Thus, one gains by losing,
and loses by gaining.
– Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching 42
A challenge of life is making choices.
To buy a jacket, you have to part with money you meant for a book. To lose a job, you set youself free to embark on a journey you could not have found time for ……
Making choices in life is difficult. It is, nevertheless, better than not making one at all.
The trick is to appreciate what you lose for the things you gain, and what you gain for the things you lose.
This will help you to see serenity in life.
This is the essense of ‘yingyang balance’.
