the womb that nurtured us for the first nine months of our existence. In childhood we lost the luxury of total dependence on our mothers, we lost our favourite toys, we lost days dedicated to play and exploration, we lost the privilege of pursuing the irresponsible pleasures of youth, we seperate from the protection of our families as we leave the nest and take on adult responsibilities
Over the course of our adult lives, we lose money, we fail examinations, we miss opportunities, we lose friends, friends become strangers, we lose family and loved ones
We lose all these things and more, until we finally face the final loss, that of life itself. It cannot be denied that our lives are filled with losses. Some losses are great; some are small and the losses we face affect our mental health. Some people handle it well, while other dont
The quality that distinguishes a successful person from an unsuccessful one who is otherwise like him is the capacity to manage disappointment and loss
We need to expect mistakes, failures and losses in life, since each of us will face many of them and the way we handle it will determine how strong we are as a person
In life we dont lose, we only learn

Nice job
Very nice post thank you
That's a great post. It hit the nail right on the head. The longer I live, the more I find this to be true. We just have to deal with all the losses and keep on keeping on the @sunnieside!
