When losing is winning.



I have takes some words from here and there and put this together...hope you enjoy it.



"Is winning the only way to win? It seems like a complicated question but it’s not. I mean, can we win something by losing?
A man loses his job and gets extremely depressed, but gets another job, a better job and does very well; this man did not win by losing the first job?
When we lose our innocence, do we win anything? I believe when we lose our innocence, we gain wisdom, we gain self-determination.
Don’t we win when we lose our fears? When I say we lose the fear I don’t mean we get a completely blind confidence and believe that we will always win, but lose the fear to lose, and that is what it’s all about.
We live like Cinderellas deleting the number twelve from all the clocks, so we never reach midnight and our coach never turns into a squash. But sometimes it takes a little madness to win something.
Sometimes losing control is the only way to gain freedom.
If I say 'losing hope' "Do we win anything by losing hope? After all, it is said it’s the last thing we lose.
Sometimes we have to lose that constant expectation, lose that vivid illusion we tightly hold on to, to make room for new things. Reach a point where it seems to be the end of everything and may actually be the beginning of something better. To lose the fear of losing, because sometimes losing is the only way to win.
To live dreaming is like having a platinum card with no limit, and to never get the bill.
If someone wakes us up when we're having a nightmare, we thank them. But if someone ruins a happy dream, we want to kill them, right?
Someone who holds-on on hope is holding on illusions, it is someone who will believe anything. Illusion is a bubble. We need to break our bubble.
When we lose hope, wake up from our utopist daydream and face reality at least we are being honest, and maybe, who knows the reality gives us a pleasant surprise. But what is certain is that those illusions will never give us what they promise. We can cry, scream, kick but we must wake up from that world in which we lived in.
The time has come to understand that this is the world we have to repair. This is the world we must resist in. We all hate and fear nightmares, but we should actually fear happy dreams, because those are the ones we don’t want to wake up from.
Dreaming means wanting to change a reality, hope is to deny that reality. Disappointment is nothing but a slap that reality gives us, and says "hey, do not be fooled, things are the way they are." If you're an optimist, a realist seems pessimistic.
This "faith" or "dream" makes us believe that we can draw water from rocks, but the reality is that if we want water we need to go to the river, because if there is something that the stones do not have is water.
Well, once we have lost hope and finally allowed ourselves to let go of this ideal world we treasured, we must grasp reality with both hands and say "well now what do I need to do with this?" And
I can assure you all that there is much to do.
There where our illusion ends, our real life begins, and then when we are disappointed we dream big with the world we want and with what we want to achieve. Clearly, we all hate the alarm clock, but what would be of our life without it?
What does an alarm clock awake when it wakes us up? Our senses. We come out of a dream and start to see, hear, smell, and feel.
To be able to wake up first we must want to do so. Then try. And then let it happen. We need to lose hope; to wake up because sometimes losing is winning."
